WinMerge is licensed under GPL2.

It's perfectly fine to use WinMerge as a tool for commercial development projects.

However, please note the following:

• If you incorporate a modified version of WinMerge into a commercial product, you must release the source code of that modified version under the GPL2 license.

• If you link WinMerge's source code to a commercial product, the source code of the linked commercial product must also be released under the GPL2 license.
