# License

Gearslip is licensed under the **GNU Affero General Public License v3.0** (see `LICENSE`).

In short: you're free to use, run, and modify it. If you modify it — or run a modified
version as a service others use over a network — the AGPL requires you to make your source
changes available on the same terms. That obligation follows the code even when you don't
redistribute a binary, which is what makes the AGPL fit for something that can run as a
background service.

## Commercial licensing

If the AGPL's terms don't work for you — for example, you want to use Gearslip privately
without being required to publish your changes — a separate commercial license is available
directly from the author. Terms (including any restrictions on modification) are set on a
case-by-case basis. Contact me though Matrix (on my profile) to discuss one.
