Ghost script licence

Question

As a developer for a website of my client, I want to use Ghostscript sharp to generate image from PDF for a particular functionality. Can anyone tell me if it require to purchase licence to use Ghostscript? Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

It depends essentially on how you use Ghostscript.

Ghostscript is licensed under the Affero General Public Licence v3. If, after reading that licence, you are in doubt as to whether your usage means you need a commercial licence, then I suggest that you should seek professional legal advice.

A site for answering software development questions is not a good place to ask about legal niceties really, and its very off-topic here.

Answer 2

No, you can't use Ghostscript for free but you can reference your client to download Ghostscript and install it on their system and now you can use on can say your s/w can legally use it
