They do say it:
> It’s important to note that this change does not prevent our users from using, modifying, or providing our open source software to others — provided, however, that under the AGPL license, users have to share source code if they are modifying it and making it available to others (either as a distribution or over a network). For distributors, AGPL has the same source code sharing requirements as GPL. Those conditions are designed to encourage third parties looking to modify the software to also contribute back to the project and the community.
- technics256 5y agoIt's still unclear to me if this also means things like custom dashboards, etc?
- frenchman99 5y agoI read AGPL as "if you need to clone the Grafana Git repository, change code (even just one line), then you need to open source your changes". If you write code without having to modify Grafana's code itself, then you don't need to open source that.
- lovasoa 5y agoI don't think it's what the license says. It says that if you are building a larger product that includes an AGPL part, then the whole product has to be AGPL. Even if you didn't change a single line of the AGPL code and just built "around" it.
