    Sorry node-phash is just a wrapper. pHash license is indeed GPL v3. Which means as you say a commercial license should be obtained for commercial use

      Aren't they/you using it for a hosted web platform? Then it wouldn't matter, as long as it is not the AGPL.

        Correct, I was just commenting for general commercial purpose use!

          No, for closed source distribution. Commercial can be open or closed source. GPL does not prohibit commercial use, it prohibits not sharing source under same free terms.

  Unless your closed source commercial product is a service, in which case you don't need to do anything, since pHash is GPL not AGPL.
