Meteobridge License
<languages /><translate>
Meteobridge needs your OK to the license agreement before you are able to reach the other configuration pages. I guess you will not find something surprising in the license agreement, but please do read it before you accept by setting your mark.
How to License?
When you purchase an already licensed Meteobridge, you will just see a small license section which displays the license code. Otherwise, you will be offered two ways to move your meteobridge from a 14 day tryout version to a fully licensed version. License payment is fully integrated in Meteobridge, you can purchase a license with just a few clicks. Click onto the payment button which will will start a workflow where you receive a license key at the end. Insert this key into the corresponding field on "License" tab, press "Register" and restart the Meteobridge.
When licensing has been done successfully register and payment options disappear. When you run into problems during licensing process, please contact "license(at)meteobridge.com".
License Agreement
Below you find the complete license text in an easier to read way (no scrolling). As meteobridge consists of separate parts, terms of usage have to reflect this. Most interesting question might be what part is Open Source (OpenWrt, under GPL) and what is propriatory owned and copyrighted by smartbedded UG. All propriatory parts are in strict compliance to Open Source license models. Dynamic and static linking is restricted to Linux libraries under LGPL. No GPL code is linked by or included into meteobridge application software stack. How to get access to the Open Source part of a meteoplug system (including information about a toolchain and the configuration files) is explained in section "Open Source Obligations" available from the menu on the left.
