TL;DR

  • Webcpp 0.8.4 and older Copyright (C)2001 - 2004 Jeffrey Bakker under the GNU GPL
  • Webcpp 0.9.0 and newer Copyright (C)2026 Jeffrey Bakker under the MIT License

License Update Notice

As the sole author and copyright holder of webcpp, I, Jeffrey Bakker, am re-releasing the software under the MIT License starting with version 0.9.0.

What this means: 

  • New Versions: All releases from this point forward are available under the MIT License.
  • Previous Versions: Versions released over the last 25 years (up to 0.8.4) remain available under the GPL as originally published.
  • Contributions: I have verified that all code in this release was authored by me, allowing for this change in licensing. Language contributions were submitted via online form, in which a Perl script I authored (genlang.cgi), generated the C++ code which I then integrated by hand. See CREDITS file for acknowledgement.

Purpose

I’ve chosen this change to give the community more flexibility in how they use and integrate this project.
