While this seems like a simple 'upgrade', it's actually quite difficult (in licensing terms, updating a license is no easier than switching to a totally new one). Today, we are formally announcing our intention to switch to releasing under version 3 of the GPL ( GPLv3).

Since its creation by Werner Schweer back in 2002, MuseScore's source code has been released under a particular open source software license called the GNU General Public License, version 2 ( GPLv2). Don't worry it will remain open source and free for all users! (See Meet the MuseScore Contributors for more details about what I do and how you can contact me if you need to.) In my first post on the forum as your ambassador, the honour falls on me to announce our plan to change the license that the source code for MuseScore's desktop program is released under.

As many of you know, I've been a regular contributor to MuseScore for a long time now, and back in February of this year I was invited to join the internal team in the brand new role of Community Ambassador! It's my job to represent MuseScore to the open source community, and the community (that's you guys!) to MuseScore.

Hi everyone! Just a quick note before main article.
