====== 51 Licensing ======

Licensing is an important legal part of software development. We respect the licenses of software and products that we use in our software. How we license the software we create (customer project SW, open source SW, etc.) has implications for consumers. 


===== Licensing of HSE Software =====

See [[code:common:license|22 License File]]


===== Use of Software in Our Projects =====

We have to respect the license of software, software components and other resources (images, icons, sounds, ...) from other sources (websites, VIPM, open source projects, ...).


==== Proprietary Projects ====

TBD


==== Open Source Projects ====

Open source projects can have a big variety of licenses with very different rights and obligations. The most important open sources licenses and what we need to consider is listed below.
