This talk is an overview of the current compatibility of the various app stores with the major copyleft licenses.
I will then speak about the technical limitations of what those platforms impose on application licenses. I will also cover license strategies to have cross-platform FLOSS applications distributed on those app stores.
This talk is an overview of the current compatibility of the various app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Windows Store, BB, etc...) with the major copyleft licenses.
I will then speak about the technical limitations of what those platforms impose on application licenses, notably on Android, where a large part of the userland is licensed under Apache 2.
I will also cover license strategies to have cross-platform FLOSS applications distributed on those app stores, if one would like to do it.
Most of the information gathered here are based on the work we did on VLC to get it running on numerous mobile platforms.
