FSL-1.1-ALv2 is a source-available license: the code is readable and forkable from day one, with a defined, time-limited restriction that is intended to lapse automatically on a fixed future date. `tool-accounting` is licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later. AGPL-3.0-or-later is a copyleft license: the source code is available to everyone, and any modified version — including one operated as a network service — must be released under the same license if it is distributed or made available over a network. A separate PointSav-Commercial license is available as a paid alternative for anyone who needs to distribute a modified version, or offer it as a network service, without that copyleft obligation. **Why it matters:** a lender or an owner's own engineer can read and audit the full source before deciding whether to trust it — the code is not a black box behind a paywall.
