Commercial Licensing
Official commercial licensing as published in the NimbusKV repository.
NimbusKV is free and open source under the Apache License 2.0. For almost everyone, including companies building and selling commercial products, that license is all you need. You do not need to buy anything to use NimbusKV in production.
When a commercial license might be useful#
Because Hemanshu Vaidya owns the copyright to NimbusKV, separate terms are available for organisations that need something the Apache License does not give them, for example:
- No attribution requirement. The Apache License requires
redistributions to keep the
LICENSEandNOTICEfiles. A commercial license can waive that. - Warranty or indemnity. The Apache License provides the software "AS IS", with no warranty. A commercial agreement can include warranties, indemnification, and legal assurances your procurement team may require.
- Support and response-time commitments for production use.
Free forever#
The open-source library will stay free and fully featured. Features are never moved from the open-source library into a paid edition.
