Clarification on redistributing Document Builder 8.2 binaries

PDF
1

hello ONLYOFFICE team,

I am developing an independent open-source Python package for Document Builder
8.2.0.143. The package uses a neutral name, does not use ONLYOFFICE branding,
and is not presented as an official product.

It would include the unmodified runtime extracted from these official GitHub
Release assets:

  • docbuilder_x64.exe
  • onlyoffice-documentbuilder_amd64.deb
  • onlyoffice-documentbuilder_arm64.deb

Release:

The Python wrapper, packaging code and corresponding source would be published
under AGPL-3.0. Original copyright and license notices would be preserved.

Could an authorized ONLYOFFICE representative please confirm:

  1. May these v8.2.0 precompiled assets be redistributed under AGPL-3.0?
  2. May their unmodified runtime files be included in public PyPI Wheels?
  3. Does this permission include PyPI mirrors and downstream redistribution?
  4. Is this permission permanent and irrevocable while AGPL requirements are
    followed?

This question concerns only the official v8.2.0 precompiled assets, not later
watermarked versions.

Thank you

Hello @rick, sorry for the late reply.

  1. Redistribution under AGPL
    Yes. The AGPL permits redistribution of both the source code and unmodified compiled files of ONLYOFFICE Document Builder v8.2.0, provided that the applicable license requirements are met.

  2. Distribution via PyPI Wheels
    This also applies to the compiled files when they are included, unmodified, in public PyPI Wheels.

  3. PyPI mirrors and downstream redistribution
    The AGPL rights also apply to distribution through PyPI mirrors and subsequent downstream redistribution. Under Section 10 of the AGPL, recipients automatically receive the applicable license rights without needing to obtain separate permission from ONLYOFFICE for each redistribution.Please note that the corresponding source code for the distributed files must remain available as required by the AGPL.

  4. Duration and irrevocability
    The rights granted under the AGPL apply for the duration of the applicable copyright and are irrevocable provided that the license terms are complied with. In the event of a license violation, however, the applicable rights may terminate in accordance with Section 8 of the AGPL.

Please also note that:

  • All applicable copyright and license notices must be preserved.
  • Any components distributed under separate licenses remain subject to their respective license terms and requirements.
  • No rights to the ONLYOFFICE trademarks are granted by the AGPL.
