The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for

software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
|

cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
|
||||
|

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
||||
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
|
||||
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
|
||||
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
|
||||
software for all its users.

|

avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could

make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
|
||||
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
||||
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
|
||||
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
|
||||
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
||||
and/or modify the software.
|
||||
|
||||
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
|
||||
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
|
||||
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
|
||||
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
|

encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
|

software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.

The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
|
||||
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
|
||||
source code to the public.
|
||||
|
||||
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
|
||||
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
|
||||
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
|
||||
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
|
||||
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
|
||||
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
|
||||
code of the modified version.
|

|
||||
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
|

published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is

a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has

released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
