Most of Transmission is covered by the MIT license.
Some files are copyrighted by Charles Kerr and are covered by
the GPL version 2. Works owned by the Transmission project
are granted a special exemption to clause 2(b) so that the bulk
of its code can remain under the MIT license. This exemption does
not extend to original or derived works not owned by the
Transmission project.
The remainder of this text pertains only to the MIT-licensed
portions of Transmission.
Copyright 2005-2009. All code is copyrighted by the respective authors.
The OS X client, CLI client, and parts of libtransmission are licensed
under the terms of the MIT license.
The Transmission daemon, GTK+ client, Qt client, Web client, and most of
libtransmission are licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2,
with two special exceptions:
1. The MIT-licensed portions of Transmission listed above are exempt
from GPLv2 clause 2(b) and may retain their MIT license.
2. Permission is granted to link the code in this release with the
OpenSSL project's 'OpenSSL' library and to distribute the linked
executables. Works derived from Transmission may, at their authors'
discretion, keep or delete this exception.
