### New API Licensing (English)
90+
91+
This page describes the software license of the New API project (not this documentation site).
92+
93+
This project uses a **Usage-Based Dual Licensing** model.
94+
95+
**Core Principles:**
96+
97+
- **Default License:** The project is available by default under the **GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3)**, provided you comply with both the AGPLv3 terms and the additional restriction below.
98+
- **Commercial License:** For specific commercial scenarios, or if you require rights beyond AGPLv3, you **must** obtain a **Commercial License**.
99+
100+
For the full and latest license text, see the project's [LICENSE](https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api/blob/main/LICENSE).
101+
102+
#### 1. Open Source License: AGPLv3 – For Basic Usage
103+
104+
- Under the terms of **AGPLv3**, you are free to use, modify, and distribute New API. Full text: [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html).
105+
- **Core Obligation:** If you modify New API and provide it as a network service (SaaS), or distribute a modified version, you must make the **complete corresponding source code** available to all users under AGPLv3.
106+
- **Additional Restriction (Important):** When using only the AGPLv3 license, you **must** retain all original branding, logos, and copyright statements in the project. **You are prohibited from modifying, removing, or concealing** such information. A Commercial License is required to remove them.
107+
- Please read and ensure you fully understand AGPLv3 and the above additional restriction before use.
108+
109+
#### 2. Commercial License – For Advanced Scenarios & Closed Source Needs
110+
111+
You **must** contact us to obtain and sign a Commercial License in any of the following scenarios to legally use New API:
112+
113+
- **Scenario 1: Removal of Branding and Copyright**
114+
You wish to remove the New API logo, copyright statement, or other branding elements from your product or service.
115+
116+
- **Scenario 2: Avoidance of AGPLv3 Open Source Obligations**
117+
You have modified New API and wish to:
118+
- Offer it as a network service (SaaS) **without** disclosing your modifications' source code to your users.
119+
- Distribute a software product integrated with New API **without** releasing your product under AGPLv3 or open-sourcing the code.
120+
121+
- **Scenario 3: Enterprise Policy & Integration Needs**
122+
- Your organization’s policies, client contracts, or project requirements prohibit the use of AGPLv3-licensed software.
123+
- You require OEM integration and need to redistribute New API as part of your closed-source commercial product.
124+
125+
- **Scenario 4: Commercial Support and Assurances**
126+
You require commercial assurances not provided by AGPLv3, such as official technical support.
127+
128+
**Obtaining a Commercial License:**
129+
Please contact the New API team at [support@quantumnous.com](mailto:support@quantumnous.com) to discuss commercial licensing.
130+
131+
#### 3. Contributions
132+
133+
- Community contributions are welcome. All contributions (e.g., via Pull Request) are deemed to be provided under **AGPLv3**.
134+
- By submitting a contribution, you agree your code is licensed to this project and all downstream users under AGPLv3 (regardless of whether they ultimately operate under AGPLv3 or a Commercial License).
135+
- You also acknowledge your contribution may be included in Commercial License distributions of New API.
136+
137+
#### 4. Other Terms
138+
139+
- The specific terms, conditions, and pricing of the Commercial License are governed by a formal commercial license agreement executed by both parties.
140+
- Project maintainers reserve the right to update this licensing policy via official channels (e.g., repository, website).
