# Velxio — Commercial License
|
|
|
|
**Copyright (C) 2025 David Montero Crespo**
|
|
|
|
## What is the Commercial License?
|
|
|
|
Velxio is dual-licensed:
|
|
|
|
- **AGPLv3** (see [LICENSE](LICENSE)) — free for everyone, including commercial use,
|
|
as long as you comply with the AGPLv3 copyleft terms (i.e., any modifications or
|
|
derivative works you distribute or run on a network server must also be released
|
|
under AGPLv3).
|
|
|
|
- **Commercial License** (this document) — grants you the right to use, modify, and
|
|
integrate Velxio into a proprietary / closed-source product or service **without**
|
|
the AGPLv3 source-disclosure obligation. You pay once (or on a subscription basis)
|
|
and keep your code private.
|
|
|
|
## Who needs a Commercial License?
