0009: AGPLv3, with an ee/ folder reserved

The project should be free to self-host with everything a team needs, and nobody should be able to resell the hosting of it without giving back.

Everything in Artbucket’s source repository is AGPLv3, except its ee/ folder, which is reserved for code under a separate commercial license and is empty. What is free is decided by 0006: security and access are never behind the line. Candidates for ee/ are organization-scale governance (SAML, SCIM, custom roles, legal hold) and hosting scale, never basic security.

  • A network service built on a modified Artbucket has to offer its source.
  • Contributions stay AGPLv3.
  • ee/ stays empty until something belongs there; its README says what may.
