Open Source Licenses

Most of the projects and products here on Eon Clash are licensed under the GPL, LGPL and MPL open source licensees. Like CKEditor (in fact we took the idea straight from them) we utilize a triple copyleft licensing model to avoid incompatibility with other open source licenses in use today. In general this allows the projects to be used for:

  • Components, snippets, and applications to be included into Open Source software
  • Personal and educational usage of components, snippets, and applications
  • Integration of components, snippets, and applications into commercial projects as long as the product satisfies the Open Source licenses terms, while not able or interested in support all of the hard work that goes into these projects here at Eon Clash.

Commercial License or Closed Source Distribution License

For many companies and products, Open Source licenses are not an option. This is why the Eon Clash has again followed in CKEditor's footsteps in creating a Closed Source Distribution License (CDL). It is a non-copyleft license which gives companies complete freedom when integrating Eon Clash's products or projects into their products and web sites.

This license offers a very flexible way to integrate Eon Clash products and projects in your commercial application. The main advantages it offers over an Open Source license:

  • Modifications and enhancements don't need to be released under an Open Source licens
  • There is no need to distribute any Open Source license terms alongside with your product and no reference one must be given
  • No references to Eon Clash have to be done in any file distributed with your product
  • The source code of the Eon Clash project(s) don't have to be distributed alongside your product
  • You can remove, rename, or customize any file when integrating it with your product

The CDL is a lifetime license valid for all releases of the purchased project(s) published during and before the year following its purchase. It includes 1 year of personal e-mail support.
