Thanks for sharing!

I wrote this post some time ago, and more recently built a thing to do roughly this for my small business: https://github.com/42futures/firm

Had it in practice for about 4 months now and happy so far. It works for me, at my small scale. Hoping to share a follow-up with lessons learned soon.

This is incredibly cool.

Licensing it as AGPL-v3 throws up an interesting question - given the thing this produces is your company as code, if you use this does your entire company count as a larger work that would need to be open sourced? Or is there an explicit distinction between the "firmware" (excuse me) and the work product?

Licensing generally applies only to the thing being licensed and not its output.

Otherwise all software written with a GPLv3 editor would also be GPLv3…or all software built with a GPLv3 compiler would be GPLv3. (Neither are true)

That's because the output isn't a derivative work of the licensed software.
