Spotbugs in under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1. This licence is primarily used for software libraries, and requires that derived works be licensed under the same license, but works that only link to it do not fall under this restriction.
So the answer is: You can freely use Spotbugs til help your commercial game for free. More info at https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesser-general-public-license-v2.1-(lgpl-2.1)
What about source disclose? If i'm only using it for bug check in game development. Am I forced to open the source code of my game? Maybe this question sounds silly, but I'm not a lawyer.
Am I forced to open the source code of my game?
No.
thanks for help.
np
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask such questions, but i'll try. I want to know few things about the license. I'm not sure if I understood it correctly. Can i use SpotBugs as help(bugcheck) to develop a commercial game for free? Next question: from what I understood i must make source open only in the case when i'm extending source code of SpotBugs. Not when i'm using it as help to find bugs in software? Are there any other restrictions I should be aware of?
Greetings tliter.
