The compiled binary is.

The source code is... AGPL licensed? But not the admin tools. They seem to be licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Yeah, good luck. Contact your lawyer.

Why? The intent seems pretty clear and they're legally allowed to do this because all contributors signed a CLA.

Explain please. This interests me and I'm extremely curious about what you mean.

  • Combining source code under different licenses into one product is a nightmare.

    You have to follow the AGPL "no additional restrictions" clause while also following the Apache License, and the Apache License might have require you to follow additional restrictions.

    • Honestly this has never been an issue for me, sure I have had to explain the limits of the licenses and check that I understand them. I guess it depends on your use case, so I am still uncertain when this has become a problem for you.
