The OPNsense project wants to be a project that is friendly for users,
|
||
developers and partners. In this world with trademarks and copyright it
|
||
is best to “keep things as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Below
|
||
we pointed out the Licensing and Trademark rules we use.

audience we want to serve. It basically gives you the right to do whatever you

want to do with the code, even fork it and take it from there.
