This repository is dual-licensed:
-
Open-source: AGPL-3.0-only. If your project is itself AGPL-compatible, this is what you want.
-
Commercial: Imazen offers a paid commercial license for use in closed-source products. Two separate tracks apply, depending on the crate:
Standard Imazen commercial license — covers the GPU implementations Imazen authored from scratch for this repository, the test corpus, and the unified CLI. Contact
support@imazen.iofor terms.dssim-gpuis a CubeCL port of the algorithm shipped by the upstreamdssim/dssim-corecrates by Kornel Lesiński. Imazen authored the GPU port itself, but the underlying algorithm and the parity-validation reference are Pornel's. As a result, commercial use ofdssim-gpurequires both:- An Imazen commercial license for the GPU port code, AND
- An upstream commercial license from Pornel for the underlying DSSIM algorithm.
Both can be arranged via
support@imazen.io; we coordinate the upstream license alongside ours. This is the same pattern Imazen uses for any port whose root algorithm carries a third-party copyright.
If you're not sure which track applies, ask support@imazen.io.
