CUZY modules are dual-licensed. Choose the commercial license for one-click installation and updates through the HumHub marketplace, or the GNU AGPL v3 to install from source with manual updates.
Commercial license effective since September 2020, version 2.0 since 8 October 2026. Referenced by the license header of every CUZY module.
The two versions of the commercial license
Version 1.0, 1 September 2020: governs the licenses bought before 8 October 2026 and not renewed since. A licensee may opt in to version 2.0 by email.
Version 2.0, 8 October 2026: governs every purchase and renewal made on CUZY.app from that date, under Irish law. One license key per installation, annual or lifetime maintenance, bugs fixed within 14 days of a reproducible report.
Option A: commercial license
Grant
The licensee may install and use the module on one HumHub installation, for its own use or for a customer, for an unlimited time.
The licensee may adjust and change the software to its needs.
The licensee may develop extensions (modules, themes, integrations) that use the module and distribute them under any license, including commercial ones.
The license is transferable to another party once, with written notice to CUZY.
Restrictions
No sub-licensing, resale or distribution of the module or of copies to third parties.
No extraction of components for standalone use outside HumHub.
One license per installation; multi-instance deployments need one license each or a written agreement.
The license terminates immediately if these restrictions are breached.
Updates and support
For most modules the purchase includes twelve months of updates through the HumHub marketplace and of support; renewal at the published price extends both. Some modules are sold once with lifetime updates. A module keeps working after the update period ends. Details are in the terms of service.
Warranty
The software is provided as is; error-free operation cannot be guaranteed. CUZY corrects defects through updates or workarounds within the support period. Liability is limited as described in the terms of service.
Option B: GNU Affero General Public License v3
Every CUZY module's source code is public on GitHub. Anyone may install a module from source under the AGPL v3, free of charge, with these practical consequences:
Installation and every update are manual: files and database migrations.
Modified source code deployed on a server accessible to others must be made available to them, as the AGPL requires.
No support is included; issues on GitHub are welcome.
Donations help fund maintenance and are appreciated.
