What this means in practice:

• Self-hosting for personal or internal use: fully permitted
• Offering Rustume as a network service: you must share your modifications under AGPL
• CLI and library use locally: no network interaction, so AGPL network provisions do not apply
• Template designs: adapted from Reactive Resume (MIT); see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES

Prior commits were released under MIT; AGPL applies from the relicense forward. See also NOTICE.

Rustume follows the same licensing approach as projects like Plausible, Cal.com, Signal, and Standard Notes.
