# JUCE breaking changes

# Version 8.0.0

## Change

The [JUCE End User Licence Agreement](https://juce.com/legal/juce-8-licence/)
has been updated and all JUCE modules are now dual-licensed under the AGPLv3 and
the JUCE licence. Previously the juce_audio_basics, juce_audio_devices,
juce_core and juce_events modules were licensed under the ISC licence.

Please read the End User Licence Agreement for full details.

**Possible Issues**

There may be new restrictions on how you can use JUCE.

**Workaround**

N/A

**Rationale**

The new JUCE End User Licence Agreement is much easier to understand, and has a
much more generous personal tier. The move from ISC to AGPLv3/JUCE simplifies
the licensing situation and encourages the creation of more open source software
without impacting personal use of the JUCE framework.

# The JUCE Library

**BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR USING ANY PART OF THE JUCE LIBRARY, YOU AGREE
TO THE [JUCE 7 END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT](https://www.juce.com/juce-7-licence)
AND THE [JUCE PRIVACY POLICY](https://www.juce.com/juce-privacy-policy), WHICH
ARE BINDING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND RAW MATERIAL SOFTWARE LIMITED. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE JUCE LIBRARY.**

JUCE has tier-leveled license terms, with different terms for each available
license: JUCE Personal (for developers or startup businesses with revenue under
the 50K USD Revenue Limit; free), JUCE Indie (for small businesses with under
500K USD Revenue Limit; $40/month), JUCE Pro (no Revenue Limit; $130/month),
and JUCE Educational (no Revenue Limit; free for bona fide educational
institutions). All licenses allow you to commercially release applications as
long as you do not exceed the Revenue Limit and pay the applicable Fees. Once
your business hits the Revenue Limit for your JUCE license tier, to continue
distributing your Applications you will either have to upgrade your JUCE
license, or instead release your Applications under the
[GNU General Public License v.3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html),
which means, amongst other things, that you must make the source code of your
Applications available.

JUCE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED.

The juce_audio_basics, juce_audio_devices, juce_core and juce_events modules
are permissively licensed under the terms of the [ISC
license](http://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/isc-license).
