As a special exception to the AGPLv3, the copyright holders of FormicOS grant you permission to modify the software and interact with it remotely through a computer network (e.g., as a SaaS) WITHOUT the obligation to distribute the corresponding source code under Section 13, PROVIDED THAT you meet at least one of the following criteria:

If your organization exceeds the $1,000,000 USD revenue threshold, this exception automatically terminates. At that point, you must either fully comply with the source-sharing requirements of Section 13 of the AGPLv3, or obtain a separate Commercial License from the copyright holder.
