License
blueMarine is distributed under the Apache License 2.0, but as it includes several modules made by third parties and released with different licenses, things get a bit complex.
Basically:
- if you want to use blueMarine as a single application, you must refer to the Apache license;
- if you want to use some of the blueMarine components individually (with "individually" I mean without third parties' modules), you must refer to the Apache license;
- if you want to integrate your own components and redistribute blueMarine, you must avoid using an incompatible license.
There are two documents, one from GNU and the other from Sun, which should help in understanding this topic.
Until version 0.8.5 blueMarine was distributed under the GPL license.
Versions 0.8.6 through 0.9.EA7 were distributed under the MIT license.
