Hi k6 licensing is AGPLv3. So are we allowed to use it as an internal performance testing tool if we are SaaS ? This does not involved packaging/redistributing the code or will be part of the deployment of the SaaS service. This information is crucial for us to choose k6.

Hi @vkolgi . Thank you for asking. You and I already cleared this up earlier over Slack but I’ll post here as well as this community forum is more public.

Are load testing scripts (javascript scripts which import http from 'k6/http'; ), do they need to be release with AGPL as well? Does that count as “dynamically linking”?
