Licensing
RetroFuse uses open-source licensing with a commercial path.
Public RetroFuse software releases are intended to use the GNU Affero General
Public License v3.0, with commercial licensing available when AGPLv3 obligations
do not fit a deployment or integration.
Public License
AGPLv3 is the default public release model.
The AGPLv3 keeps source availability attached to networked and service-style
use. That matters for RetroFuse because many modules are built to operate as
ongoing infrastructure rather than one-time scripts.
The license text controls. This page is a practical explanation, not legal
advice and not a substitute for the license itself.
Commercial Use
Commercial licensing is available
Commercial licensing is available for private deployments, proprietary internal
use, redistribution, hosted/service operation, or integrations that cannot
comply with AGPLv3 source-sharing obligations.
Contact Flow
Start with the deployment context
For commercial licensing, include the product of interest, intended deployment,
whether it will be redistributed or hosted, and any integration constraints.
Brand Boundary
The RetroFuse name is deliberate
Open-source availability does not grant permission to imply endorsement,
ownership, or official RetroFuse status for modified products or services.
Commercial Contact
Contact RetroFuse for commercial terms
Send licensing inquiries to
[email protected].
Include enough deployment detail to determine whether AGPLv3 is sufficient or a
separate commercial license is appropriate.
Commercial Acceptance
Commercial access requires acceptance before delivery.
Commercial access requires acceptance of the applicable RetroFuse Commercial
License Terms before download, private delivery, hosted access, support, or
proprietary-use permission.
Acceptance may be recorded by signed agreement, purchase order referencing the
license, approved commercial request form, or written email confirmation from an
authorized representative.
RetroFuse may require name, organization, email, product/version, license type,
timestamp, and accepted terms version before providing commercial download access.
Release Rule
Licensing should make the work easier to use correctly, not easier to misunderstand.
RetroFuse will keep the public release language explicit: what is open, what is
commercial, what is only observed environment state, and what belongs to a
separate product lane.
