We're getting ready to deploy a commercial application. Our software makes use of several other libraries, which have licenses ranging from the Code Project Open License (CPOL), the LGPL, the Apache License, and the MIT License

We want to comply with all of these licenses, obviously, but we're a small outfit that doesn't have a legal department to help us out with these things. Currently, as all the libraries are dynamically linked, and not embedded into the executable, I think we're mostly in the clear. Our project is closed-source, and is intended to be sold, and possibly resold by those we provide it to.

In the source code that uses these libraries, we've placed the related license at the head of the file.

In our About Box, we've placed the licenses as well (Is this step necessary)

Would we also need to include a LICENSE file upon distribution of our software?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

When talking about selling, and possibility reselling, you don't want your programmers writing your licensing.

Hire a lawyer.
