       | Candid Public License (CPL) is a modified version of the GNU
       | Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL). It's intent is to

       | or operates work covered by the CPL, or negotiate a separate
       | license for the work.
       | 
       | The AGPL was originally created to help users of Software-as-a-
       | Service (SaaS) receive the source code for modified works as the
       | GNU General Public License (GPL) did not qualify network
       | interaction as distribution.
       | 
       | The CPL builds upon the AGPL to create an infectious copyleft
       | requirement for all software that depends upon the work or
       | builds/operates the work. For organizations that are already
       | source available, this change shouldn't impact them. For other
       | organizations, they will need to release the source code for the
       | dependent software. They may also negotiate a separate license to
       | use the work.
