License FAQ

ark.commentary is fair-code: the source is public, self-hosting for your own use is free, and commercial exploitation for third parties is what funds the project.
Can my TV station / production company use it for free?
Section titled “Can my TV station / production company use it for free?”Yes. Deploy it on your own infrastructure and use it for your own productions — including commercial broadcasts. The Sustainable Use License permits free internal business use without restriction.
Can I modify it?
Section titled “Can I modify it?”Yes, for your own use. Patches welcome upstream (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Can I deploy it for my clients, resell hosting, or white-label it?
Section titled “Can I deploy it for my clients, resell hosting, or white-label it?”That requires the Enterprise License. Contact [email protected] — integrators and resellers are exactly who it exists for.
Is it open source?
Section titled “Is it open source?”It is source-available under the fair-code model (like n8n). The full source is public and auditable, but the Sustainable Use License is not an OSI-approved open source license: it restricts commercial exploitation for third parties.
Why not AGPL/MIT?
Section titled “Why not AGPL/MIT?”A copyleft or permissive license would let integrators resell deployments of ark.commentary without sustaining its development. The fair-code boundary keeps self-hosting free while funding the project through the people who build businesses on it.
