      Change noVNC license to from LGPLv3 to MPL 2.0 · 1d728ace
      Joel Martin authored
      The MPL 2.0 license is a "file-level" copyleft license vs the
      "project-level" nature of the L/GPL. The intention of noVNC has
      always been that it should be easy to incorporate into existing
      projects and sites whether free/open or proprietary/commercial. The MPL
      2.0 is designed for this sort of combination project but still
      requires that any distributed modifications to noVNC source files must
      also be published under the same license.
      
      In addition, the MPL 2.0 allows the code to be used in L/GPL projects
      (the secondary license clause). This means that any projects that are
      already incorporating noVNC should not be impacted by this change and
      in fact it should clarify the licensing situation (the exact
      application of the L/GPL to web applications and interpreted code is
      somewhat ambiguous).
      
      The HTML, CSS, image and font files continue to be under more
      permissive licenses (see LICENSE.txt). The included websockify python
      code remains under a LGPLv3 license although the include/websock.js
      file from the websockify component is now under MPL 2.0 as well.
      
      Permission was received from other noVNC authors to make this change to their
      code license on the following dates:
      
          - Chris Gordon (UI): Jun 24, 2012
          - Antoine Mercadal (DOM,*util.js): Oct 10, 2012
          - William Lightning (UltraVNC repeater): Oct 10, 2012
          - Mike Tinglof (tight encoding): Oct 15, 2012

      License clarification: HTML,CSS,images,fonts under permissive licenses. · d58f8b51

      Clarify in LICENSE.txt that the noVNC core library is the part that is
      LGPLv3 licensed. The HTML, CSS, images and fonts are separate from the
      core library and can be modified and distributed with the noVNC core
      but under their own license conditions.
      
      HTML and CSS: 2-Clause BSD
      Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1
      Images: CC BY SA 3.0
      
      In other words, you can modify the layout and appearance of of noVNC
      to integrate with an existing or new web site or application without
      having to publish the source for those modifications under the LGPLv3.
      However, use of and modification of the noVNC core library (i.e. the
      core Javascript that makes up noVNC) must still be according to the
      LGPLv3.
      
      Chris Gordon was the other contributor to the HTML, CSS, and images
      included with noVNC and gave permission for this license clarification
      on June 23, 2012.
