CUZY module license
CUZY modules are dual-licensed. Choose the commercial license for one-click installation and updates through the HumHub marketplace, or the GNU AGPL v3 to install from source with manual updates.
Option A: commercial license
Grant
- The licensee may install and use the module on one HumHub installation, for its own use or for a customer, for an unlimited time.
- The licensee may adjust and change the software to its needs.
- The licensee may develop extensions (modules, themes, integrations) that use the module and distribute them under any license, including commercial ones.
- The license is transferable to another party once, with written notice to CUZY.
Restrictions
- No sub-licensing, resale or distribution of the module or of copies to third parties.
- No extraction of components for standalone use outside HumHub.
- One license per installation; multi-instance deployments need one license each or a written agreement.
- The license terminates immediately if these restrictions are breached.
Updates and support
For most modules the purchase includes twelve months of updates through the HumHub marketplace and of support; renewal at the published price extends both. Some modules are sold once with lifetime updates. A module keeps working after the update period ends. Details are in the terms of service.
Warranty
The software is provided as is; error-free operation cannot be guaranteed. CUZY corrects defects through updates or workarounds within the support period. Liability is limited as described in the terms of service.
Option B: GNU Affero General Public License v3
Every CUZY module's source code is public on GitHub. Anyone may install a module from source under the AGPL v3, free of charge, with these practical consequences:
- Installation and every update are manual: files and database migrations.
- Modified source code deployed on a server accessible to others must be made available to them, as the AGPL requires.
- No support is included; issues on GitHub are welcome.
- Donations help fund maintenance and are appreciated.
