## Important Notice on Third-Party Components
|
||||
|
||||
::: warning AGPL Components
|
||||
This software includes components licensed under the **GNU AGPL v3**, such as CPDF.
|
||||
::: warning AGPL Components - Not Bundled
|
||||
BentoPDF **does not bundle** AGPL-licensed processing libraries. The following components are loaded separately by users who configure them via **Advanced Settings**:
|
||||
|
||||
- This commercial license **does not** grant rights to use AGPL components in a closed-source manner.
|
||||
- Users must comply with the AGPL v3 terms for these components.
|
||||
- Source code for all AGPL components is included in the distribution.

|
||||
| **Ghostscript** | AGPL-3.0 | Not bundled - user configured |
|
||||
| **CoherentPDF** | AGPL-3.0 | Not bundled - user configured |
|
||||
|
||||
**Why are AGPL binaries not included?**
|
||||
|
||||
To maintain clear legal separation, BentoPDF does not distribute AGPL-licensed binaries. Users who need features powered by these libraries can:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure their own WASM sources in Advanced Settings
|
||||
2. Host their own WASM proxy to serve these files
|
||||
3. Use any compatible CDN that hosts these packages
|
||||
|
||||
This approach ensures:
|
||||
|
||||
- BentoPDF's core code remains under its dual-license (AGPL-3.0 / Commercial)
|
||||
- Users make an informed choice when enabling AGPL features
|
||||
- Clear compliance boundaries for commercial users

|

|
||||
::: tip Commercial License & AGPL Features
|
||||
The commercial license covers BentoPDF's own code. If you configure and use AGPL components (PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, CoherentPDF), you must still comply with their respective AGPL-3.0 license terms, which may require source code disclosure if you distribute modified versions.

### How to Configure WASM Sources
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Advanced Settings** in the BentoPDF interface
|
||||
2. Enter the URLs for the WASM modules you want to use
|
||||
3. You can use:
|
||||
- Your own hosted WASM files
|
||||
- A [WASM proxy](/self-hosting/cors-proxy) you deploy (handles CORS)
|
||||
- Any compatible CDN hosting these packages
|
||||
|
||||
### Hosting Your Own WASM Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to serve AGPL WASM files with proper CORS headers, you can deploy a simple proxy. See the [Cloudflare WASM Proxy guide](https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf/blob/main/cloudflare/WASM-PROXY.md) for an example implementation.

- Users make informed choices when enabling AGPL features

- BentoPDF's core remains under its dual-license (AGPL-3.0 / Commercial)
