+
    +
  • + + No license key is required or provided. + Kura intentionally does not use license keys, to + streamline deployment and reduce operational + friction. +
    • +
  • + + Upon purchase you receive a ZIP archive containing the + complete Kura source code. +
    • +
  • + + Because Kura is open source, every release and every + update can always be downloaded from our + GitHub releases page. +
    • +
  • + + The source code provided is identical to the code + published in our public open-source repository. +
    • +
  • + + No refunds. Under no + circumstances shall a refund be made after purchase. +

+ Every tier lets you ship Kura inside one closed-source product. + The tiers differ by who you are, how many developers you have, + and whether Kura is passed on to anyone else. +

+ License + Terms +

+
+
+
+
+ +

Per product

+

+ A license covers one shipped product. A second product needs a + second license, or ask about covering your whole catalogue at + OEM. +

+
+
+ +

Updates included

+

+ Every release published while your license is active is yours. + If you let it lapse, you keep a perpetual right to the last + version you received. +

+
+
+ +

No AGPL obligations

+

+ The commercial license replaces the AGPL for your product. You + ship closed source, with no requirement to publish your changes + or your application. +

+
+
+ +

Clean provenance

+

+ Kura is written and owned by BentoPDF, and every third-party + component it links, including qpdf, PDFium and FreeType, is + permissively licensed. No copyleft surprises in your supply + chain. +

+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+
+
+

+ Frequently Asked + Questions +

+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+

+ Only if you ship Kura inside closed-source software. + Open-source projects under an AGPL-compatible license, + self-hosting, and internal use are all free under the + AGPL-3.0. +

+
+
+
+ +
+

+ No. Kura is a separate project with its own license. The + BentoPDF app license does not grant any rights to Kura, and + a Kura license does not cover BentoPDF. +

+
+
+
+ +
+

+ You move up to the matching tier at your next renewal. + Nothing retroactive. Growing past a threshold mid-term never + invalidates your current license. +

+
