| GPL or AGPL |  | - we can use this if we do not ship it (e.g. within testing)
- we can use it if the GPL code is only called via sockets or pipes (meaning the code of GPL is not used within the same process)
- If we use GPL please ensure that you note down why this is legally possible for us.
| GPL based licenses use a strong copyleft that necessitate that as soon as you create a derivative work, this needs to be licensed GPL as well. |
