Watch

The app and the client package are under AGPL-3.0-or-later, the server under SSPL-1.0, as decided for before the first publish: the server builds on Serverpod's core, which is SSPL, while the app links only BSD-3 packages and the client is generated from our own models. "Or later" keeps the code compatible with future AGPL versions without asking every contributor. Each package carries the official text in its LICENSE (from gnu.org and the SPDX licence data) and a notice in its README; LICENSE.md explains the split and covers the files outside the packages.

CONTRIBUTING.md: contributions come under the licence of the package they change, with no copyright assignment; every commit carries a Signed-off-by certifying the Developer Certificate of Origin, quoted verbatim; tool/check.sh runs before pushes.

Licences

Contributions are accepted under the licence of the package they change (see LICENSE.md): AGPL-3.0-or-later for the app and the client, SSPL-1.0 for the server. There is no copyright assignment and no contributor licence agreement: every contributor keeps the copyright of their work.

Sign-off

Every commit carries a Signed-off-by line with your name and email address. With it you certify the Developer Certificate of Origin below: that you wrote the change, or otherwise have the right to submit it under the package's licence. git commit -s adds the line.

Before you push

tool/check.sh runs the format check, the analyzer and every test that doesn't need a running server. In a fresh clone, ln -s ../../tool/check.sh .git/hooks/pre-push makes every push run it. How the code is organised, and the rules it follows, are in AGENTS.md.
