Licensing Policy for GPL'd MiniGUI versions
# Licensing Policy for GPL'd MiniGUI versions

## In Brief
This is our licensing policy in brief: Our software is 100% GPL,
and if yours is also 100% GPL, then you never have to pay us
for the licences. In all other instances, you are better served
by our commercial licence. Read the details below!
