Licensing Policy

The Nette Framework is distributed as free software for anyone to use. You can choose whether you are more comfortable with the New BSD or the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or 3.

The BSD license is recommended for most projects because it is easy to understand and places almost no restrictions on what you can do with the framework. You can use Nette in commercial projects as well. However, if the GPL is a better fit for your project, choose it. You don't need to tell anyone how you made your decision. Always keep the original copyright.

You should know that the name “Nette Framework” is a protected trademark and its use has certain restrictions. So do not use “Nette” in your project or top-level domain name, rather choose a name that stands on its own merits. If your project is a good one, it won't take long for it to establish its reputation.

If you are happy with the Nette Framework, and we believe you are, you can support it with a donate. Thank you.
