AGPL-3.0

Free software, in the strict sense.

Run it, study it, change it, share it. Cataloguing a collection with qrate creates no obligation to anyone.

Always yours
Download and run it, at any scale.
Read and modify the source.
Share copies with colleagues.
Keep your own data, always.
If you distribute changes
Ship your source under AGPL-3.0.
Same if you offer it over a network.
Contributors keep their copyright.
No CLA, no assignment.

Institutional use is unrestricted

An archive, library, museum or university can run qrate on any number of machines, for any collection, without payment or permission. The license governs distribution of the software, not use of it.

Commercial licensing

If the AGPL does not fit your case, ask. The copyright holder can license their own work separately; other contributors would need to agree for theirs.
