# LICENSES
## CODE LICENSE / BINARY
While Cardinal itself is licensed under GPLv3+, some modules/plugins used by it are not.
And since Cardinal builds the entire Rack and modules as a static library,
the more restrictive of the **code licenses** will apply to the final binary.
Bellow follows a list of all code licenses used in Cardinal and linked submodules.

2021-12-06 12:58:54 +02:00
