This move is coupled with an &ldquo;agent-first workflow&rdquo; for contributions, positioning Warp as a pioneering force in collaborative, AI-powered developer tooling. The source code is now publicly available on GitHub under a nuanced licensing model that fosters community involvement while safeguarding its innovative core.</p> <h3 id="licensing-model-agplv3-for-client-mit-for-ui-framework">Licensing Model: AGPLv3 for Client, MIT for UI Framework</h3> <p>Warp&rsquo;s client codebase is now available on GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPLv3). This strong copyleft license ensures that anyone who modifies and distributes the Warp client, or makes it available over a network, must also release the source code of their modifications under the AGPLv3. For developers, this means full transparency and the freedom to audit, inspect, and modify the core terminal application. It guarantees that improvements and forks building upon the AGPLv3-licensed client will similarly benefit the broader open-source community, preventing proprietary derivatives from being built directly on the client without contributing back.</p>
