## Why use Docs ❓

⚠️ **If you plan to deploy Docs in production**, please remove the [docs/pdf exporters](https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/blob/main/src/frontend/apps/impress/package.json#L22C7-L23C53) or sponsor [BlockNote](https://www.blocknotejs.org). Docs 2.7.0 will update this repository so that it does not provide these packages by default, while making it easy to require them if needed.

Multiple things :

  • I don't understand why it should not be possible to deploy this application in production because there are AGPL code in it. In that case a consequent part of the internet should be shutdown for using code with AGPL license. Only project built on top with a commercial/proprietary usage should not. And the commercial part is not because we use a lib with AGPL but because the library editor doesn't allow it.
  • Removing the libraries will break the application, it will be not possible anymore to build the front application.

I suggest instead to add a warning saying that there are AGPL code in the application so it's not possible to use it in a proprietary application and add a list with all licenses used in the project.

Then we will see how to remove them by providing a separate package providing the exports feature. And I can't tell you in which version it will be made.

Docs is a collaborative text editor designed to address common challenges in knowledge building and sharing.
