The LPL, an Open Source License

The L PUBLIC LICENSE (LPL) version 1.0

is a version of the
THE Q PUBLIC LICENSE version 1.0
Copyright (C) 1999 Troll Tech AS, Norway.

Included below is version 1.0 of the license used for version 1.0 of the T.REX Free Edition. The license is called the F Public License (or "LPL"), and qualifies as an Open Source license. It is thus appropriate for people wishing to write software under the Open Source model where all source code to the software is made available to all users and can be freely modified and redistributed. This license is a copy of the QPL license (http://www.troll.no/qpl/) with a name change to reflect a different product and a different legal venue (The State of Texas).

The LPL is for the T.REX Free Edition and prohibits development of proprietary software. The T.REX firewall Professional Edition product is available for proprietary development.

As with the QPL, you may change the legal venue underwhich the license will operate.
Any other changes will require you to change the name of the license. This is why
we changed the QPL to LPL.

To develop software with the T.REX Free Edition, simply meet the requirements in the LPL. Your software can be licensed by any license that permits the requirements in section 6.
