OpenGUI is released under the BSD license. This means that not only do you get the source code for free, you get the rights to use this code in any way you choose! You can print it off and give it away on the street. You can use it as a component to a new product, and even sell that product and make money, without ever giving the OpenGUI project a dime! Better than that, you can take this code, tear it apart, put it back together, rebrand it under a new name, and then sell it, and still never have to pay the OpenGUI project. You do, however, have to respect the following 30 lines of text:
