==== Free Software ====

[[SavaPage:About|SavaPage]] is a Free Print Portal Solution that uses Open Standards and Commodity Hardware for Secure [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_printing|Pull-Printing]], Pay-Per-Print, Delegated Print, Job Ticketing, Auditing and PDF Creation.

SavaPage is [[https://opensource.org/| OSI Certified Open Source Software]]: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the [[https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html|GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL)]] as published by the [[https://www.fsf.org|Free Software Foundation]], either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The installation binary and user manual are available for **[[software_packages|download]]**.

==== Business Model ====

Although SavaPage is [[https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.html|Free Software]], it is not a "free" product. Free software is a matter of //liberty//, not price, and SavaPage fits into this picture by being a Libre solution supported by [[subscription|Software Subscription]].

[[https://www.datraverse.com|Datraverse]] acts as [[Legal|Legal Steward]] and is committed to a //sustainable// and //fair// business model where Community [[Roles#Partner|Partners]] and [[Roles#Translator|Translators]] deliver the solution to [[Roles#Resident|Resident]] members.
Residents are subscription holders entitled to vote for features and use ready-to-install [[Software_Packages|Software Packages]] as published by Datraverse in corporation with [[Roles:Development_Partner_Profile|Development Partners]]. 

Datraverse ensures that subscription revenues are shared among Development Partners and Translators proportional to their efforts.
In addition, [[Roles:Deployment_Partner_Profile|Deployment Partners]] deploy the software solution to Residents, and offer services like on-site installation and support, on their own account as independent third-party.
