Topic: About Licensing

Hi. Administrator

To ask you about, cyassl and taocrypt license

cyassl based gpl-v2
taocrypt based gpl

I was in a commercial software, you need to use cyassl the ctaocrypt, does not use server, seemingly need pay. taocrypt is c + + library, if cyassl the ctaocrypt for pay, then I turn into taocrypt, I will not have to pay it. I only used like md5, sha1 encryption function like. Do I need to open all of our code?

ps.

Re: About Licensing

Hi syang,

All of our products, including CyaSSL and wolfCrypt/CTaoCrypt are dual licensed under both the GPLv2 as well as a commercial license.  If your product cannot tolerate the terms of the GPLv2, you would need to purchase a commercial license.

Individual crypto modules fall under the same license model, where you would need to purchase a commercial license if the GPLv2 did not fit into your project.  Please feel free to send us additional licensing questions at licensing@wolfssl.com.

Best Regards,
Chris
