Declare your Open Source component usage

⚠️ All developers must ensure their Open Source component usage are compliant with their associated licenses.

Most of Open Source Licenses need simple informative declaration within the app. This is the case for MIT, Apache 2, etc. But some of them might be more tricky depending of the type of license. The most known of tricky one is FFMPEG LGPL 2.1 and/or GPL 2 for instance (see https://ffmpeg.org/legal.html). Such license is also called contagious license, meaning that if you use FFMPEG Library in your code, you might have to open and distribute your full code to Open Source. Or provide with a separate Library to be compiled (with script guidance) on the side of your app and show that your app will still run, etc.

Any way, while using Open Source code within you app, you must file a tracker using A “Distribution of an Orange software containing Free/Open source code request”. From there an Orange Referent will follow-up with you and provide with how you should declare such components within your app.
