Licensing

What you may and may not do with the code, in plain terms. The licence files in each repo are authoritative; this page explains them.

Community — MIT

Free to use, modify, distribute, and build on, commercially or otherwise. It is a permissive open-source licence with essentially no strings.

Developer editions — commercial licence

You may

• Use the source to build, deploy, and operate your own products and services, including commercial ones.
• Modify it freely and ship the modified version in your products.
• Use it on unlimited projects that you own or operate.

You may not

• Resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish, or share the source — original or modified — as a competing product, template, boilerplate, or starter kit.
• Make the source publicly available, for example in a public repository.
• Remove or alter the licence or copyright notices.

The distinction is simple: build products with it, do not sell it as a product.

The licence grants these rights to one purchaser. For team, agency, or reseller licensing, write to contact@startone.ai.

Trademark

StartOne™ is a trademark of Kredit Technology, LLC.

This matters most for Community, so it is worth stating plainly: MIT gives away the code, not the brand. You are free to fork Community and build whatever you like — but you may not use the StartOne name or logo to brand your own product, or in any way that implies endorsement by Kredit Technology, LLC.
