Re: [Dhis2-devs] Confusing Use license on dhis2 website

 

Agree this is a bit confusing.  I am assuming you read this here:
http://hisp.org/html/policies.htm#terms

This is actually the HISP South Africa web site and it looks like these are
conditions which they are applying to the dhis 1.4 software.  Given that
they now also support v2 they should really update this.  I think it
reflects some previous reality.

It has no effect on the dhis2 software which you download from dhis2.org.
