Licensing¶
Isopace is dual-licensed. You may use it under whichever of the two licenses fits your deployment.
-
Open source — AGPL-3.0-or-later
The GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. If you run a modified Isopace as a network service, AGPL section 13 requires you to offer your users the corresponding source.
-
Commercial license
A proprietary license from Teqpace Services Ltd. removes the AGPL copyleft obligations for closed-source or hosted/commercial deployments.
Why stdlib-only matters here¶
Keeping the module stdlib-only is deliberate: with no third-party dependency
in the module graph, the dual-license model stays free of transitive copyleft.
Optional integrations (OpenTelemetry, NATS/JetStream, a SQL Store, an
HSM/PKCS#11 Vault) are designed as drop-in adapters in separate, optionally
imported modules so this property is preserved.
Contributions¶
External contributors sign a Contributor License Agreement so Teqpace can maintain the dual-license model. You keep copyright in your work; the CLA is a license grant, not an assignment.
