- Licences in this family ask that changed versions of the licensed code itself stay under the same licence, but not the other code it is combined with.
- Copyleft
- Licences in this family ask that works based on the licensed code carry the same licence when they are distributed, and the GPL asks for their source code as well.
- Terms in a file

- offers no permissive licence, in a family that raises the flag
