The RealNetworks Public Source License (RPSL) is a software licence. It has been approved as a free software licence by both Free Software Foundation[1] and Open Source Initiative[2] (OSI), but it is incompatible with the GPL[1] and the Debian Free Software Guidelines.[3]

The RPSL is used by the Helix project.
