## FAQ

**Is Copia CLI free for personal/community use?**
Yes. Under the AGPL-3.0 license, you can freely use, modify, and distribute Copia CLI as long as you comply with the license terms (including sharing source code of modifications).

**Do I need a commercial license for internal company use?**
If you are using Copia CLI internally without distributing it or offering it as a service, the AGPL-3.0 license is sufficient. A commercial license is needed when you distribute or offer Copia CLI as part of a service.

**What if I just use Copia CLI as a tool (not embedded in my product)?**
Using Copia CLI as a standalone tool does not require a commercial license, regardless of whether you are an individual or a company.
