Licence for private companies

Zama Concrete

Hello,

Maybe I miss the adequate documentation or the right contact, I am sorry in advance to open this ticket if so.
I would like to know more about your open-source licence, and potential use for a private company to build on top of concrete/concrete ML. I read How we monetize our open-source products at Zama and found “If a company open sources their code under GPL, they can sell the same code with a non-GPL license to companies that don’t want to worry about the GPL copyleft provision”

What should I know or contact to know more about this?

Hello,

As mentioned in the topic you may have already read: About the Zama open-source licenses we are using BSD3-clear license, GPL was just an example.

Our licensing model is pretty simple: free for developing a POC, non-free for commercial usage.

If you want to build a commercial solution on top of Concrete or Concrete-ML you are in the commercial case.

If you want to further discuss the topic, maybe we could arrange a small meeting. Let me know.

Best,

Alex.

First, identify the licensing options by reviewing the licensing terms of the specific open-source project (in this case, concrete/concrete ML) to understand if dual licensing is offered. Check if there are additional commercial licensing options available for enterprise use. Next, contact the right person or department directly at the company (Zama in this instance) for detailed information. Most companies have a dedicated licensing or sales team to handle such inquiries. Look for contact information on their official website or documentation. Additionally, clarify usage rights to ensure you clearly understand the terms and conditions of the license, including any obligations or restrictions. Discuss your intended use case with the company to ensure compliance and find the best licensing option for your needs.
