MistServer is dedicated to the public domain (through the Unlicense license). This means anyone can use MistServer for any purpose - including commercial purposes - without any restrictions.

To allow use in jurisdictions where public domain dedications are not recognized, you may instead opt to distribute MistServer under the Zero-Clause BSD license.

However, note that while MistServer itself is public domain software, some of its dependencies are not:

  • mbedtls is used for HTTPS/encryption support, and available under the Apache 2.0 license or the GPL 2.0 license.
  • libsrtp2 is used for WebRTC support, and available under a BSD-style license.
  • usrsctp is used for WebRTC datachannel support and available under the BSD-3-Clause license.
  • libsrt is used for SRT support, and available under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
  • librist is used for RIST support, and available under the BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License.
  • The optional (disabled by default) MistInAV links against libav, which is available under the LGPL or GPL licenses.
  • quirc is used by MistProcComposer to scan for QR codes with timing information, and available under the ISC license.

Note that all of these dependencies can be disabled by toggling build flags - but doing so will of course limit the capabilities of the resulting software accordingly.

The MistServer name and logo are not public domain either. You have permission to use the MistServer name and logo to refer to any version of MistServer published by DDVTech B.V., but not to refer to versions that contain changes not published by DDVTech B.V..

We hope you find MistServer useful, and encourage mentioning you use MistServer and/or based your products/services on MistServer wherever you consider it appropriate. This is not required, but appreciated.
