Dans Guardian is free as in freedom and beer - it's under the GPL v.
2. However, he has an interesting twist, in that he says that
commercial users may download the software ONCE from his website to
try it, but they may not repeatedly download it from there, to get
updates etc. without paying him for commercial support. It's an
interesting approach.
However, he also says under "DansGuardian 2 - re-licensing"
As the copyright holder, I am entitled to release DansGuardian 2
under any licence that I choose. I have chosen to release
DansGuardian 2 to most people under the GPL version 2.
All fine and dandy, but once he licenses it to anybody under the GPL
v2, those people can then give a copy of it to whomever they choose
under the terms of the license, so it's a touch odd.
