[Question: Licence] What is the actual licence of current VeraCrypt? Does it still depend on TrueCrypt, ie. TrueCrypt licence?
Dear all,
Using openSUSE (Leap) as Linux distribution.
VeraCrypt is shipped as an additional package with it. The last update lagged somehow. There, some questions about licence have come up. It is being discussed what is the actual licence of VeraCrypt.
Is a current VeraCrypt standing fully under Apache Licence? Or are there still remaining TrueCrypt parts? I.e. the TrueCrypt licence from former times is still holding?
This is important for openSUSE and their maintainers. In order to put VeraCrypt to the regular free part of distribution and packages. Or putting it to the nonfree part.
Please, @idrassi and others, share and explain. TIA!
Veracrypt is dual-license project, just open license file and read second paragraph:
VeraCrypt is multi-licensed under Apache License 2.0 and the TrueCrypt License version 3.0, a verbatim copy of both licenses can be found below.
To be precise: are there many or even significant remaining parts of code relying on TrueCrypt licence — instead of Apache licence?
@idrassi I am begging for input. TIA!
