What This Means
AGENT-11 is open source under the MIT License, which means you can:
- Use it commercially
- Modify the source code
- Distribute it, modified or not
- Sublicense it as part of something larger
- Use it privately
There is one requirement, and it is the whole of it:
- Keep the copyright notice and the licence text with any copy you distribute
You do not have to state your changes, publish your source, pay anything, or ask permission. The software comes with no warranty, as the text above says.
There Is No Paid Tier
Everything is under the licence above. There is no premium edition, no hosted service, no enterprise agreement and no support contract to buy — what is in the repository is the whole product. If you want to support the work, that is what Buy Me a Coffee is for, and it is entirely voluntary.
Third-Party Dependencies
The framework itself is markdown and shell scripts, not a compiled package, so it bundles no third-party code. Its development dependencies are listed in package.json in the repository, each under its own licence. Running AGENT-11 requires Claude Code, which is Anthropic's and covered by their terms.
Contributing
