Commercial Use and non-GPL Licensing
Almost all of the source code and provided executable files are
copyrighted works, and the package as a whole is licensed under the
Affero GNU Version 3 license
(AGPL3), and therefore can't be copied, sold, used to derive new
works, or be made available to users interacting with them remotely
through a computer network, without providing the source code. For
all the gory details, please read the accompanying licence.
Code that is copyrighted by me (Graeme W. Gill), which composes the
vast majority of the Argyll CMS, is available for non-AGPL3,
commercial licensing under the ArgyllPRO brand via Computer
Graphics Technology P.L., so that it may be incorporated in closed
source or Server based products. Licensing terms very much depend on
the scope and nature of the licensing (i.e. what portion of the code
is being licensed, whether it is source or executable code, whether
it is being sub-licensed to end users or is being offered on a
Software as a Service basis, etc.). It is highly advisable
that closed source products that make use of ArgyllCMS NOT
be developed before securing an appropriate license. For more
details on the availability, terms and conditions of such non-GPL
licensing, please
