Open Source License (AGPL 3.0)

Dual licensing

Cosmictron is dual-licensed:

1. AGPL 3.0 — for open-source and qualifying commercial use
2. Commercial license — for organizations that cannot comply with AGPL or exceed the free tier thresholds

Free tier

You may use Cosmictron under AGPL 3.0 without a commercial license if either of the following applies:

• Your production deployment does not exceed 10,000 concurrent agent sessions across all Cosmictron instances in your organization, OR
• Your organization’s Annual Revenue is less than $5 million USD

If either condition is satisfied, you qualify for the free tier — even if the other threshold is exceeded.

Tip

Example: A startup with $8M revenue but only 500 concurrent sessions qualifies for the free tier (the session threshold is met). A company with $3M revenue but 50,000 sessions also qualifies (the revenue threshold is met).

AGPL 3.0 obligations

Under AGPL 3.0, you must:

• Open-source modifications — any changes you make to Cosmictron source code must be made available under AGPL 3.0
• Open-source your service — if you build a product or service on top of Cosmictron and offer it to third parties (including SaaS), AGPL §13 (“remote interaction”) requires you to make your service’s source code available to users
• Distribute source alongside any compiled binary you deploy

If you cannot or do not want to comply with these requirements, you need a commercial license.

What AGPL 3.0 permits

• Use in internal tools and applications (no distribution, no service offering)
• Academic and research use
• Personal projects
• Open-source projects licensed under AGPL-compatible terms
• Evaluation and prototyping
