---------------
The ZPL is different than another popular open source license, the
"GNU Public License":http://www.gnu.org . The licensing terms of
the GPL require that if you intend to redistribute a GPL-licensed
application, and you modify or extend the application in a
meaningful way, that you contribute your modifications back to the
licensor. This is not required for ZPL-licensed applications,
however. You may modify and restribute Zope without contributing
your modifications back to Zope Corporation as long as you follow
the other terms of the license faithfully.

Correction: the GPL does not require that you "contribute your modifications back to the licensor" - rather,
it requires tht, if you distribute a work derived from a GPL-licensed work, you must distribute the derived
source code along with it. For more information, see:
