Hi,

I developed an App for Z-Way, but I have not found any information about the software license of the Z-Way software (https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/home-automation/).

I would publish the app on Github and in the App Store.

Which software license can I choose that compatibility is ensured? Some apps are available under the GNU General Public License (for example: https://github.com/maros/Zway-ConditionSwitch). Is licensing with Apache Software License Version 2.0 also possible?

Thanks!

I did follow Maros Kollar's example and did choose GNU GPL for the apps I contributed, because I think it is less confusing for users.

Would be good if the ZWay developers/owners said something about this, because we are building these apps on top of a substantial bit of their intellectual property...

We were to lazy to publish it (few hears in our TODO). We promize to do it soon. Full Home Automation engine (JS code), Smart Home UI and Expert UI are under GNU GPL v3. We suggest to use same license.

Backend binary code is copyrighted except for libraries distributed under LGPL or BSD.

Thanks PoltoS, I now use GNU GPL v3.
