pm4py is a software product, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute
for Applied Information Technology (FIT).
In particular, pm4py is developed by the process mining
group of Fraunhofer FIT.
The core of pm4py is developed on a private server maintained by Fraunhofer FIT.
A public copy of this code is made available on GitHub under the GPL-License.
Note that, this implies that any derivative work of pm4py, i.e., on the basis of the
publicly available source code, also needs to be licensed under GPL.
Hence, any derivative work, should be made available.
In case you are interested to use pm4py, yet, in a closed-source manner, this is
possible, i.e.,
we are able to share pm4py (the core) under a different license.

definition GPL-licensed, and therefore, only available on the public release of the
source code, i.e., these contributions are not part of the core.
