Re: [Freeswitch-users] MPL in simple terms

Is there a simple explanation, in terms that a mere software engineer can understand, what the MPL license means?

You can use the code for whatever purpose you want, as long as you give all changes you make to that code back to the project basically.

1) Can I sell FS under my own guarantee and support?

Yes and yes

2) If I write code that connects FS to an external application that I have written, does the external application have to be MPL as well?

No it can be whatever License you want. Of course you have to check if the license you choose to give to your application has a problem with that ;)

3) Extension to previous question: What if the external application is Active Directory?

And ?
