**许可协议 (Licensing)** 本项目采用**区分用户的双重许可 (User-Segmented Dual Licensing)** 模式。 **核心原则：** * **个人用户 和 10人及以下企业/组织:** 默认适用 **GNU Affero 通用公共许可证 v3.0 (AGPLv3)**。 * **超过10人的企业/组织:** **必须** 获取 **商业许可证 (Commercial License)**。 定义：“10人及以下” 指在您的组织（包括公司、非营利组织、政府机构、教育机构等任何实体）中，能够访问、使用或以任何方式直接或间接受益于本软件（Cherry Studio）功能的个人总数不超过10人。这包括但不限于开发者、测试人员、运营人员、最终用户、通过集成系统间接使用者等。 --- **1. 开源许可证 (Open Source License): AGPLv3 - 适用于个人及10人及以下组织** * 如果您是个人用户，或者您的组织满足上述“10人及以下”的定义，您可以在 **AGPLv3** 的条款下自由使用、修改和分发 Cherry Studio。AGPLv3 的完整文本可以访问 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html) 获取。 * **核心义务：** AGPLv3 的一个关键要求是，如果您修改了 Cherry Studio 并通过网络提供服务，或者分发了修改后的版本，您必须以 AGPLv3 许可证向接收者提供相应的**完整源代码**。即使您符合“10人及以下”的标准，如果您希望避免此源代码公开义务，您也需要考虑获取商业许可证（见下文）。 * 使用前请务必仔细阅读并理解 AGPLv3 的所有条款。 **2. 商业许可证 (Commercial License) - 适用于超过10人的组织，或希望规避 AGPLv3 义务的用户** * **强制要求：** 如果您的组织**不**满足上述“10人及以下”的定义（即有11人或更多人可以访问、使用或受益于本软件），您**必须**联系我们获取并签署一份商业许可证才能使用 Cherry Studio。 * **自愿选择：** 即使您的组织满足“10人及以下”的条件，但如果您的使用场景**无法满足 AGPLv3 的条款要求**（特别是关于**源代码公开**的义务），或者您需要 AGPLv3 **未提供**的特定商业条款（如保证、赔偿、无 Copyleft 限制等），您也**必须**联系我们获取并签署一份商业许可证。 * **需要商业许可证的常见情况包括（但不限于）：** * 您的组织规模超过10人。 * （无论组织规模）您希望分发修改过的 Cherry Studio 版本，但**不希望**根据 AGPLv3 公开您修改部分的源代码。 * （无论组织规模）您希望基于修改过的 Cherry Studio 提供网络服务（SaaS），但**不希望**根据 AGPLv3 向服务使用者提供修改后的源代码。 * （无论组织规模）您的公司政策、客户合同或项目要求不允许使用 AGPLv3 许可的软件，或要求闭源分发及保密。 * 商业许可证将为您提供豁免 AGPLv3 义务（如源代码公开）的权利，并可能包含额外的商业保障条款。 * **获取商业许可：** 请通过邮箱 **bd@cherry-ai.com** 联系 Cherry Studio 开发团队洽谈商业授权事宜。 **3. 贡献 (Contributions)** * 我们欢迎社区对 Cherry Studio 的贡献。所有向本项目提交的贡献都将被视为在 **AGPLv3** 许可证下提供。 * 通过向本项目提交贡献（例如通过 Pull Request），即表示您同意您的代码以 AGPLv3 许可证授权给本项目及所有后续使用者（无论这些使用者最终遵循 AGPLv3 还是商业许可）。 * 您也理解并同意，您的贡献可能会被包含在根据商业许可证分发的 Cherry Studio 版本中。 **4. 其他条款 (Other Terms)** * 关于商业许可证的具体条款和条件，以双方签署的正式商业许可协议为准。 * 项目维护者保留根据需要更新本许可政策（包括用户规模定义和阈值）的权利。相关更新将通过项目官方渠道（如代码仓库、官方网站）进行通知。 --- **Licensing** This project employs a **User-Segmented Dual Licensing** model. **Core Principle:** * **Individual Users and Organizations with 10 or Fewer Individuals:** Governed by default under the **GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3)**. * **Organizations with More Than 10 Individuals:** **Must** obtain a **Commercial License**. Definition: "10 or Fewer Individuals" Refers to any organization (including companies, non-profits, government agencies, educational institutions, etc.) where the total number of individuals who can access, use, or in any way directly or indirectly benefit from the functionality of this software (Cherry Studio) does not exceed 10. This includes, but is not limited to, developers, testers, operations staff, end-users, and indirect users via integrated systems. --- **1. Open Source License: AGPLv3 - For Individuals and Organizations of 10 or Fewer** * If you are an individual user, or if your organization meets the "10 or Fewer Individuals" definition above, you are free to use, modify, and distribute Cherry Studio under the terms of the **AGPLv3**. The full text of the AGPLv3 can be found in the LICENSE file at [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html). * **Core Obligation:** A key requirement of the AGPLv3 is that if you modify Cherry Studio and make it available over a network, or distribute the modified version, you must provide the **complete corresponding source code** under the AGPLv3 license to the recipients. Even if you qualify under the "10 or Fewer Individuals" rule, if you wish to avoid this source code disclosure obligation, you will need to obtain a Commercial License (see below). * Please read and understand the full terms of the AGPLv3 carefully before use. **2. Commercial License - For Organizations with More Than 10 Individuals, or Users Needing to Avoid AGPLv3 Obligations** * **Mandatory Requirement:** If your organization does **not** meet the "10 or Fewer Individuals" definition above (i.e., 11 or more individuals can access, use, or benefit from the software), you **must** contact us to obtain and execute a Commercial License to use Cherry Studio. * **Voluntary Option:** Even if your organization meets the "10 or Fewer Individuals" condition, if your intended use case **cannot comply with the terms of the AGPLv3** (particularly the obligations regarding **source code disclosure**), or if you require specific commercial terms **not offered** by the AGPLv3 (such as warranties, indemnities, or freedom from copyleft restrictions), you also **must** contact us to obtain and execute a Commercial License. * **Common scenarios requiring a Commercial License include (but are not limited to):** * Your organization has more than 10 individuals who can access, use, or benefit from the software. * (Regardless of organization size) You wish to distribute a modified version of Cherry Studio but **do not want** to disclose the source code of your modifications under AGPLv3. * (Regardless of organization size) You wish to provide a network service (SaaS) based on a modified version of Cherry Studio but **do not want** to provide the modified source code to users of the service under AGPLv3. * (Regardless of organization size) Your corporate policies, client contracts, or project requirements prohibit the use of AGPLv3-licensed software or mandate closed-source distribution and confidentiality. * The Commercial License grants you rights exempting you from AGPLv3 obligations (like source code disclosure) and may include additional commercial assurances. * **Obtaining a Commercial License:** Please contact the Cherry Studio development team via email at **bd@cherry-ai.com** to discuss commercial licensing options. **3. Contributions** * We welcome community contributions to Cherry Studio. All contributions submitted to this project are considered to be offered under the **AGPLv3** license. * By submitting a contribution to this project (e.g., via a Pull Request), you agree to license your code under the AGPLv3 to the project and all its downstream users (regardless of whether those users ultimately operate under AGPLv3 or a Commercial License). * You also understand and agree that your contribution may be included in distributions of Cherry Studio offered under our commercial license. **4. Other Terms** * The specific terms and conditions of the Commercial License are governed by the formal commercial license agreement signed by both parties. * The project maintainers reserve the right to update this licensing policy (including the definition and threshold for user count) as needed. Updates will be communicated through official project channels (e.g., code repository, official website).
