I think (A)GPL is great for standalone software, i.e. tools that don't get integrated into a codebase but used as an external service. Databases or your search

I think (A)GPL is great for standalone software, i.e. tools that don't get integrated into a codebase but used as an external service. Databases or your search engine are great examples for that.
For anything that should be integrated into the codebase of your customers I'd recommend a weaker license like MIT or BSD, as most companies shy away from integrating GPL libraries into their codebases for fear of contamination.
- holri 6y agoFor this cases there is the LGPL.
- rusticpenn 6y agoIs it not possible to have multiple licenses? AGPL or commercial?
- orlandohill 6y agoYes. This is sometimes called dual-licensing, but a less ambiguous term is public-private licensing. https://indieopensource.com/public-private/indies https://indieopensource.com/public-private/indies
