Konsole was originally written by Lars Doelle.[2] It ls licensed under the GPL v2 or later[3] [4] [5] and the GNU Free Documentation License.[6] Konsole includes many projects which may themselves have their own licences. However konsole itself is protected under the GPL v2[3] [4] [5] or later, and GNU Free Documentation License[6]. This is due to the smaller projects within konsole having compatible licenses.
