<h1>Licensing<a class="headerlink" href="#licensing" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>hg-review is distributed under the same license as Mercurial itself: <a class="reference external" href="http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-review/src/tip/LICENSE">GPL
version 2 or any later version</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to create a program that works with hg-review you should look at
<a class="reference external" href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/License">Mercurial&#8217;s License FAQ page</a> to
learn about how this might affect you.</p>
<p>The basic idea is:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>If you review code with hg-review, you are not affected by the license.</li>
<li>If you bundle hg-review with another application and don&#8217;t change anything,
you are not affected by the license.</li>
<li>If you create an application that interacts with hg-review solely through its
command line interface or web interface, you are not affected by the license.</li>
<li>If you create an application that interactes with hg-review by calling its
internal Python API, you <em>are</em> affected by the license and will need to
license your application&#8217;s code as GPL version 2 or later.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the last item (using hg-review&#8217;s internal Python API) is probably the
one you <em>won&#8217;t</em> want to do anyway, since the Python API is <em>not</em> stable.</p>
<p>If you have any questions please <a class="reference external" href="mailto:steve&#37;&#52;&#48;stevelosh&#46;com">email Steve</a>,
but remember that he&#8217;s not a lawyer and might not have a fast answer for tricky
questions.</p>
