Apache License 2.0
TillåtandeSPDX-identifierare:
Apache-2.0OSI ✓Data uppdaterad 26 sep. 2026MaskinöversättningMed enkla ord
Tillåtande licens med uttrycklig patentlicens, patentvedergällning och krav på att markera ändrade filer.
Liknelse: En gratis verktygslåda som också har ett löfte om att inte stämma dig för dess patent — om du inte stämmer först.
Fördelar
- + Uttrycklig patentlicens från varje bidragsgivare
- + Föredras av många företag och stiftelser
- + Skyddar varumärken
Nackdelar
- - Längre; hantering av NOTICE-fil
- - Inte kompatibel med GPL-2.0-only
- - Stoppar inte hostade konkurrenter

If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You meet the following conditions:

5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty.
