13<b>ProGuard</b> is free. You can use it freely for processing your
14applications, commercial or not. Your code obviously remains yours after
15having been processed, and its license can remain the same.

18<b>ProGuard</b> itself is copyrighted, but its distribution license provides
19you with some rights for modifying and redistributing its code and its
20documentation. More specifically, <b>ProGuard</b> is distributed under the

222, as published by the <a href="http://www.fsf.org/" target="other">Free
23Software Foundation</a> (FSF). In short, this means that you may freely
24redistribute the program, modified or as is, on the condition that you make
25the complete source code available as well. If you develop a program that is
26linked with
27<b>ProGuard</b>, the program as a whole has to be distributed at no charge
28under the GPL. I am granting a <a href="GPL_exception.html">special
29exception</a> to the latter clause (in wording suggested by
30the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs"
31target="other">FSF</a>), for combinations with the following stand-alone
32applications: Apache Ant, Apache Maven, the Eclipse ProGuardDT GUI, the

34and the Javaground Tools.
