Hi Sonnenuhr,
簡要回覆您的問題如下，
- USB Protector是以GPL-3.0授權的自由開源軟體，可以於企業內部合法使用，不過如果要再散布它、就必須主動的提供後手該程式的程式源碼。
- Openfire與Spark都是以Apache-2.0授權的自由開源軟體，可以於企業內部合法使用，不過它的授權聲明裡特別表達程式裡的圖標與logo並不是Apache-2.0的授權範圍，其為Jive Software及INCORS GmbH所有，並採近似免費軟體(freeware)的授權方式釋出，原則上這些圖標與logo可以被Openfire與Spark程式的使用者所合法使用，但是並不允許被抽離出來另行利用、或是另行改作。
- 此外、Openfire與Spark所利用到的Java JRE並非自由開源軟體元件，其性質較屬於一般的免費軟體(freeware)與共享軟體(shareware)，其雖然亦容許被置於企業內部合法使用，但不得修改。更細部的說明，可以參照右列討論串的內容：http://www.openfoundry.org/tw/forum?func=view&catid=8&id=550#556
那麼、再將幾個重要的佐證資訊表列如下：
- 關於USB Protector
- 該專案的主要開發者Ant，是之前亦服務於OSSF的合作夥伴，其對於自由開源軟體的開發很有理念與想法，個人profile可以參照右列連結頁面：http://www.openfoundry.org/community/userprofile/ant
- 關於Openfire與Spark：
- 下載Openfire後，其授權說明頁面在檔案目錄下的路徑為：openfire/README.html，說明其為Apache-2.0授權的自由開源元件；下載spark後，其授權說明頁面在檔案目錄下的路徑為：Spark/documentation/README.html，說明其為Apache-2.0授權的自由開源元件。
- 注意README.html亦同時說明其額外的logo授權方式如下，原則上就是這些圖標被容許隨著Openfire與Spark來被利用，但不得被另行抽離程式並進行編輯改作。
希望上述這些資訊對您有所幫助！如後續還有其他問題歡迎接續討論。
