License¶
Atlas ERP is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3).
What does this mean?¶
The AGPLv3 is a copyleft license that ensures the software remains free and open source.
You CAN:¶
✅ Use Atlas ERP commercially
✅ Modify the source code
✅ Distribute modified versions
✅ Use it privately
✅ Use it for commercial purposes
You MUST:¶
📋 Disclose your source code when distributing
📋 License your modifications under AGPLv3
📋 Include the original copyright notice
📋 State significant changes made to the code
📋 Provide source code to users interacting with your software over a network (AGPL network clause)
You CANNOT:¶
❌ Sublicense under different terms

Network Copyleft (AGPL Clause)¶
The key difference between GPL and AGPL is the network clause:
If you run a modified version of Atlas ERP on a server and let users interact with it over a network, you must provide those users access to your modified source code.
This prevents the "SaaS loophole" where companies modify GPL software, run it as a service, but never distribute binaries (thus avoiding GPL obligations).
