I'm not that well versed in these legal issues, but is the AGPL practical if I want to use this to make an online store and pay a designer to get my own custom look? Also is there a possibility of third party designers/developers selling paid themes that work with YourNextStore, and is the licensing compatible with those themes being sold with a non-open-source license?

It is practical, you’ll just have to share the changes you’ve made under the same open source license. Alternatively, you can reach out to us to obtain a commercial license that’s not open.

Third party can sell paid themes as long as they’re open source – similar to how the Wordpress ecosystem works. All plugins and themes are open source, including the paid ones.

This is the state of things for now, but it could change in the future. We’re open to your feedback!
