Maybe I want to keep my software under a permissive license? AGPL would also infect my code, no? And what if we're talking about proprietary code that doesn't have much to do with Grafana and only uses it for monitoring?



If you're only using Grafana, but not modifying it and re-distributing it, then the AGPL places no obligation on you.

You only have to license your own software as AGPL if it is a derivative work of another AGPL licensed program.


Thanks. Misunderstanding by me. I got the term "linking" wrong.


You can keep your software under a permissive license, as long as you ship it under the GPL.


You mean in binary form?


Your software will be effectively dual-licensed.
