Pony ORM - Use Pure Python to Speak to Your Data

unfortunately the confusing licensing circumstances will probably hamper some of the interest in this.

i'm not opposed to commercial licensing, it's just that the existing combination of options doesn't offer clear legal guarantees.

if you go to the website, the split-licensing is apparent - yet has issues with, what seems like, improper use of Creative Commons licensing.

if you go to the github repo, the only license presented is AGPLv3.

are people who find the repo on github directly at risk of violating the license?

Thanks for pointing this out, we are working on the licensing part now. We are not going to put anyone at risk of the licence misuse. Eventually we are going to have a multiple licensing model allow using Pony ORM for free for non-commercial and open source projects, but in the same provide a commercial license as well.

Nope, why? Using it under AGPL is a valid option.
