## Licence
Per [the COPYING file]source:COPYING, Tahoe is offered under the GNU General Public License (v2 or later), with the
added permission that, if you become obligated to release a derived work
under this licence (as per section 2.b), you may delay the fulfillment of
this obligation for up to 12 months. If you are obligated to release code
under section 2.b of this licence, such code must be released under these
same terms including the 12-month grace period clause.
Per [the about page]source:docs/about.html, Tahoe is offered under your choice of the GNU General Public License (v2 or later) or the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence. The Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, like the GNU General Public License, requires you to open source any derivative works, but unlike the GPL, it allows you to delay the open-sourcing of a derivative works by up to twelve month from the time that you distribute it.
