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).

+
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.
- 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
+

+
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.

+
