License AGPL3.

Will not integrate with internal services.

https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/blob/main/LICENSE



Do you have a specific use-case in mind that this license is blocking?


Connect my CRM to an internal system.

Let's for example say it's an AI power assistant for the sake of memeing Iron Man. I want to be able tell openai to generate a function calling method that takes a json schema and inserts the code into "Twenty.com" for data retrieval.

You can construct an alternative scenario with a bank's financial data retrieval.

It's too hard to think through the recursive cases through a network when it's considered "linking" in the GPL3 sense.


I'm not a licensing expert but I know AGPL has a concept of derivative work that is somewhat blurry for me. We could argue this isn't core to the CRM (if specific to your company) and therefore not derivative work but I agree it's subjective and therefore not ideal.

I'm not entirely convinced we made the right choice. Considering your feedback and we will see in a few months what people want to build and if we should revisit.
