§The GPL.

Pivot is created and © by Bob den Otter. (mostly, that is. See here for exceptions..)

Pivot is released under the GPL version 2. You can read the full license. In short it means something like this:

Pivot is free (as in beer speech). You can use Pivot for free. You can also use the code we wrote and turn it into something else, but you have to make the derivatives of this program available for free as well. (like we used some parts of free code, and now I am giving it back to the community). Also, if you do something cool with it, please send me an email to let me know. You can also participate in Pivot, to make it a better program for everybody. I have tons of ideas to make it better, and only a limited amount of time. So, if you want to help, you are most welcome to contact me.

Using Pivot

If you run a website using Pivot, we would really appreciate a link to the Pivot site somewhere. A graphical banner will be greatly appreciated(preferably with the [[pivotbutton]] tag. If these banners clash with your design, a textual link will be fine too. By including such a banner, we will know people are using the software, and you will help making pivot more widely recognized.
