Licensing questions

Post by glaucioklipel » Sat Jul 18, 2015 7:32 pm

Hello!

I am a little bit confused on OpenVPN license. Well, I'd read about OpenVPN Server Access licensing per client but I still have some questions and scratching my head...

OpenVPN package installable through apt-get on Debian is free to use, correct? If I want to use the OpenVPN GUI to access a "mode server" install on Debian, downloadable at download session on "Community Downloads" > "OpenVPN 2.3.7 -- released on 2015.06.08" will I have to pay any kind of license?

As far as I know, I will only have to pay a per-client license if I'm using OpenVPN Server Access, correct?

If so, can anybody use OpenVPN installable through apt-get to build a server, on Debian or Ubuntu, use the GUI client to access it and do not need to pay for license?

Confused, sorry... Just want to know in which cases will the consumer has to pay to use or redistribute OpenVPN and OpenVPN GUI.
