copyfree

Copyfree is one of several concepts for copying, using, modifying, further developing and distributing third-party software. This concept is in contrast to copyright, the intellectual property right, and is to be seen as a supplement to copyleft, which does not restrict the rights of the owner in any way.

With Copyfree, there is no monopoly right to the intellectual property as with copyright, nor is it subject to any regulations like Copyleft when it is distributed. There are principles that grant control rights to the owner.

Copyfree licensing requires that the original software and its modifications may be distributed under the same conditions. These rules are laid down in the Copyfree Standard Definition( CSD) of the Copyfree Initiative.
