Message   LWN.net    All   FSF clarifies its stance on AGPLv3 additional terms   April 16, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

OnlyOffice CEO Lev Bannov has recently
claimed that the Euro-Office fork of the
OnlyOffice suite violates the GNU Affero General Public License
version�3 (AGPLv3). Krzysztof Siewicz of the Free Software
Foundation (FSF) has published
an article on the FSF's position on adding terms to the AGPLv3. In
short, Siewicz concludes that OnlyOffice has added restrictions to
the license that are not compatible with the AGPLv3, and those
restrictions can be removed by recipients of the code.

We urge OnlyOffice to clarify the situation by making it unambiguous
that OnlyOffice is licensed under the AGPLv3, and that users who
already received copies of the software are allowed to remove any
further restrictions. Additionally, if they intend to continue to use
the AGPLv3 for future releases, they should state clearly that the
program is licensed under the AGPLv3 and make sure they remove any
further restrictions from their program documentation and source
code. Confusing users by attaching further restrictions to any of the
FSF's family of GNU General Public Licenses is not in line with free
software.
