License

Piyaz is dual-licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0-or-later) and a commercial license.

Open source license (AGPL-3.0)

The AGPL-3.0 grants you the right to use, modify, and distribute Piyaz. Key obligations:

• Source disclosure: If you modify Piyaz and make it available over a network (e.g., as a hosted service), you must make your modified source code available to users of that service under the same license.
• Copyleft: Derivative works must be licensed under the AGPL-3.0.
• No warranty: The software is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind.

You can self-host unmodified Piyaz freely. If you modify it and expose it as a service, the AGPL requires you to share those modifications.

Commercial license

A commercial license is available for organizations that need to use Piyaz without AGPL obligations. This covers:

• Running modified versions as a proprietary service
• Integrating Piyaz into closed-source products
• Deploying without the requirement to share source code

To inquire about commercial licensing, contact the maintainers.
