Hi, I want to host cal.com for clients for money (i.e. I want to use cal.com for commercial purposes). It is very unclear to me whether this would be possible. Cal is apparently licensed under the AGPL, but I've learned that the Stripe code is not distributed under a free license, for example. And upon trying to create an account, I've learned that the signup page is also distributed under a non-free license. Would I be able to host this for a client with the source currently available on the
master
branch, or do I need to go through the source and strip out all the non-free parts? If so, is there a comprehensive list of these non-free parts or is that something I'm going to have to figure out myself? Like a community edition? This isn't the kind of work I can do for no money if a client wants this system setup and can't do it themselves.

For this you would need to purchase a license (cal.com/pricing?infra)
The core of the code is free and open source but certain commercial features like Stripe are part of the enterprise license

After a closer look, these are the features that seem to be proprietary: • the create an account page • the API • Stripe integration I think people would really appreciate that you detail somewhere which features of cal are proprietary. It wasn't until I'd spent several hours getting cal setup that I learned all of this. The Github page mentions the enterprise license only in passing, saying that the AGPL requires you to pass on the freedoms cal offers users, and that the enterprise license is used for selling exceptions. I was under the impression that cal.com was dual-licensed with the AGPL and Cal EL, and that was the extent of the relationship.
