<p>Type: Copyleft</p>
<br>
<p><a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-only.html" class="body-link"
>GNU General Public License v2.0</a> 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 <code>GPL-2.0-or-later</code> 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.<br>
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
<a href="#licensing-gpl-3.0" class="body-link"
>GNU General Public License v3.0"</a>, and relicensing derivatives under GNU General Public
License v3.0 will be disallowed.</p>
