License

Source Code — AGPL-3.0

Applikant source code is free and open-source software, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3.0).

What This Means

• You can use, modify and distribute Applikant freely
• You can fork the project and run your own instance
• If you modify Applikant and provide it as a network service (e.g. hosting it for others), you must make your modified source code available under the same license
• Any derivative work must also be licensed under AGPL-3.0

Why AGPL?

Applikant is a server application. The AGPL ensures that improvements to the software — even when only used to provide a network service without distributing binaries — are shared back with the community.

We believe this creates the strongest incentive for collaboration: rather than maintaining separate private forks, everyone benefits from contributing to the main project.
