If I understand it correctly, since you wrote the code and own the rights, you can do this regardless of the license you chose; e.g., you could have done an AGPL-3 release to the public, and continue giving license-to-use-and-modify-but-not-release to customers.
Am I misunderstanding?
- pavanky 12y agoYou are technically right, but in my experience a few companies either do not understand this or do not want to risk it for legal reasons. BSD 3-clause on the other hand is very easy to understand and is permissive off the bat.
