What do the Terms of This License Mean? ?

Question

I am going to use the Flowplayer http://flowplayer.org/ on my website. But I do not understand the terms of the free GPL License. Will someone please explain it?

Answer 1

The shortest explanation of GPL I can give is that you can use it freely, but you cannot claim it as your own, you need to give credit, and you need to provide access to the source code.

In this case, the FlowPlayer web site is clear: "you must make your JavaScript that integrates with Flowplayer available under the GPL, and also make the source code of Flowplayer available for download in your site. A link to this page is enough."

You cannot mess with it, such as removing the logo.

So, if you take it, as is, give a link on your page, you'll be fine.
