For business
For print farms, production shops and teams where an outage costs more than a support contract.
AGPL‑3.0 No seat or printer fees Replies from the maintainer
Bambuddy is licensed under the AGPL-3.0. If you run it inside your own business — one printer or an entire floor of them — you owe us nothing. No seat count, no per-printer fee, no licence to buy. That is not a trial or a loophole; it is the licence, and it is not going to change.
So this page is not asking you to pay for permission. It is offering the things an open-source licence cannot give you: someone accountable when a print farm stops printing, a licence that covers redistribution if you need one, and time from the person who wrote the software.
Three things the licence cannot give you. Everything else stays free.
A named contact and an agreed response time, instead of a queue position behind everyone else's GitHub issue.
Invoiced, with VAT. Annual or per-incident.
Only relevant if you intend to redistribute Bambuddy — ship it on an appliance, resell it, or build it into a product you hand to customers. The AGPL's copyleft terms would otherwise apply to what you ship.
If you only run it internally, you do not need this.
Getting a large fleet onto Bambuddy cleanly, or building the part of it that your operation needs and the community version does not have.
Scoped and quoted per project.
Tell us how many printers you run and what you need. You will get a reply from the person who maintains the software, not a sales team — because there isn't one.
