43 distinct licences across the 1,346 tools Repoly tracks. A licence decides what you may do with the code once you self-host it, so it is worth checking before you commit. Tools carrying more than one licence appear under each, which is why the counts below add up to more than 1,346.

Copyleft
Free to use and modify, but derivative works must ship under the same licence. AGPL extends that obligation to software offered over a network.
Source-available
The source can be read, but the licence restricts commercial use or hosting. These are not open-source licences by the OSI definition.
Other
Licences that do not fall cleanly into the families above, or that upstream did not record precisely.
Licence strings come from awesome-selfhosted-data and are reproduced as recorded upstream. They are a starting point, not legal advice. Always read the licence in the repository before relying on it.
