License

AGPL-3.0, across all three repositories.

Keru OS, kama, and kama-packages are licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). The full license text ships as LICENSE in each repository.

What that means, briefly

  • Freedom to use. Build, install, and run Keru on anything you like.
  • Freedom to study and modify. Source is available everywhere; it always has been — that's Keru's whole point.
  • Freedom to share. Redistribute copies (modified or not) under the same license.
  • Network use counts. If you modify Keru's software and offer it to users over a network, the AGPL requires you to offer the modified source — the "Affero" addition.

Derivative distributions welcome

Keru deliberately doesn't forbid forking or remixing. If another distribution wants to build on Keru — take the installer, the pipeline, the philosophy — it's welcome, under the AGPL. That's consistent with the ethos: the pieces are yours to assemble.

About this website

This site lives in its own repository (github.com/AstralZX/keru), and is covered by the same AGPL-3.0. The design, copy, and markup are free to reuse under it.

License texts live in each repo root. The canonical document is the file, not this page.
