The Lesser General Public License (LGPL) provides the same level of terms as the AGPL and GPL copyleft open source licenses, including preserving copyright and license notifications.

The AGPL license closes this loophole by including a remote network interaction clause that triggers the GPL license for any software used over a network. Because the GPL license is only triggered when software is distributed, there is a loophole for software that is made available over the network only, i.e., not explicitly “distributed”. The Affero GPL (AGPL) only adds only one clause, but an important one for some software.This restriction makes the GPL a strong copyleft license.

So if you use GPL code in your software (e.g., by using a GPL library), and distribute your application, all your source code must be made available under the same GPL license. Any software that uses GPL code must distribute all its source code under the same license.

The most popular copyleft open source licenses, in order of restrictiveness, are AGPL, GPL, LGPL, EPL, and Mozilla: This article describes the different types of open source licenses and how they all seek to protect both the authors and users of the software by controlling the misuse and unauthorized use of open source code. You should also be aware of the other risks associated with using open source software. Hence it is important to remain compliant with the open source software licenses terms. But just as with proprietary software licensing, open source software is subject to various legal terms and restrictions, depending on the type of open source license in force. In contrast to proprietary software where vendors typically make it impossible to access, copy or modify the source code, open source code permits the use, reuse, sharing, modification, and distribution of the code in other programs or applications. The truth is that, for the most part, open-source software is covered by one of several types of open source licenses and is not necessarily free of charge either. This misunderstanding may arise from confusing open source with public domain or shareware, both of which are free to use and modify without specific permissions or licensing. Many software buyers – even new developers – misunderstand the term “open source” to mean the software is available to use, copy, modify, and distribute as desired.
