This page is intended to provide a summary of information that developers and companies may find useful in understanding licensing options available for Artifex products. It does not represent legal advice. If you are trying to determine whether to use Ghostscript software under AGPL or our alternative Artifex commercial license, please consider the following guidelines. Distribution — Unlike most other open source licenses, AGPL's conditions are not all dependent on re-distribution of the software.
For most other open source licenses like GPL , the condition for making source code available is the distribution of the software. Distribution means making a copy available or delivering a copy to someone outside your organization.
So, for example, providing the software to an employee within your organization is not distribution, but providing the software to an outside consultant, beta tester, or customer is distribution. If you are redistributing our software in binary form, you must make the source code available. AGPL also requires this.
For example, if you are using the software on your own company's equipment, but you are making the functionality of the software available to users interacting with it remotely through a computer network, and you make any change to the software, you must make the source code for your changed version available to users of the software. Take care to ensure that during network deployment that there is no code change that could invoke the source code availability obligation.
Bottom line, if you distribute our software, or make the functionality of the software available to users interacting with it remotely through a computer network, you must share your source code.
Corresponding Source — If you combine our software with other software, you might have further obligations under AGPL that you would not have under our alternative commercial license.

This may include source code for your application. The Corresponding Source includes 'all the source code needed to generate, install and for an executable work run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.

If you meet certain criteria, then we will not consider your distribution of your application in an executable form to be in violation of AGPL, even though you ship an executable product that includes your application and Ghostscript.
