Free software

XSharp is FREE Software. Of course that does not mean that you can do with it whatever you want. We have set a couple of rules that determine what you can and cannot do with our software, so our software is released under a license.

We are convinced that you will find our license agreements fair and easy to work with.

If you have any questions about the licenses, please contact us at info@xsharp.eu
