Problem

Software license is a legal instrument that governs the use and distribution of software source code and its binary representation. Software publishers have the freedom to choose any commonly used or purposefully written license to publish their work under. While some licenses are liberal and allow almost any kind of distribution, with or without code modification, other licenses are more restrictive and impose rules for their inclusion in other software projects. Some software licenses place restrictions on commercial use of the code they apply to. The most restrictive licenses in this category may completely forbid commercial code use. When building commercial applications, this is typically undesirable. Therefore, the inclusion of any code that may impose limits on commercial use is commonly avoided or even prohibited by the organization policy.
