Some features are only in the paid version which is fair enough, but when I tried it a few months ago there was a small but permanently visible message on the app reminding me this was the free version. That was annoying.
- gigatexal 3y agoIf I am going to host something myself and not pay i'd like to do so without a "this is the free version" reminder all the time. At that point I'll just keep paying for my Apple One subscription.
- giamma 3y agoIt's opensource and AGPL, as long as you do not redistribute it I believe you can fork it and rebuild it.
- buzzy_hacker 3y agoI’m curious how this works with AGPL. Do they not have to release the source of the paid version?
- rakoo 3y agoTheir obligation is only to the users who paid for it, and if you host the paid version to serve someone else, the obligation is on you only. That doesn't mean the code can't get distributed more widely. I guess it's a bet based on the honesty of users.
- velosol 3y agoWouldn't that source only need to be available to those who purchase the paid version?
- mcny 3y ago> Wouldn't that source only need to be available to those who purchase the paid version? Yes but I am trying to see if there is a better solution to the red hat freeloader problem. To spell it out, What is to stop Oracle (doesn't make sense but couldn't come up with a more evil name) from purchasing a license and releasing IronPrism or whatever by doing s/PhotoPrism/IronPrism?
- joshuaissac 3y agoThey have a contributor licence agreement that allows them to relicense incoming contributions, so they can release the paid version under a proprietary licence, if they so wish. https://www.photoprism.app/cla https://www.photoprism.app/cla
- mcfedr 3y agoYea, cla is a massive turn off for contributing. I've made a couple of small PRs but wouldn't do anything more substantial
- RobotToaster 3y agoI've read you just need to add "PHOTOPRISM_SPONSOR: "true"" to the docker compose lol.

- seszett 3y agoIt's not really a secret since the application is open-source. I find their relaxed approach to a paid open-source application very nice.
