### Licensing

The service code is licensed under the MIT license. WeasyPrint, the underlying PDF generator
90-
library, is licensed under the BSD license. The prebuilt container image contains a variety of
91-
licenses, including GPLv2 and GPLv3 code.

Currently, the image also contains AGPLv3 code, through the use of poppler for visual integration
94-
tests. Poppler is not involved in generating PDFs, it's just included for the integration testing
95-
suite. I hope to remove the testing dependencies from the production image in the future.

After consulting [an article][container-os-article-1] about GPL licensing in containers, I think
98-
this should not cause issues for stacks that use this container image in a closed source context,
99-
as long as the image is [not modified][stackoverflow-aGPL-modified]. If it is modified, you should
100-
look further into licensing requirements, although adding fonts shouldn't be a problem. From
101-
my understanding, the affero clause is not triggered here, since the user is not interacting with
102-
poppler at all.
