Typebot is open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPLv3). You can find it [here](./LICENSE).

In a few words, it means that:
The goal of the AGPL license is to:

- If you commercialize your version of Typebot. You need to be clear and provide a prominent mention and link to the original project so people that are considering using their version of the software can be aware of the original project
- If you modify the original software, you need to open source and publish your modifications
- Maximize user freedom and to encourage companies to contribute to open source.
- Prevent corporations from taking our code and using it as part of their closed-source proprietary products
- Prevent corporations from offering Typebot as a service without contributing to the open source project
- Prevent corporations from confusing people and making them think that the service they sell is in any shape or form approved by the original team

In a few words, to use Typebot in your company, you need to:

- Open source and publish your modifications
- If you commercialize your version of Typebot, be clear and provide a prominent mention and link to the original project so people that are considering using their version of the software can be aware of the original project.

If you'd like to use Typebot without open-sourcing your modified code, you can purchase a commercial license to remove the copyleft restrictions and in that way support the original project. Contact me at baptiste@typebot.io.
