+# Commercial License
+
+`salesdock` is **dual-licensed**. By default it is distributed under the
+[GNU Affero General Public License v3.0](LICENSE) (AGPL-3.0). A **commercial
+license** is available from **Risker** for organizations that cannot, or do not
+wish to, comply with the AGPL.
+
+This document summarizes the commercial option and how to obtain it. It is **not**
+the contract itself and is **not legal advice** — the executed commercial license
+agreement governs.
+
+---
+
+## Do I need a commercial license?
+
+The AGPL is a strong copyleft license. You very likely need a commercial license
+if **any** of the following apply:
+
+- You include `salesdock` (modified or unmodified) in a **proprietary or
+  closed-source** application or product.
+- You run a **network service / SaaS** built on `salesdock` and do **not** want to
+  release the complete corresponding source code of that service to its users
+  (AGPL-3.0 §13 requires exactly that).
+- You **distribute** a product that links to or bundles `salesdock` and cannot
+  release your product under the AGPL.
+- Your organization's policy **prohibits AGPL** (or copyleft) dependencies.
+
+You do **not** need a commercial license if you use `salesdock` purely under the
+AGPL — e.g. in your own AGPL/GPL-licensed open-source project, or for internal
+evaluation — and you meet the AGPL's obligations.
+
+> If you are unsure whether your use triggers the AGPL, assume it does and talk to
+> us — it's usually cheaper than a compliance problem later.
+
+## What the commercial license grants
+
+A commercial license is a private, perpetual-for-the-version (or subscription,
+depending on the plan) grant that:
+
+- Permits use of `salesdock` in **proprietary, closed-source** software and in
+  hosted services **without** the AGPL's source-disclosure obligations.
+- Removes the copyleft requirements of AGPL-3.0 §13 and §5 for your covered use.
+- May, depending on the plan, include **priority support**, a defined **SLA**,
+  and **warranty / indemnification** terms.
+
+The exact scope (number of developers, products, deployments, term, support
+level) is set out in your agreement.
+
+## Pricing
+
+Commercial licenses are quoted per organization. Typical structures:
+
+- **Per-organization annual subscription** — unlimited internal developers, with
+  updates and support for the term.
+- **Per-product / per-deployment** — for vendors embedding the SDK in a shipped
+  product.
+- **Custom** — for resellers, agencies, or high-volume / OEM use.
+
+Contact us for a quote tailored to your use.
