About the GPL and GFDL licenses

This server’s open-source plugins are licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later. Our documentation and other publications are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.3 or later.

The GPL is designed for programs; it contains lots of complex clauses that are crucical for programs and would be cumbersome and unnecessary for a book or manual. The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—to make sure the software is free for all its users.

The purpose of the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License) is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document “free” in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
