Licenses
The core and 18 plugins are free and open-source. No strings attached. They are under a modified MIT license called the Freedom license. No restrictions, no money.
Development of this project is funded by people purchasing Pro ($99) and Enterprise ($250) licenses to the 3 paid plugin bundles. Both Pro and Enterprise licenses are as MIT-like as possible, allowing redistribution, modification, and sub-licensing.
Easy rules
- If it is in the ImageResizer.Plugins.Basic namespace, it is under the Freedom license.
- All sample source code is under the Freedom license.
- If it is part of ImageResizer.dll or ImageResizer.Mvc.dll, then it's under the Freedom license.
- If the dll is named ImageResizer.Plugins.something.dll, it's probably a paid plugin.
- Except for ImageResizer.Plugins.Logging.dll, which is also under the Freedom license.
- Except for ImageResizer.Plugins.PdfRenderer, which is under the GPL v3 due to its use of Ghostscript.

I have written every license to provide maximum freedom, minimum restrictions, and maximum simplicity. 99% of use cases should be covered, I hope.
If for some reason the above licenses do not meet your needs, I am willing to provide even less restrictive licenses on a case-by-case basis. E-mail support@imageresizing.net for details.
