Open Source Licensing

The DZX SDK can be used for free under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3). The GPLv3 is a copyleft license; thus, any software you write using the open source SDK, or modifications you make to the SDK, must also be licensed under the GPLv3. Please review the license to ensure that you can meet all of the requirements.

For example,

  • You must open source for your applications built upon the SDK.
  • You must open source any changes you make to the SDK.
  • You must provide the ability to install modified code, for your applications, upon your distributed devices.
  • You must document that your application/device contains GPL software.

If you cannot agree to meet the full requirements of the open source license, you must acquire a Commercial License.
