License requirements

Typebot is open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPLv3). You can find it here. The goal of the AGPLv3 license is to:

Maximize user freedom and to encourage companies to contribute to open source.

Prevent corporations from taking the code and using it as part of their closed-source proprietary products

Prevent corporations from offering Typebot as a service without contributing to the open source project

Prevent corporations from confusing people and making them think that the service they sell is in any shape or form approved by the original team

Here are the 3 different possible use cases:

You'd like to self-host Typebot as-is without modifying the source code and you don't have the intention to commercialize your version of Typebot.

You can host and use Typebot without restrictions. Your contributions to improve Typebot and fix bugs are welcome. 💙

You'd like to fork the project to build your own features on top of Typebot and you don't have the intention to commercialize your version of Typebot.

You need to open-source your modifications

You'd like to commercialize your own version of Typebot

You need to open-source your modifications.
After your users registration, you should provide a prominent mention and link to the original project (https://typebot.io). You should clearly mention that you provide a modified version of the official project, Typebot. It would be also a good place to explain your version advantages comparing to the original project.
You need to provide a link to your forked repository somewhere in the landing page or the builder. This way, interested users can easily access and review the modifications you’ve made.

Typebot is composed of 2 Next.js applications you need to deploy:

the builder, where you build your typebots

the viewer, where your user answer the typebot
