You may use E2B and any included utilities or any helper utilities from this site at your own risk. I can accept no liability for any loss of data or other damage which may arise through use or misuse of any part of E2B or it's associated utilities.

 

Easy2Boot mainly consists of grub4dos, grub4dos utilities and grub4dos scripts and these can be freely used by anyone (freeware).

As E2B uses grub4dos scripts (.lst, .cfg, .g4b), it is 'open source' because these files are the 'source' files as are the various .cmd Windows scripts in E2B.

A few Windows executables (Make_E2B.exe, E2B_editor.exe and Switch_E2B.exe are not open source and are my intellectual property).

 

Private home users, public or private schools, Universities, businesses, technicians within any company (even if a one-man+dog company or a company with 1000's of employees) are free to use E2B - just please don't sell E2B or re-distribute it publicly! 

 

If you wish to use my E2B grub4dos scripts commercially however (i.e. sell it as part of your own product), a donation would be much appreciated!

If you wish to use most of the entire 'E2B solution' in your own commercial product(s) (i.e. sell it or include it in your own product), you should contact me for legal permission or to purchase a licence. You should not sell ready-made E2B USB drives (e.g. on eBay) without contacting me first for permission or a licence.

 

The E2B downloads also contain small third-party Windows programs which may not be free to use commercially and it is up to you to obtain permission for all .exe programs within the E2B download that you may use (see list below). The author of WinContig.exe states it is free for commercial use. 

 

The Easy2Boot download also contains RMPartUSB (used to format a USB drive only) which is freeware and cannot be sold or re-distributed (see below) - however it is only used to partition a USB drive and other utilties can be used to format a USB drive and install grub4dos (e.g. BootIce or FBInst).

 

The MPI Tool Kit also contains some 3rd-party utilities which AFAIK are free to use and distribute (but not open source).

 

Some of the E2B Windows utilities that I have written (e.g. SWITCH_E2B, E2B_Editor, TXT_Maker, XMLtoE2B) are not open source but can be freely used or distributed (but not sold). XMLtoE2B requires a licence file which contains the user's name and your email address - your personal licence.bin file should not be distributed with XMLtoE2B.

 

 

RMPrepUSB and RMPartUSB are not open-source.

 

These two programs are free for public use, but should not be used within a commercial product or redistributed or made available for download, either as a standalone download or as part of a package, without permission.

 

Note that the MPI Tool Kit contains RMPartUSB.exe and so will any .imgPTN images made using it (though you can remove it).

 

See http://www.rmprepusb.com/home/licensing  for how to apply for the commercial licensing for RMPartUSB and RMPrepUSB.
