Question:
Opening the code to the public is necessary when using fiware-orion with no modification?

Description:
Hi,

I've built smart-city platform which uses fiware-orion and mongodb as docker images with no modification.

As of my understanding with regard to the statement in Github (https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiwar...),
I have no legal obligation to open the code to the public nor to distribute under AGPLv3 license when commercially using the smart-city platform.

Am I right?

Thanks.
