License

The ORLP website and node daemon are free software, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0). The software is, and always will be, free — no premium tier, no feature gating, no proprietary hardware requirement.

Your freedoms

The AGPL guarantees four freedoms to every user:

• Run the software for any purpose.
• Study how it works and adapt it (the source is public).
• Redistribute copies to help others.
• Distribute copies of your modified versions.

The network clause (what makes it AGPL, not GPL)

The AGPL’s defining requirement is Section 13: if you run a modified version of the software and let users interact with it over a network, you must offer those users the corresponding source code of your modified version. This closes the “application service provider” gap in the ordinary GPL and ensures improvements to networked software flow back to the community.

Conditions

• Preserve copyright and licence notices, and state significant changes you make.
• Distribute derivative works (and networked modified versions) under the same AGPL v3 terms.
• There is no warranty — see the disclaimer in the full licence text and our Terms.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome and are accepted under the AGPL v3. Development happens in the open; please review the contributing guidelines in the repository before opening a pull request.
