jan 1, 1992 - The Linux kernel was relicensed under the GNU GPL

Description:

The Linux kernel was relicensed under the GNU GPL with the v0.12 release. The initial license forbade commercial use. After the change the distribution and sale of possibly modified and unmodified versions of Linux became possible, provided that all those copies be released under the same license and be accompanied by the complete corresponding source code.
