Understanding why ONgDB uses AGPLv3 #63

Closed rikonor closed 3 years ago

rikonor commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering why does ONgDB use AGPLv3 for its enterprise features. Is it because the code it originated from (i.e Neo4j's enterprise code) was AGPLv3?

Thanks!

Hi @rikonor - Yes that's exactly the reason. Neo4j enterprise code is licensed under AGPLv3 and community code is licensed under GPLv3. For the versions of ONgDB where we are using that code we need are continuing to release under those same licenses.

Thanks for the quick response and explanation @bradnussbaum. That makes sense.
