LibreTranslate license

Hello! I have a question about license.
It might be dumb, but still.

My question is can i use LibreTranslate commercially? I’m installing it locally and then use it for something like translating a text and then sell this text, for example as a book on Amazon. Or to be a commercial translator and use libretranslate for my work, is it possible?
Of course i’m gonna edit the output.

I don’t have any plans of modifications of the software itself or using software as a part of some kind of a service.

Thanks in advance!

PS. I have another question about installation. So i’m not really a tecnical user, never heard of pip before.

But when i’m trying to install Libre with latest Python i get an error, something with a word suproccess, unfortunately i don’t remember exactly. I used an older Python and installed it! So i got it to work, i’m just curious how it’s working.

Hi, yes you can use LibreTranslate for commercial purposes. LibreTranslate/LICENSE at main · LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate · GitHub

Newer versions of Python might require some library dependencies to be rebuilt/compiled for that newer version of Python. If the proper tools are not installed, the installation will fail.

Thank you very much for your answer!

So i’ll keep all copyright rights on input and output texts as well? I just want to clarify everithing.

The LibreTranslate software itself is licensed under the AGPL license. I believe any text you the user generates using the software you own the copyright to assuming you already owned the copyright to the input text.
