Licensing

OpenMausBot is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with one carve-out and a few notes.

The carve-out: enterprise/

Everything under enterprise/ is source-available under the OpenMausBot Enterprise License, not Apache 2.0. You may read, build, and evaluate it, and run it freely in development and test. Running its features in production needs a license key issued for your organisation. Hosting it for third parties or white-labelling the product needs a partner agreement.

Delete the folder and what remains is the open-source edition: the server reports {"edition":"oss"} and ordinary standalone operation is unchanged. A workspace explicitly configured for hosted sign-in refuses remote access without that optional adapter; removing the enterprise layer must not bypass its configured sign-in authority. The open-source edition builds without enterprise/ CI job proves the OSS build, boot response and absent adapter factory; it does not exercise every hosted HTTP route. The isolated hosted workspace tests verify those sign-in and revocation paths separately. The list of entitlement ids the server understands is in enterprise/FEATURES.

The routing rule for new work: could any open-source user want it? Then it goes in core, as a public pull request. Organisation-, admin- or tier-flavoured? Then it lives in enterprise/ behind an entitlement. Customer-specific brand, skills, packages or connectors belong in that customer's own repository as data and configuration, never as a fork.

Contributions

  • Outside enterprise/: contribute under Apache 2.0. No DCO sign-off or CLA is required. Submit only code you wrote or have the right to contribute.
  • Inside enterprise/: sign the Contributor License Agreement once, by commenting on your pull request. It lets the project keep that folder under its own license while still accepting your work.
  • The open-core boundary, the cloud seam and this file are covered by CODEOWNERS: a maintainer reviews changes there.

Third-party components and trademarks

Bundled third-party software keeps its own licenses; notices, license texts, source locations and the SBOM are listed in NOTICE and third_party/. The OpenMausBot name and mascot are trademarks of Milind Soni; the Apache License does not grant trademark rights (section 6), so a product built on OpenMausBot needs its own name unless a partner agreement says otherwise.
