The Big Shoebox Project — TBS-001¶

This project is released as open-source software under the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3 (GNU AGPLv3).

The full license text is available in the LICENSE file in the project repository.

What This Means (Plain English)¶

The GNU AGPLv3 is a strong copyleft license. In practical terms:

You are free to use, copy, modify, and distribute this project and its documentation for any purpose, including commercially.
If you modify this work and deploy it — including as a networked service — you must release your modified source code under the same AGPLv3 license.
Attribution is required: any distributed or published version must credit the original author and retain this license notice.
No warranty is provided. The project is offered as-is, without guarantee of fitness for any particular purpose.

The AGPLv3 "network use" clause extends the standard GPL copyleft to cover software run over a network: if you run a modified version of this project as a service and allow others to interact with it, you must provide access to the modified source. For a documentation and design project like this one, this primarily means: if you publish a modified version of this site, the source must be publicly available under AGPLv3.
