License
-------
GPL version 3 or later, please see [LICENSE](LICENSE.md) for the full text.
Some bundled third-party components have [other licenses](vendor/README.md).
Foodsoft is licensed under the [AGPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html)
license (version 3 or later). Practically this means that you are free to use,
adapt and redistribute the software, as long as you publish any changes you
make to the code.
For private use, there are no restrictions, but if you give others access to
Foodsoft (like running it open to the internet), you must also make your
changes available under the same license. This can be as easy as
[forking](https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/fork) the project on Github and
pushing your changes. You are not required to integrate your changes back into
the main Foodsoft version (but if you're up for it that would be very welcome).
To make it a little easier, configuration files are exempt, so you can just
install and configure Foodsoft without having to publish your changes. These
files are marked as public domain in the file header.
If you have any remaining questions, please
[open an issue](https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/issues/new) or contact
the [mailing list](http://foodsoft.51229.x6.nabble.com/foodsoft-discuss-f5.html).
Please see [LICENSE](LICENSE.md) for the full and authoritative text. Some
bundled third-party components have [other licenses](vendor/README.md).
