Hi Nilanjan,

BaseX is using the BSD license, which allows almost anything. You can find the surprisingly short license in license.txt. Basically you can do anything except removing the copyright notice and the list of contributors.

As for all legal advice: IANAL (I am not a lawyer). If you want to know it for sure, you will have to ask a lawyer.

Cheers,
Dirk
