The frePPLe software has dual licensing, which means:
- You can use the software free of charge under the GNU Affero General Public License (seehttp://www.gnu.org/licenses/).
In short, the AGPL license is a strong copyleft license and any product using frePPLe must be AGPL-compatible open source as well: “what is open source must remain open source”
This also applies to users who interact with frePPLe over a network: they must be able receive the source code.
- The extensions included with Enterprise Edition are closed-source. The source code of the extensions is not redistributed.
- You can also purchase a commercial OEM license from frePPLe bvba if you do not wish to be bound by the terms of the AGPL.
A commercial licensee has the right to create products and services that can remain proprietary and protected. Without a commercial license, software incorporating frePPLe must also be open source.
The commercial license is available for businesses who wish to use frePPle and benefit from a commercial relationship with frePPLe bvba, without incurring the obligations of open source software.
