This work is compatible with GPL license under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by version 2 of the Free Software Foundation http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.txt .

This License is licensed with the "GNU GPL" license.

Purposes: This WEB General Public License is intended to guarantee freedom to share and change free webpages and to make sure the webpage is free for all its users. This WEB General Public License applies to WebPages CODE and CONTENTS and to any other appliances whose authors commit to using it. You can apply it to your webpages and websites, too.

When we speak of free web, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our WEB General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free webpages/websites (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the codes, contents or use pieces of it in new free websites; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the webpages, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a webpage, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the webpages, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the webpages as long as the full license note appears with the link to the WGPL Project, original author note, sources, and if the page code or content is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free web is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free web will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the webpage code and content proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

[edit] THE LICENSE

WEB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - WebGPL V-1.0 Version 1, May 2002

Copyright (c) 2002 - AUTHOR: Franco M. Ilariucci this work is compatible with GPL license under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by version 2 of the Free Software Foundation http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.txt

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

WEB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

This License applies to any website or other webpage which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Web", below, refers to any such webpage code or content, and a "work based on the Web" means either the Web or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Web or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Web is not restricted, and the output from the Web is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Web (independent of having been made by running the Web). Whether that is true depends on what the Web does.
