Description
Hi,
The Q&A below from FIWARE FAQ is not 100% clear in my opinion. The first sentence is ok. But the second sentence does not answer to the question.
So I modify a given FIWARE GEri and then release the modified version of it (if required). That's fine. But how about my APPLICATION, which is using that modified GE? Can my application still be a closed one?
Regards
-Erkka
Do I need to release my application software as open source if I decide to use FIWARE?
If you decide to modify the software of a given FIWARE GEri, you may have to release the modified version of that software if the open source license of the FIWARE GEri requires to do so.
However, your application will typically just use FIWARE GEris without modifying their implementation, therefore you are not required to release your application as open source if you don't want to do so.
