Think, for example, about something like Linux, which you are likely also using. You are free to use Linux to make money.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is surprising that you are not familiar with the GPL (GNU General Public Licence), since it is all but ubiquitous and probably the most popular open-source licence out there. I would take the time to research it, get familiar with its basic premises, and, of course, consult a lawyer if you have any truly esoteric questions.</p>
