Why the AGPL and not something more permissive
A permissive licence would let someone take this work, run it as a paid service, and give nothing back — including the improvements they made to it. The AGPL closes that: if you run a modified version as a network service for other people, you have to offer those users the source of your version. Not just if you distribute the binary — if you let strangers use it over a network.
That is the whole point. This was given to the tabletop community; the licence makes sure it stays given.
What it means for you, concretely
- Playing with it at your table: nothing changes, do as you like.
- Self-hosting it for your friends: fine. If you did not modify the code, there is nothing to publish.
- Self-hosting a modified version for other people: you must make your changes available to those people, under the same licence.
- Your campaign content is not covered by this licence at all. The licence governs the software. Your sessions, transcripts and world remain yours, and we claim nothing over them.
