About GPL (General Public License)

In this section we will try to give you an overview of what GPL (General Public License) means and why the software we redistribute is 100% legal and the original copies.

About GPL

First of all, it is important to emphasize that we do not want to break any law and we do not want you to break any law, so if you want to report any abuse or if you consider that any product listed on our site should be removed, we invite you to contact us and we will quickly analyze your claim.

Well, the GPL license is a copyright license widely used in the world of free and open source software and guarantees end users (people, organizations, companies) the freedom to use, study, share (copy) and modify the software. Its purpose is twofold: to declare that the software covered by this license is free, and to protect it (through a practice known as copyleft) from appropriation attempts that restrict those freedoms to new users each time the work is distributed, modified or extended.

Users or companies that distribute their works under the GPL can charge for them or distribute them for free. This distinguishes the GPL from software licenses that prohibit commercial distribution. The FSF argues that commercial distribution of software (including redistribution) should not be restricted, and the GPL explicitly states that works covered by this license may be sold at any price.
