The Netscape Public License (NPL) is a free software license, the license under which Netscape Communications Corporation originally released Mozilla. Its most notable feature is that it gives the original developer of Mozilla (Netscape, now a subsidiary of AOL), the right to distribute modifications made by other contributors under whatever terms it desires, including proprietary terms, without granting similar rights to these other contributors in respect to contributions made by the original developer. This allowed the release of the Netscape 6 and later versions as proprietary software.

  • Netscape Public License je licence pro svobodný software, pod kterou Netscape Communications Corporation původně vydala Mozillu. Důležitou vlastností této licence bylo, že dávala vývojářům Mozilly možnost kombinovat kód s nesvobodným software, který nemusel být šířen pod NPL. To bylo i zdrojem sporů s některými zastánci svobodného software, kteří tvrdili, že licence odporuje filozofii svobodného software. Tato licence byla později v projektu nahrazena licencí Mozilla Public License (zkráceně MPL). Ta je v současné době jednou ze tří licencí, pod kterou jsou šířeny zdrojové kódy Firefoxu či Thunderbirdu. Ty jsou šířeny pod tzv. trojlicencí MPL/GPL/LGPL. (cs)

Its most notable feature is that it gives the original developer of Mozilla (Netscape, now a subsidiary of AOL), the right to distribute modifications made by other contributors under whatever terms it desires, including proprietary terms, without granting similar rights to these other contributors in respect to contributions made by the original developer. This allowed the release of the Netscape 6 and later versions as proprietary software. This asymmetry with respect to rights has led to criticism of the license by many members of the open source and free software movements: the Free Software Foundation acknowledged it as a free-software license but one to be avoided, and the Open Source Initiative either rejected it entirely or was not asked to review it. The FSF adds that it's not possible to combine software obtained under the license with software obtained under the GPL. The Mozilla Public License version 1.1 is similar (and has limited "file-level copyleft"), but lacks the asymmetry in rights. Time Warner, exercising its rights under the Netscape Public License, and at the request of the Mozilla Foundation, relicensed all code in Mozilla that was under the Netscape Public License (including code by other contributors) to an MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 tri-license, thus removing the GPL-incompatibility.

Questa asimmetria rispetto ai diritti dello sviluppatore originario e gli altri contributori ha portato a forti critiche da molti membri dell'open source e del movimento per il free software: la Free Software Foundation riconobbe questa come una licenza software libera ma da essere evitata, e l'Open Source Initiative rifiutata del tutto. La FSF aggiunge che non è possibile mescolare software ottenuto sotto questa licenza con software ottenuto sotto la GPL. La Mozilla Public License è simile, ma non presenta questi diritti asimmetrici. Time Warner, esercitando i suoi diritti sotto la Netscape Public License e sotto richiesta della Mozilla Foundation, ha ri-licenziato tutto il codice su Mozilla che era sotto la Netscape Public License (incluso il codice di altri contributori) in una tripla licenza MPL/GPL/LGPL, in modo da rimuovere l'incompatibilità con la GPL.
