License Issues

Curl and libcurl are released under a MIT/X derivate license. The license is

very liberal and should not impose a problem for your project. This section

is just a brief summary for the cases we get the most questions. (Parts of

this section was much enhanced by Bjorn Reese.)

We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. You should probably consult

one if you want true and accurate legal insights without our prejudice.

6.1I have a GPL program, can I use the libcurl library? Yes!

Since libcurl may be distributed under the MIT/X derivate license, it can be used together with GPL in any software.

6.2I have a closed-source program, can I use the libcurl library?

Yes!

libcurl does not put any restrictions on the program that uses the library.

6.3 I have a BSD licensed program, can I use the libcurl library?
