# AFFiNE license

## Motivation

Find out which are the FOSS parts of AFFiNE and whether a self-hosted
AFFiNE service can be used and modified without license costs.

## GitHub licenses

In GitHub two license pages exist:
- [License](https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE?tab=License-1-ov-file)
- [MIT license](https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE?tab=MIT-2-ov-file)

It seems that AFFiNE is not completely FOSS but only some parts of it.
It is not very straight forward which parts are FOSS.

## Your tasks

### FOSS parts of AFFiNE

Find out which are the FOSS parts of AFFiNE and which parts are not FOSS.
Explain it in an easy to understand description.

### Self-hosted AFFiNE service free of costs?

Determine whether a self-hosted AFFiNE service can be used free
of license costs
and which conditions have to be met so that it is free.

The attached shell script creates a Podman Pod which
runs an AFFiNE service. Check whether this service is free of license costs.

### AFFiNE modifications allowed?

Find out whether modifications of AFFiNE for running a
self-hosted AFFiNE-like service are allowed.

Concrete Use-Case: Place a Man-in-the-Middle software between the
AFFiNE Web-GUI and the AFFiNE database which adds functionality.
