Aren't you required to release it even if you run it yourself with GPLv3? Or am I thinking of another version?

- mfreed 6y agoYou are thinking of the AGPLv3. Not to be confused with the GPLv3 =) https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html "It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there."
- StavrosK 6y agoAhh, right, I thought I was misremembering but couldn't quite place how, thanks.
- ensignavenger 6y agoAs the term you cited says, the AGPL only requires distribution if you are providing it to some one else, including as service over a network- if you use it yourself, and don't distribute it (including over a network service) to anyone else, you still don't have to share your source.
