Copyleft Clause Samples

The Copyleft clause is a licensing provision that requires derivative works of a software or creative work to be distributed under the same license terms as the original. In practice, this means that if someone modifies or builds upon the original work, they must also make their modifications available under the same open-source license, ensuring that the freedoms to use, modify, and share are preserved. This clause is commonly found in licenses like the GNU General Public License (GPL) and is designed to prevent proprietary restrictions from being imposed on derivative works, thereby maintaining the openness and collaborative nature of the original project.
