Licensing ========= hg-review is distributed under the same license as Mercurial itself: `GPL version 2 or any later version `_. If you want to create a program that works with hg-review you should look at `Mercurial's License FAQ page `_ to learn about how this might affect you. The basic idea is: * If you review code with hg-review, you are not affected by the license. * If you bundle hg-review with another application and don't change anything, you are not affected by the license. * If you create an application that interacts with hg-review solely through its command line interface or web interface, you are not affected by the license. * If you create an application that interactes with hg-review by calling its internal Python API, you *are* affected by the license and will need to license your application's code as GPL version 2 or later. Note that the last item (using hg-review's internal Python API) is probably the one you *won't* want to do anyway, since the Python API is *not* stable. If you have any questions please `email Steve `_, but remember that he's not a lawyer and might not have a fast answer for tricky questions.
