If you don't modify, you have no obligations. Easy.
- dspillett 2y agoNope. That is LGPL. Under (A)GPL if you make a derivative work you have obligations even if you do not modify. Easy. [Well, not so easy, as this discussion and the likes of Minio saying “get your own lawyer to tell you what our licence says” illustrate – what constitutes a derived work is apparently not objectively well-defined] Don't believe me? Ask Google and their vast legal team: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl-policy https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl...
- camgunz 2y agoNeither the AGPLv3 nor your link reference "derivative works". It's a GPLv2 concept they jettisoned for (A)GPLv3. https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2014/SFLC-Guide_to_GPL_Compliance_2d_ed.html#concepts-and-license-mechanics-of-copyleft https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2014/SFLC-Guide_to_GPL...
