Hi everyone, It occurred to that I did not discuss this on this list. *[Disclaimer: IANAL, if anything I'm saying here is incorrect, please call me out]*
Basically, when I started coding, I just licensed GnucashMobile using the same license as the Gnucash (GPLv2 or later). Should I leave this as-is, or would the Apache License v2 be more appropriate? The Apache license is not compatible with GPL v1 and 2, but is compatible with GPLv3. (GPLv3 is a subset of APLv2) [1] However, Apache is the license used by Android Open Source project [2] and a lot or other Android libraries and apps. GPL is used quite a bit too [3] and is the license of Gnucash itself: anyone who modifies the code must share the modifications. >From my (limited) observations, a lot of the GPL apps are ports from the desktop versions. But GnucashMobile is not a port. Personally, I prefer the Apache version 2 license as it seems to be the preferred open source license for Android libraries and applications. So what say you?
