+# Commercial licence
+
+docier is dual-licensed. If the AGPL does not fit your use - because your
+product is proprietary, or because you run it as part of a network service whose
+source you do not want to publish - a commercial licence is available.
+
+## When you need one
+
+You need a commercial licence if you:
+
+- ship docier inside a closed-source application;
+- run docier as part of a hosted or SaaS product without publishing the
+  Corresponding Source of the covered work;
+- want to distribute docier as part of a proprietary SDK or platform;
+- need terms the AGPL cannot give you, such as an explicit warranty,
+  indemnification, or a support commitment.
+
+You do **not** need one to use docier in an open-source project under the AGPL,
+to evaluate it, or to use it in development and testing.
+
+## What a commercial licence gives you
+
+- Use in proprietary and closed network products, free of the AGPL's copyleft
+  obligations.
+- The right to keep your modifications private.
+- Terms in writing rather than implied, including any warranty and
+  indemnification you require.
+- Optionally, support and a security-contact commitment.
+
+## How to obtain one
+
+Contact the maintainer. Include what you are building, how docier would be
+distributed (bundled, hosted, or both), and roughly how many end users or
+deployments are involved - that is what the terms are usually sized against.
+
+## A note on the AGPL, so the choice is informed
+
+The AGPL is not a trap and it is not vague. It applies when users interact with
+the software over a network: at that point you must offer them the source of the
+covered work. It does not reach into unrelated software that merely sits beside
+docier, and it does not oblige you to publish anything if you are not
+distributing or serving the software at all.
+
+The dual licence exists because that obligation is fine for some projects and
+unworkable for others, and both are legitimate.

+docier is dual-licensed. You choose which licence applies to you.
+
+================================================================================
+1. OPEN SOURCE — GNU Affero General Public License, version 3
+================================================================================
+
+If your project is open source, or is otherwise compatible with a copyleft
+licence, you may use docier under the GNU Affero General Public License,
+version 3.0 only (AGPL-3.0-only). The full text is in LICENSE.AGPL-3.0 and at
+https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.txt
+
+The AGPL is a strong copyleft licence with one property that matters here: it
+covers use *over a network*. If you run docier as part of a service that users
+interact with remotely, the AGPL requires you to offer those users the
+Corresponding Source of the covered work. A plain GPL would not, which is why
+the AGPL is the licence used for this half of the dual licence.
+
+================================================================================
+2. COMMERCIAL — a commercial licence
+================================================================================
+
+If you want to use docier in a proprietary product, or in a network service
+whose source you do not wish to publish, the AGPL does not fit. A commercial
+licence is available that permits exactly that, without the copyleft
+obligations. See COMMERCIAL.md.
+
+You do not need a commercial licence to:
+  - use docier in an open-source project under the AGPL;
+  - evaluate docier, or use it in development and testing;
+  - read, study and modify the source for your own understanding.
+
+You do need one to ship docier inside a closed-source product or a closed
+network service.
+
+================================================================================
+3. CONTRIBUTIONS
+================================================================================
+
+Unless you state otherwise, any contribution you intentionally submit for
+inclusion in docier shall be licensed as above, without additional terms, so
+that the dual licence can continue to operate. A Contributor Licence Agreement
+may be introduced before the first external contribution is accepted.
