# License
|
|
|
|
FreeTRX is a fork of the **OpenGD77** firmware and inherits its license. The
|
|
original license terms of the OpenGD77 source are reproduced below and apply in
|
|
full to this project, including all modifications made in this fork.
|
|
|
|
> **Note on the license:** this is a modified **BSD 3-Clause** license with an
|
|
> additional **non-commercial** clause (clause 4). Because of that clause it is
|
|
> **not** an OSI-approved open-source license and is **not compatible with the
|
|
> GNU GPL** — the code cannot be relicensed under the GPL or any permissive
|
|
> license. Commercial use is prohibited.
