Lizenz / License Community Edition

TomFreudenberg

Hello,

I am new to the grommunio community and a most important part is irritating me on an open source project. It says on there website: Community Edition max. 5 Users

The Licence file in the repository but says: "GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 19 November 2007".

So from an AGPL License there is no cause to just use 5 Users when self hosting the software. I can imagine, that this is a hard coded fact when not enabled a subscription.

My question is, what rule is against patching the repository like a fork and removing the 5 User max value? Do I break any laws or is it just their kind of making money with not experienced end users?

Thanks for clarification while this is an important issue in my eyes for an open source software.

This is a decision made by the project managers.
If you wish to use the precompiled packages, you may only use 5 users free of charge. If you fork the project, compile it yourself and take care of the installation and support yourself, there is no reason not to remove the license.

Thanks Walter, that's what I thought then.
