When NOT to use heretic
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project cannot comply with the AGPL-3.0 license, as it mandates that any derivative works must also be open source.
- When you are looking for a tool that does not automatically remove censorship, as Heretic is specifically designed for this purpose and may not align with projects that require manual or selective de-
