cpak moves to LGPLv2.1
cpak v2.3.1 is now licensed under LGPL-2.1-only. The runtime stays free software, changes to cpak remain public and applications distributed through it keep their own licenses.
The LGPL keeps cpak and changes made to its runtime open, while allowing distributions, products and desktop applications to use it under their own license terms.
LGPL-2.1-only applies to the cpak source and binaries. OCI images, package manifests and software installed through the Store continue to use the licenses chosen by their own publishers. Packaging an application with cpak does not change that application's license.
cpak v2.3.1 is the first release published under LGPL-2.1-only. New development and future contributions will follow the same license.
