Hancom
Hancom Inc. (KOSDAQ: 030520) is an office suite software developer in South Korea. Established in 1990, the company created Hangul, a native word processing program for the Korean language. The name comes from Korea's native writing system, hangul.
In May 2017 Hancom lost a lawsuit in US Federal Court for violating the GNU GPL license as a consequence of using the source code of PostScript and PDF interpreter Ghostscript. Ghostscript is dual licensed under both the Affero GPL License, or a commercial license. Under the Affero GPL terms, Hancom would be required to open source their code. Alternatively, they could have purchased a license.
On May 27, 2020, Hancom Group announced the unveiling of the latest version of Hancom Office.
