What is the license of the self-hosted version of WorkAdventure?

The self-hosted version of WorkAdventure is distributed under the AGPL v3 license modified by the Commons Clause. The source code is available on GitHub.

Because it is based on the AGPL license, you can freely:

  • Use the software as you wish
  • Change the software as you wish

If you redistribute the software, or put a modified version of it online, you must make the source code of the modified software available. Any changes you make must be shared with the community.

Because the AGPL license is modified by the Commons Clause, there is one thing you cannot do: sell a version of WorkAdventure online as a service (as a SaaS).

You can:

  • Install the software in your company
  • Sell services for installing the software for other companies

You cannot:

  • Offer online subscriptions to a WorkAdventure server you put online

The WorkAdventure team is the only entity allowed to sell subscriptions to the solution online.

The self-hosted administration panel, which we provide only in some cases, is a separate product: it needs a license from WorkAdventure, provided when you subscribe. See what is the difference between the online version of WorkAdventure and the self-hosted version?
