Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: Can I use Chameleon for free?​

Yes. If your project complies with the AGPL-3.0 license terms, you can use Chameleon completely free of charge. This includes:

  • Open-source projects released under a compatible license
  • Internal tools and applications within your organization
  • Projects where you are willing to open-source your modifications

Q: What happens if I use Chameleon under AGPL-3.0 in a SaaS product?​

Under AGPL-3.0, if you offer Chameleon (or a modified version of it) as a network service (SaaS), you must make the complete corresponding source code available to your users upon request. This is the key difference between AGPL-3.0 and GPL-3.0 — the network use provision.

If this is not acceptable for your business, you should purchase a Commercial License.

Q: Can I switch from AGPL-3.0 to a Commercial License later?​

Yes. You can purchase a Commercial License at any time. Once purchased, the Commercial License terms will replace your AGPL-3.0 obligations going forward.

Q: Who owns the intellectual property of Chameleon?​

All intellectual property rights of Chameleon belong to Camaleon Co., Ltd. The AGPL-3.0 license grants you the right to use, modify, and distribute the software under its terms, but it does not transfer ownership of the original codebase.
