Hower, since Asmeta software relies on severel libraries and the elcipse plugin uses Eclipse software, which are free but not GPL compatible, we add an exception (as suggested by the FSF):

In addition, as a special exception, FMLAB @ UNIMI gives permission to link the code of this program with 
the JMI & MDR (all the jar files distributed by the mdr project of netbeans), LOG4J and eclipse libraries, 
and distribute linked combinations including the two, as long as these libraries remain released under a free software 
license according to the FSF.
If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the
file, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you do not wish to
do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

Asmeta is GPL compatible.

Asmeta will be release with an EPL licence soon.

Dual Licensing

If you like to use Asmeta and do not want to use the GPLed version of Asmeta (for example you want to embed Asmeta in a proprietary non free software), contact us: we can provide Asmeta with a non free license according to the dual licensing model.

FAQ on licensing

Can I use ASMETA software to develop non-free ASM specifications?: Yes, because the copyright on the editors and tools included in ASMETA does not cover the code and the specifications you write. Using them does not place any restrictions, legally, on the license you use for your code.
