EULA:   End User Licensing Agreement

Each piece of code a developer makes available should come with a EULA.
This [license] is a piece of documentation which makes it clear what rights the developer retains and what rights
the user has.

Within the internet community developers sometimes use a boilerplate
license such as:
   * [BSD]
   * [GPL]
   * [LGPL]
   * [NOL]
   * [OLL]

[[add others here]]

[DKF]: It should be noted that the legality of many commercial EULAs are distinctly dodgy, but the [BSD] [license] (which [Tcl] uses) is hard to dispute because it is very permissive.

[LV]: It should also be noted that while many times developers come to Tcl using GPL or LGPL as their license, that tends to start a political/legal
discussion based on others requesting a change/addendum to using BSD/Tcl
style licensing so they can use the code places where GPL/LGPL may
cause some issues.

This page is '''NOT''' intended to be a place to debate these issues - I'm just making a general observation.
