Licensing

Open code. Clear commercial boundaries.

Aurelion keeps the code open and inspectable while preserving a sustainable commercial model for enterprise distribution, partner certification and OEM use.

Licensing Model

Apache 2.0 + BUSL 1.1.

Most secondary components are licensed under Apache 2.0. The Aurelion kernel is source-available under BUSL 1.1. This keeps the core open and inspectable while protecting the long-term commercial model around enterprise distribution, partner certification, support and OEM licensing.
