This section explains Sencha Touch available Licence options and installation process. Sencha Touch is available with both opensource and commercial software licence.
Sencha Touch Licence
Sencha Touch is licensed under free commercial and open source licenses for application development, and a paid commercial license for OEM uses.
Commercial Software License
This is the appropriate option if you are creating proprietary applications and you are not prepared to distribute and share the source code of your application under the GPL. This is now available at no charge to developers.
Open Source License
Sencha is an avid supporter of open source software. This is the appropriate option if you are creating an open source application with a license compatible with the GNU GPL license v3. Although the GPLv3 has many terms, the most important is that you must provide the source code of your application to your users so they can be free to modify your application for their own needs.
