Hi,
the terms of use page was intended solely for the web site content on
dhis2.org and not the DHIS 2 software.
I can see it being confusing and I think its a good idea to put a

that you could change those terms to apply to the non-software materials on
the website, if that is really your

Hi,
We've always used the so called "Lesser GPL" license for 1.x version of the
DHIS - this also allows any type of derivate software (including commercial
ones) AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE REMAIN FOSS AND THE ORIGINAL
SOFTWARE IS PACKAGED WITH THE LICENSE.

and use it for any purposes (commercial or non-commercial) given that the
BSD copyright text are retained.
