The OVA for AS3 product is offered under the terms of GNU GPL V3 and concurrently under a commercial license. This approach is called dual licensing. It does not harm the terms of GNU GPL and enables commercial entities, that do not wish to comply with GPL, more suitable terms. From a licensing perspective, the software is made available as two different products, depending on their usage and distribution, though technically the source code is identical.
Our open source license ( GNU GPL v3.0) allows one to freely copy, distribute, modify and compile all OVA for AS3 software. It also allows one's software to be linked or otherwise used with OVA software if it is provided under a GNU GPL compliant open source license.
Our commercial license allows you to distribute your software, that is based on or otherwise uses OVA for AS3, under non-GPL terms. This licensing option is meant for individuals and legal bodies that do not want to release the source code of their software under a GNU GPL V3 compliant open source license. The OVA for JW Player & OVA for Flowplayer plugins are examples of commercial software that have been issued under a commercial license using the commercially licensed OVA For AS3 framework.
If OVA for AS3 is to be incorporated into a product or player that is not compatible with GNU GPL V3, then a commercial license is required.
If it is incorporated into another open source product that is compatible to the GNU GPL V3, then it remains under GPL and no commercial license is needed.
