GNU General Public License v2.0

Type: Copyleft

GNU General Public License v2.0 is a strong copyleft license which restricts use of + content licensed under it by requiring all source code of the content to be publicly + available, making binary-only form and inclusion of proprietary code impossible, requiring + all derivatives to be licensed under the same license (allowing sublicensing under only + newer GPL licenses if GPL-2.0-or-later is specified in the + SPDX-License-Identifier), and requiring the original copyright notice to be kept in order to + attribute the original creator of the licensed content.
+ Due to the restrictive and invasive nature of this license, it is avoided unless such + restrictions would be beneficial to Inferencium code; whenever this is the case, the GNU + General Public License v2.0 will be used, rather than the more restrictive + GNU General Public License v3.0", and relicensing derivatives under GNU General Public + License v3.0 will be disallowed.
