Ask HN: AGPL on a Code Generator App

1 points by nesu 11 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


I am building a commercial SaaS app that is a code generator. I noticed that one of the libraries needed on the generated code has an AGPL license.

Technically, the AGPL code is not 'run' on the server, but merely 'served' along with the rest of the generated code. However, somehow, it is possible to consider the code to be a 'part' of the entire software, since removing the AGPL code on the generator will make the generated code incomplete. The question is, am I allowed to use this library on the code generator?
