Open Source Licenses

CKEditor is distributed under the GPL, LGPL and MPL open source licenses. This triple copyleft licensing model avoids incompatibility with other open source licenses. These Open Source licenses are specially indicated for:

Integrating CKEditor into Open Source software;
Personal and educational use of CKEditor;
Integrating CKEditor in commercial software, taking care of satisfying the Open Source licenses terms, while not able or interested on supporting CKEditor and its development.

Commercial License - CKSource Closed Distribution License - CDL

For many companies and products, Open Source licenses are not an option. This is why the CKSource Closed Distribution License (CDL) has been introduced. It is a non-copyleft license which gives companies complete freedom when integrating CKEditor into their products and web sites.

This license offers a very flexible way to integrate CKEditor in your commercial application. These are the main advantages it offers over an Open Source license:

Modifications and enhancements doesn't need to be released under an Open Source license;
There is no need to distribute any Open Source license terms alongside with your product and no reference to it have to be done;
No references to CKEditor have to be done in any file distributed with your product;
The source code of CKEditor doesn’t have to be distributed alongside with your product;
You can remove any file from CKEditor when integrating it with your product.

The CDL is a lifetime license valid for all releases of CKEditor published during and before the year following its purchase. It's valid for FCKeditor releases also. It includes 1 year of personal e-mail support.
