<p>As we adopt the Affero General Public License (AGPL) for our OpenBB Platform, we understand you may have questions about how this change affects your use of the platform. Below are some frequently asked questions to help clarify the implications of our new licensing model.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="general-questions">General Questions<a href="#general-questions" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to General Questions" title="Direct link to General Questions"></a></h2>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: What has changed with the OpenBB Platform license?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: We have transitioned from the MIT license to the Affero General Public License (AGPL) with an option for a commercial license. This change aligns with our commitment to keeping OpenBB Platform open and free while also providing options for commercial use.</p></div></div></details>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: Why did OpenBB choose AGPL?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: AGPL helps ensure that improvements to the OpenBB Platform remain freely available. This license is ideal for protecting the community&#x27;s contributions while allowing the platform to evolve sustainably.</p></div></div></details>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: What does the change to AGPL mean for general users of OpenBB?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: For most users, there will be no impact. You can continue to use OpenBB Platform for research, development, and in your applications under the same conditions as before, provided you comply with the AGPL if you distribute the software or run it on a network server.</p></div></div></details>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="specific-use-cases">Specific Use Cases<a href="#specific-use-cases" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Specific Use Cases" title="Direct link to Specific Use Cases"></a></h2>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: I&#x27;m using OpenBB Platform for research at work. Do I need a commercial license now?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: No, if you are using OpenBB Platform in its unmodified form for research or internal business purposes and do not redistribute it or use it to provide a network-based service, you do not need a commercial license.</p></div></div></details>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: I am selling educational content and use OpenBB Platform in my course notebooks. Do I need a commercial license? Do I need to make my course content public?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: No, you do not need a commercial license simply for using OpenBB Platform in educational content, nor do you need to make your course content public. If you are using OpenBB Platform to fetch data or perform analysis in your teaching materials, this is considered normal use of the platform. Your educational content is a separate work and does not fall under the AGPL&#x27;s requirements for derivative works.</p></div></div></details>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: I want to integrate a proprietary dataset for internal use through OpenBB Platform. What does this mean for me?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: You can freely integrate proprietary datasets without violating the AGPL, provided that any such integration uses standard interfaces of OpenBB Platform and does not modify the core AGPL-licensed code.</p></div></div></details>
<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: I run a business that integrates proprietary datasets through OpenBB Platform for internal use. What does the license change mean for us?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: If you are integrating proprietary datasets and creating extensions that do not modify the OpenBB Platform code, these extensions are considered separate works. You do not need to disclose these proprietary integrations under the AGPL, provided these do not form part of the OpenBB Platform distributed to others or used to provide a network-based service.</p></div></div></details>

However, if you distribute the modified platform or run it as a service, you must share your modifications under the AGPL.</p></div></div></details>

<details class="details_lb9f alert alert--info details_r1OI" data-collapsed="true"><summary mdxtype="summary">Q: What are the benefits of obtaining a commercial license?</summary><div><div class="collapsibleContent_i85q"><p>A: A commercial license is suitable for companies that wish to use OpenBB Platform in a proprietary product or service, or who do not wish to disclose their modifications to the platform. It offers more flexibility for commercial use while protecting your proprietary developments.</p></div></div></details>
