taOS is licensed to the public under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later (AGPL-3.0-or-later). See LICENSE. For most use, self-hosting, internal business use, personal, academic, and research, the AGPL is all you need and taOS is free.
The AGPL requires that if you run a modified version of taOS to provide a network service to others, you make the complete corresponding source of your modified version available to those users, also under the AGPL. A commercial license removes that obligation for you.
Consider a commercial license if you want to:
- offer taOS, or a modified version, as a hosted or managed service without releasing your modifications under the AGPL;
- embed or bundle taOS inside a proprietary product you distribute; or
- otherwise use taOS on terms the AGPL does not grant you.
