HexaPDF is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), an open source license. It allows you to use HexaPDF for free as long as you adhere to the license.

The AGPL puts some restrictions in place to make sure that the community benefits from changes to the code. For example, if you use HexaPDF in an application and distribute that application, you have to make the source code of the whole application available under the AGPL. The same applies if your application is used over a network.

If you want to use HexaPDF in a commercial setting, you need to purchase a commercial license.
