The PolarSSL library is distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL). This is a copyleft licensing model. The Open Source License is meant for:

• Integrating PolarSSL in other Open Source projects
• Personal and educational use of PolarSSL
• Integration of PolarSSL in commercial software, while adhering to the Open Source license terms and choosing not to support PolarSSL

If you have a project that conforms to the above examples, but you cannot use the library under its current license for some reason, please check out the FOSS License Exception. This License Exceptions allows use under specific terms and conditions.

If you see any other issues, please use the Contact page to describe your problem. There might be a solution to your problem.

In some cases the Open Source License is not an option. This often is the case when companies develop software and products that integrate PolarSSL. Therefore a non-copyleft Commercial License is available that gives complete freedom when integrating PolarSSL into products.

The PolarSSL Commercial License offers the following advantages:

• Modifications to the code do not have to be released under the GPL and can thus be integrated in a closed source project
• No source codes, copyright notices and licenses for PolarSSL have to be distributed with your product
