GPL is not included in the list of 'permissive' licenses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_software_license).

Whether we agree with this statement or not, many large organisations do not allow GPL licensed products to be run on their infrastructure.

I'm in this situation - I would like to use SafeLine but cannot.

Is it possible to dual-license SafeLine with a permissive license (BSD, MIT, Apache2) ?

That’s a valid concern, and we understand why many companies prefer permissive licenses.

For many users, SafeLine is used in a deployment-only scenario (without redistribution or integration into proprietary products), which typically does not trigger the copyleft obligations of the GPL.

And we offer commercial license on our website: https://safepoint.cloud/landing/safeline
