hi,
what is the license of Repetier-Host?
It is an opensource kind?

Repetier

No it is closed source. But we distribute it without any cost and you can extend it with plugins.

the re-distribution by someone other than you is permitted without your permission?
So for example can be included in a Linux distribution repository?

Can be used for any kind of scope, not only for personal use, so can be used in a commercial environment?

Repetier

Yes, you can include the original packages we offer with your printer or on your website. If you want/need a customized version then you need to book that at out homepage. This is how we finance the development.
