# Commercial license
|
||
|
||
This project is **dual-licensed**: [GNU AGPL-3.0](LICENSE) is the default track, and the commercial track described here is an alternative to it. The two are **parallel choices** — buying the commercial track is not a requirement imposed on anyone using the AGPL track.
|
||
|
||
## Which track applies
|
||
|
||
| Your use | Track |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Personal use, study, research, evaluation | 1 — AGPL-3.0 |
|
||
| Internal deployment of an unmodified build | 1 — AGPL-3.0 |
|
||
| Modified build, deployed or distributed with its source disclosed | 1 — AGPL-3.0 |
|
||
| Closed-source hosted service offered to others | 2 — commercial |
|
||
| Embedded in a proprietary product that you ship | 2 — commercial |
|
||
|
||
Commercial use itself is allowed under **both** tracks. What distinguishes them is the source-disclosure obligation: AGPL-3.0 §13 requires that users of your modified build — including users of a network service — receive the corresponding source.
|
||
|
||
## What the commercial track provides
|
||
|
||
- The same rights AGPL-3.0 grants you, **without** the §13 source-disclosure obligation.
|
||
- Scope, term, deployment model and fee are set in the agreement both sides sign. **This document is an invitation to negotiate; it is not itself a license grant.**
|
||
|
||
## How to obtain one
|
||
|
||
Write to **[email protected]** stating the intended use, the deployment model and the expected scale.
