At WaveMaker, we believe in open source software. WaveMaker provides its software under a dual license policy which offers developers and enterprises the choice of an open source license (AGPL v3) or a commercial license.
WaveMaker Licensing
We encourage everyone to participate in open source communities and publish open source software under the AGPL License. There are two situations in which you need a commercial license for WaveMaker:
- For developers and consultants who want commercial support and add-on features - choose the subscription that matches your needs.
- For ISVs who do not license their own products code under the AGPL license - contact WaveMaker sales about our ISV licensing.
