It is released under the BSD-3-Clause license, which is a permissive open source license that allows use, modification and redistribution of the software in both open and closed source projects with minimal restrictions. This means organizations can integrate Wagtail into proprietary systems, build custom extensions and even offer hosted services based on Wagtail without needing to release their own code under the same license, as long as the required copyright and license notices are preserved. For businesses wary of copyleft obligations, this permissive licensing model provides significant legal and commercial flexibility while making sure that the core CMS remains freely available to everyone. | |||
The project’s sponsorship mechanisms, including links to wagtail.org/sponsor and Open Collective, sit alongside this open licensing model to provide a way for organizations to financially support ongoing development without changing the freedoms granted by the license. Combined with a documented security policy and dedicated contact for vulnerability reporting, Wagtail’s governance and licensing approach shows a commitment to both community openness and professional standards, making it a solid foundation for long-term digital platforms where transparency, flexibility and legal clarity all matter. | |||
