Open Source

Proud and precise. No license fog.

Why open core?

Label automation is infrastructure. Infrastructure you cannot inspect is infrastructure you cannot trust. The core of OpenLabelEngine is AGPL-3.0: you can self-host it freely, read every line, and modify it for your own use.

What AGPL-3.0 means for you

  • Self-hosting is free. Run the full core on your own hardware, forever.
  • Inspect everything. The source code is on GitHub.
  • SaaS clause. If you offer OpenLabelEngine as a hosted service to others, you must release your modifications under AGPL. This prevents others from building a closed SaaS on top of our work.

What is commercial?

Enterprise modules (SSO/SAML/SCIM, custom roles, KMS/BYOK, SLA support, audit exports) are available under a commercial license. They are clearly named — there is no hidden proprietary core.
