# Lyse — Dual License

Copyright (c) Lyse Labs.

Lyse is dual-licensed. You may use, modify, and distribute it under

either:

1. **GNU Affero General Public License version 3** (AGPLv3) — see

[`LICENSE-AGPL-3.0.txt`](./LICENSE-AGPL-3.0.txt). Use this when you

accept the AGPLv3's network-copyleft requirements (notably: if you run

a modified version as a network service, you must offer your users the

modified source code).

2. **Commercial License** — see [`COMMERCIAL.md`](./COMMERCIAL.md). Use

this when you want to embed Lyse in a closed-source product,

re-host it as a SaaS without sharing source, or otherwise need terms

incompatible with AGPLv3.

## Why dual?

Lyse is open-source under AGPLv3. AGPLv3's network clause prevents

larger vendors from rebundling Lyse as a closed-source SaaS without

contributing back. The Commercial License exists for users whose own

licensing or distribution model is incompatible with AGPLv3 (e.g. embedding

Lyse's engine in a proprietary product).
