MoSync Dual License Model

Mobile Sorcery provides the MoSync SDK under a dual license model designed to meet the development and distribution needs of both open source projects as well as commercial distributors (such as OEMs, ISVs and VARs).

Open source

For developers of Free Open Source Software ("FOSS") applications under the GPL that want to combine and distribute those FOSS applications with MoSync, the open source software MoSync licensed under the GPL is the best option.

Commercial

OEMs, ISVs, VARs and other distributors that combine and distribute commercially licensed software with the MoSync SDK and do not wish to distribute the source code for the commercially licensed software under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (the "GPL") must enter into a commercial license agreement with Mobile Sorcery. Purchasing a commercial license means that the GPL does not apply, and a commercial license includes the assurances that distributors typically find in commercial distribution agreements.
