Dual-Licensing Model

openDAW is available under two alternative license terms:

Option	When to choose it	Obligations
A. AGPL v3 (or later)	You are happy for the entire work that includes openDAW to be released under AGPL-compatible open-source terms.	– Must distribute complete corresponding source code under AGPL. – Must keep copyright & licence notices. – Applies both to distribution and to public use via network/SaaS (§13). – May run openDAW privately in any software, open or closed (§0).
B. Commercial Licence	You wish to incorporate openDAW into closed-source or otherwise licence-incompatible software or SaaS offerings.	– Pay the agreed fee. – No copyleft requirement for your own source code. – Other terms as per the signed agreement.

How to obtain the Commercial License
Email andre.michelle@opendaw.org with your company name, product description, and expected distribution volume.

If you redistribute or run modified versions of openDAW for public use without a commercial license, the AGPL v3 terms apply automatically.

Components excluded from the Commercial License

The components below ship with openDAW but are not covered by Option B (Commercial License). Their upstream licenses are copyleft, or they depend on a third-party service whose terms cannot be sublicensed by openDAW. A commercial-license build must omit or replace each of them.

Component	Location	Upstream	Why excluded
Compressor	`lib/dsp/src/ctagdrc/` `studio/core-processors/.../CompressorDeviceProcessor.ts`	CTAGDRC (Phillip Lamp, 2020) + LookAhead by Daniel Rudrich, 2019 — GPL v3.0	Upstream GPL cannot be sublicensed under non-copyleft terms. Replace with a permissively-licensed compressor for option B.
Neural Amp / Tone3000	`app/studio/.../NeuralAmp/NamTone3000.*` `Tone3000Dialog.tsx` icons + manual references	tone3000.com — third-party service and per-model licensing	Integration calls the Tone3000 API and loads models whose individual licenses are set by their authors on tone3000.com.
AI Tempo Detection	`lib/inference/src/tasks/TempoDetectionTask.ts` `assets.opendaw.studio/models/tempo-cnn/`	TempoCNN (Schreiber & Müller, hendriks73/tempo-cnn) — AGPL v3.0	Upstream AGPL cannot be sublicensed. The `lib-inference` package itself is not part of the SDK either.

lib-inference (the rest of it — stem separation, audio-to-MIDI) and the assets it pulls from assets.opendaw.studio are runtime-only and not part of the SDK distribution; they are listed here only because they ship inside the open-source studio.
