Licensing

One SDK. Two paths to production.

Use the SDK under its open-source license, or obtain commercial rights for a product that cannot meet those obligations.

Open source

AGPLv3

Suitable when your distribution and network use can comply with the AGPL requirements. The repository license text—not this overview—controls.

  • Complete SDK source
  • No license fee
  • AGPL compliance required
  • No proprietary production grant

Commercial

Named product rights

Suitable for proprietary applications that need a separately negotiated production grant without applying the AGPL to the covered product.

  • Named legal entity and product
  • Annual SDK update term
  • Startup self-service option
  • Growth and OEM terms available

Important boundary

The agreement is the license.

Website descriptions summarize the intended commercial model. They do not replace the executed commercial agreement or provide legal advice.
