Yawble

License

Free to use, self-host and modify, including at work. The only thing you can't do is sell Yawble as a hosted service. Every version becomes Apache 2.0 after two years.

Yawble itself

Yawble is source-available under the Functional Source License, Version 1.1, Apache-2.0 future license (SPDX: FSL-1.1-ALv2). Copyright (c) 2026 DJL Systems, Inc.

You may use, copy, modify, and share this software for any permitted purpose. That includes running it yourself, internal use inside a company, non-commercial education and research, and professional services you provide to someone who is themselves using it under this license. Making Yawble, or a product with the same or substantially similar functionality, available to others as a commercial product or service that substitutes for it is not a permitted purpose.

Two years after a given version is published, that version also becomes available under the Apache License 2.0. Newer versions stay under the Functional Source License until each one reaches its own two-year date.

The Yawble name and logo are trademarks. This license does not allow their use on a hosted service or a fork. Contributions are accepted only under the contributor agreement, so DJL Systems, Inc. and its successors can keep building Yawble, including commercial offerings.

This is not an OSI-approved open source license. Describe it as source-available, or as fair source.

This summary is for convenience. The LICENSE file in the repository is the text that applies.

Marketplace plugins and solutions

The packages in the Yawble Marketplace are licensed separately from Yawble itself.

The plugins and solutions DJL Systems, Inc. makes for the Yawble Marketplace are open source under the Apache License 2.0 (SPDX: Apache-2.0). Their source is in the Yawble-packages repository on GitHub.

You may use, copy, modify and redistribute them, including commercially, as the Apache License allows. Every package .zip carries its LICENSE and NOTICE files.

The Yawble name and logo are not licensed with the packages. A package from anyone else is under the license stated with it.

The LICENSE file in the packages repository is the text that applies.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. Every contributor accepts the contributor license agreement before a contribution is merged; you keep the copyright in your work. How to contribute, and the agreement itself, are in CONTRIBUTING.md.
