I am not a lawyer so nothing i say can be taken as legal advice, but my understanding is that your application needs to use the GNU Affero General Public License if it uses PyMuPDF.

@Manjusmnr - I think we can close the issue, correct?

@julian-smith-artifex-com - I think we can close this, or may be there is some value in transferring the issue to the Discussions tab ... under a new topic like "licensing"?

I should have mentioned that PyMuPDF is also available under a commercial license from Artifex.

The full information about licensing is at: https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html#license-and-copyright

[@JorjMcKie You're right about moving this to Discussions, i'll do this now. And maybe close it soon unless there are more comments.]
