Licensing

Waydroid is available under different licensing options designed to accommodate the needs of our various users:

  • Waydroid licensed under commercial licenses is appropriate for development of proprietary/commercial software where you do not want to share any source code with third parties or otherwise cannot comply with the terms of the GNU GPL version 3.
  • Waydroid licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 is appropriate for the development of Waydroid applications provided you can comply with the terms and conditions of the GNU GPL version 3.

Waydroid also contains third-party code that is licensed under specific open-source licenses from the original authors (See Third-Party Code in Waydroid below).

Note: For open-source licensed Waydroid, some specific parts are available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). For commercial licensees, all Waydroid related changes are available under commercial Waydroid licenses.
