OtoDock is Fair Source
Free for self-hosting and internal use up to 5 users. Production beyond that needs a license. Every release converts to Apache 2.0 two years after we publish it.
OtoDock is published under FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 (the Functional Source License) — a Fair Source license. We are explicitly not "open source" by the OSI definition; Fair Source acknowledges that directly.
What you may do
- Read the code and run it for any internal use, at any scale.
- Modify it and redistribute your modifications.
- Deploy it in commercial environments and build internal tools on top of it.
- Provide professional services with it.
What you may not do
- Offer the Software (or a substantially similar product) as a commercial service to others — i.e. take OtoDock and resell it as a managed agent platform competing with us.
Two-year Apache conversion
Each version automatically becomes Apache License 2.0 two years after we publish it. After conversion, those versions are fully permissive open source.
Why Fair Source
It gives us freedom without free-riding: the code is open and self-hostable, while a narrow "competing use" restriction keeps hyperscalers from reselling it. Standardized terms (shared with Sentry, Codecov, GitButler and others) mean no per-licensor surprises for your compliance team.
