# AppCrane Commercial License AppCrane is free and open source under the [GNU AGPL v3.0](LICENSE). You can use, modify, and self-host it at no cost. The AGPL is a **network copyleft** license: if you run a **modified** version of AppCrane as a service that others interact with over a network, you must make your complete corresponding source available to those users under the AGPL. ## When you may want a commercial license A separate commercial license removes the AGPL's copyleft obligations. Consider it if you want to: - run a **modified** AppCrane as a hosted / SaaS product **without** publishing your modifications, or - **embed** AppCrane inside a proprietary, closed-source product, or - otherwise distribute AppCrane under terms incompatible with the AGPL. Using **unmodified** AppCrane, or self-hosting it internally while complying with the AGPL, does **not** require a commercial license. ## How to obtain one Commercial licensing terms and pricing are available on request. > **Contact:** info@glick.run --- > **Stub:** the actual license terms should be finalized with legal counsel > before offering this publicly. Dual licensing only works if the project holds > the rights to all contributed code — see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) > for the required CLA.
