SvarCOM is released under the terms of a liberal and permissive (MIT) license
that does not impose limitations on how users may or may not use the software.

I am aware that this section, and its slightly provocating title, may trigger
reactions from GPL enthusiasts, hence let me explain with more words. I enjoy
creating software and I publish it for others to use for free. Should someone
wish to extend SvarCOM with an extra feature and decide not to publish the

still open and free. Theirs is not, but its their work, so I find it fair that
they have the freedom to decide how to distribute it. I certainly do not wish
to impose my views on others.
