This project is released under GPL version 3.0

What does this mean?

It means you can use the source code in any way you see fit. However, the source code for any changes you make must be made available to others and must be made available on the same terms as you receive the source code in this project: under a GPL v3.0 license. You must include the license of this project with any distribution of the source code whether the distribution includes all the source code or just part of it. For example, if you create a class that derives from one of the classes provided by this project - a new taxonomy class, perhaps - that is derivative.

What does this not mean?

It does not mean that any products you create that only use this source code must be released under GPL v3.0. If you create a budgeting application that uses the source code from this project to access data in instance documents, used by the budgeting application to transfer data, that is not derivative.

###Contribution license assignment

If you choose to contribute, we will welcome your input. If you do choose to contribute we will ask you to agree to our Contributor License Agreement (CLA). We will ask you to agree to the terms in the CLA to assure other users that the code they use is not going to be encumbered by a labyrinth of different license and patent liabilities.
