IFree software

Grantifex is free software.

The Grantifex software is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later (AGPL-3.0-or-later).

The AGPL guarantees the four freedoms of free software: you may use Grantifex for any purpose, study the source code, modify the software and pass on copies — modified or unmodified. Nobody needs our permission to do so.

In return, the license demands copyleft: whoever distributes a modified Grantifex must publish the changes under the same license. This keeps the code permanently free.

Free means auditable, forkable, independent — not free of charge.

IINetwork copyleft

What makes Section 13 AGPL special.

Unlike the GPL, the copyleft of the AGPL also applies to pure network use.

Classic copyleft only takes effect when software is distributed. Software-as-a-service, however, is not distributed — it is operated. Section 13 AGPL closes this gap: whoever provides a modified version of Grantifex to users over a network must make the source code of the running, modified version available to those users.

For self-hosting this means: operating an unmodified instance creates no further obligations. Whoever forks Grantifex or operates a modified version must offer the modified source code to their users — typically via a link in the portal.

IIISource code and full text

Where to find the license and the code.

The license text is authoritative — this page is only a summary.

The complete, legally authoritative license text is published by the Free Software Foundation at www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.

Source code of the Grantifex grants extension: publication of the public repository (Packagist/GitHub) is planned for 2026 and will be linked here. Until then we provide the source code on request, in line with the AGPL: [email protected].

IVTrademark and support

What the license does not cover.

The code is free — the name is not.

The name "Grantifex", the logo and the brand identity are not part of the AGPL license. Forks may use the code without restriction, but must operate under their own name and must not create the impression of being an official Grantifex offering.

We offer commercial support, hosting and further development as a service — see Pricing. That is exactly what sustains the project: the code is free, the work on it is paid.
