Now, let’s talk about Solidity’s license.

Solidity is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3.0.

What does that mean?

In simple terms:

Solidity is open source, so anyone can view and modify its code.

This ensures that developers can freely improve Solidity without needing anyone’s permission.

It also means you can trust the code—no sneaky tricks or hidden backdoors.

Here’s a fun fact:

Under the GPL v3.0, any modifications to Solidity’s code must also stay open and available for public use.

So, when you download Solidity (including any updates), you’re getting all improvements too!
