Minix 3 许可证 GPL 兼容吗？

有谁知道 Minix 3 的许可证是否兼容 GPL？这是一个 BSD 风格的许可证，但我不完全确定它是否与 GPL 兼容。

这是许可证的链接：http://www.minix3.org/other/license.html

答案1

这里是 MINIX 3 许可证：

前三个子句正是BSD 3 条款许可证，即与 GPL 兼容。第四条是多余的，任何其他使用均属侵犯版权，除非版权所有者明确许可。因此 MINIX 许可证是 GPL 兼容的。

答案2

Minix 3 许可证看起来非常相似标准 BSD 风格许可证它比 GPL 更宽松，例如，它将允许以二进制形式将软件用于商业用途，而无需强制发布源代码。

它被认为是自由软件（像任何 BSD 软件一样），但是与GPL不兼容主要是因为“广告条款”。 GPL 往往具有更多限制。换句话说，虽然 GPL 确实允许软件的商业用途，但它确实强制现在和将来根据 GPL 发布源代码（对于任何进一步修改它的人）。 BSD 风格许可证允许发布没有源代码的二进制版本的软件，无论它是未经修改还是已被进一步修改。
