Choosing a license

Choosing a license for your work is very important, and you should carefully consider which is the best choice for you, and its implications. The most-used licenses for Odoo modules are version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and the Affero General Public License (AGPL).

The LGPL is more permissive and allows commercial modifications, without the need to share the corresponding source code.

The AGPL is a stronger open source license, and requires derivative work and service-hosting to share the source code.
