Clarify license limitations regarding customization

Hi @ragizo, thank you for your kind words. Around 85% of the Baserow codebase is indeed MIT licensed. This is the most permissive license, and you’re free to do with it as you please.

TLDR: feel free to do what you want, as long as you don’t use the premium and enterprise code without paying.

  • You can fork the repository and replace and/or hide the logos and mentions of Baserow. A mention somewhere thanking us or making it clear that you’re using Baserow would be appreciated.
  • You can fork the repository, introduce changes to it and keep everything private.
  • If you’re going to use the code in the premium and enterprise directories, you need to get a subscription with us. If you want to be on the safe side and not use it, you can delete the premium and enterprise directories, and remove the imports from backend/src/baserow/config/settings/base.py and web-frontend/config/nuxt.config.base.js to completely remove and disable those features.
  • Baserow is very modular, and everyone has the technical and legal right to create a plugin for whatever functionality they want.
  • We currently don’t have a paid white-labeling offering. This might be something we could introduce in the future

I hope that answers your questions. :slight_smile:
