Hello,

Anyone knows what is the correct license to be considered for Cobalt lib in case of source code modification?

- https://cobalt.googlesource.com/cobalt/+/refs/tags/20.lts.3/src/LICENSE

- https://cobalt.googlesource.com/cobalt/+/refs/tags/20.lts.3/src/cobalt/LICENSE

 

Thanks,

Anderson

Hi,

Cobalt is licensed under Apache 2.0 license, so your second link is what applies to Cobalt code.
However, Cobalt uses significant components of Google Chromium project libraries which is what the first link applies to.
Cobalt uses various third party libraries as well that have their respective open source licenses.

All individual Cobalt source files have the Apache 2.0 license in header, and Chromium files have the Chromium BSD-style license header.

Best regards,
Kaido
