Transparent Technologies Product Licensing

Open-Realty is an open source product. The complete source code and documentation is available for download from our Web site.

The open source license for Open-Realty permits you to use the software at no charge under two conditions.

1.You have to leave the html comment that reads "<!--Open-Realty is distributed by Transparent Technologies and is Licensed under the Open-Realty License. See http://www.open-realty.org/oslicense.html for more information.-->”" intact.

2. If you use Open-Realty in an application you redistribute, the complete source code for your application must be available and freely redistributable under reasonable conditions.

What does "redistribute" mean?

The term "redistribution" in the Open-Realty public license means your application is distributed to one or more third parties. Giving an application to customers, even in alpha or beta releases, is redistribution. Giving contractors, affiliates, parent organizations or subsidiaries, business partners or support vendors a copy of the application is generally redistribution.

The following are not redistribution:

• Building an application for use internal to your organization, deployed and managed on your company servers.
• Off-site backups or other software archival procedures.

If you have questions about whether your use of Open-Realty constitutes redistribution, please contact us.
