3. Network use and source offer

AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license designed for network server software. If you modify PearDock and let others interact with it over a computer network, AGPL requires that you offer those users the corresponding source code of your modified version under AGPL-3.0 (see AGPL §13). Operators running modified servers or combined distributions should review the full License carefully.

Redistributions must preserve copyright notices, license notices, and disclaimers as required by AGPL-3.0.

4. Third-party components

PearDock depends on third-party libraries and tools (for example Holepunch stack components, Docker client libraries, Electron, and others). Each dependency is governed by its own license as declared in its package metadata or upstream repository. Operators redistributing combined builds should review dependency licenses and generate an SBOM as appropriate for their compliance process.

Project documentation may reference an SBOM or dependency inventory (for example docs/SBOM.md in the source tree) for operator convenience; that inventory may evolve over time.

5. Holesail

Peer-to-peer port tunneling uses Holesail, which is also licensed under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). PearDock’s primary license matches Holesail so the project and its required tunnel stack share the same AGPL-3.0 family.

See product docs: Holesail tunnels.

6. Source availability

Source code is published at the project repository (currently git.ssh.surf/snxraven/peardock). Installers at install.peardock.boats may distribute prebuilt binaries corresponding to published releases (including the rolling channel).
