Licences

What	Licence	Decided in
WeaveSignal’s code: every crate, script, configuration file and the documentation site’s own code	AGPL-3.0-only (AGPL-3.0-only), without “or later”; the text is LICENSE	ADR-0073
The documentation’s text and images, on this site and in llms.txt, screenshots and state pictures included	Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC-BY-SA-4.0)	ADR-0081
Code samples and snippets inside the documentation: commands, settings files, code blocks	AGPL-3.0-only, as the code is	ADR-0081
Translations of the documentation	the same licences as the original	ADR-0081

The repository is REUSE-compliant: every file carries its licence and copyright in a header, or in REUSE.toml when it cannot carry one (lock files, JSON, pictures, these pages). just reuse-check checks it, and it is part of just ci. The licence texts are in the repository’s LICENSES/ folder.

Other people’s work in the repository

Each keeps its own licence; NOTICES.md in the repository records where each comes from.

The Podcast Taxonomy and the Podcasting 2.0 schema, in the feeds crate	CC0-1.0

Software WeaveSignal runs beside its own

LiveKit, Liquidsoap, GStreamer, PostgreSQL and the rest run as their own processes or libraries, unmodified, each under its own licence; NOTICES.md lists each with the version tested. Every Rust crate the workspace depends on is under a licence on deny.toml’s list, and just licences checks it.
