29- Complying with the AGPL
30- -----------------------
31-
32- The most prominent condition of our AGPL projects is that you cannot create
33- derivatives that are not AGPL as well. However, this condition applies
34- differently depending on whether you are consuming a library or an application
35- in binary form (i.e. a CLI or a micro-service). In a nutshell:
36-
37- - ** Integrating with a Sourcemeta AGPL library** : Any program that links to an
38- AGPL library (including as bindings to other programming languages)
39- constitutes a derivative work of such library and MUST be released under the
40- AGPL license, _ even if no modifications were made_
41-
42- - ** Integrating with a Sourcemeta AGPL application** : You are free to integrate
43- and distribute an AGPL application in binary form into a larger proprietary
44- or open-source application WITHOUT releasing your application under the AGPL.
45- You are also allowed to make your own modifications to the AGPL application,
46- given you release _ those modifications_ (and only those modifications) under
47- the AGPL too
48-
4929Commercial Use
5030--------------

52- If you need to be able to bypass the aforementioned limitations, we can issue
53- perpetual and/or subscription-based commercial licenses that removes all
54- copy-left restrictions. Think of it as an enforced donation that keeps our
55- projects healthy while giving you additional perks like premium support.

59- organisations, organisations dedicated to global sustainability, notable
