On 1 September 2026 the licence question got settled. The core is AGPL. The skills, automations, workflows and presets are not open source, and won't be.
It's tempting to put everything under MIT and enjoy the goodwill. We didn't, and it's worth saying why in plain terms rather than hiding it in a LICENSE file.
Why AGPL and not MIT
The core is the part you'd need to run this yourself. It should be genuinely free, and it is. AGPL means if you run a modified version as a service for other people, your changes go back out.
MIT would let a larger shop take the core, close it, and sell it back to the same small teams it was built for. AGPL is the licence that says no to that specific outcome, and that's the only outcome we were trying to prevent.
Why the skills aren't in it
The skills, automations, workflows and presets are what running the agency taught us. The engine is the part you could rebuild from the docs. They are not.
Giving away the engine is a genuine contribution. Giving away the operating knowledge as well isn't generosity, it's just going out of business politely.
So: clone the core, run it, change it, and if you run it for others, share what you changed. The playbooks stay ours.
