+
+# What license is the code distributed under?
+
+The Nagios Plugins code is currently distributed using the [GNU General Public
+License, Version 3][gpl] (GPLv3).
+
+This is because some C code that we depend upon, from the [Gnulib][gnulib]
+project, is distributed under the GPLv3; and therefore, some of our plugins
+also need to be GPLv3 licensed.  The team has decided, rather than having a
+mixed license, we'll distribute all of the core Nagios Plugins code under the
+GPLv3.
+
+[gpl]: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html "GPLv3"
+[gnulib]: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/ "Gnulib"
