License question to use some codes of Zotero

helend · June 15, 2011

Hi,

I am trying to develop a plugin to Trac to show a local Zotero database. Some SQL codes of Zotero had been used in my plugin ( mainly function getFirstCreatorSQL in zotero/content/zotero/xpcom/data/items.js).

I am a newbie in the open source field. Could I use this function if I want to release my plugin under BSD license? Do I need to add Zotero 'LICENSE BLOCK' into my codes?

Thank you.

Helend

Since Zotero is licensed under the Affero General Public License, you will need to release your code under the same terms. For more details on the AGPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html
