Beerware is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek term for software released under a very relaxed license (beerware licensed software). It provides the end user with the right to use a particular program (or do anything else with the source code).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31717/what-do-the-phrases-free-speech-vs.-free-beer-really-mean/ )〕 ==Description== Should the user of the product meet the author and consider the software useful, they are encouraged to either buy the author a beer "in return" or drink one themselves. The Fedora project and Humanitarian-FOSS project at Trinity College recognized the ''"version 42"'' beerware license variant as extremely permissive "Copyright only" license, and consider it as GPL compatible.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Licensing/Beerware )〕 the Free Software Foundation does not list this license as GPL compatible. Many variations on the beerware model have been created. Poul-Henning Kamp's beerware license is simple and short, in contrast to the GPL, which he has described as a "joke".〔(I think the GNU license is a joke, it fights the capitalism it so much is against with their own tools, and no company is ever going to risk any kind of proximity to so many so vague statements assembled in a license. )〕 The full text of Kamp's license is:〔 〕 / * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42): * * can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think * this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return. Poul-Henning Kamp * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beerware」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
