The Common Public Attribution License ("CPAL") is a free software license approved by the Open Source Initiative in 2007.[1] Its purpose is to be a general license for software distributed over a network. It is based on the Mozilla Public License, but it adds a controversial attribution term paraphrased below:
[…] the Original Developer may include […] a requirement that each time an Executable and Source Code or a Larger Work is launched or initially run […] a prominent display of the Original Developer's Attribution Information […] must occur on the graphic user interface employed by the end user to access such Covered Code […]
