Affero General Public License

The Affero General Public License (AGPL) is a type of free software license that allows anyone to use, modify, and share software freely. Its key feature is that if you run the software on a server and provide access to others over a network, you must also share the source code and any modifications you make under the same license. This ensures transparency and collaboration, preventing companies from using the software privately without sharing improvements. Essentially, the AGPL promotes open source development, especially for web-based applications, by guaranteeing that improvements remain accessible to the community.
