License

We are committed to maintaining the spirit of open source while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the project. Therefore, this project uses the BSL 1.1 license.

Quick Overview

Here are the key points of the license:

• ✅ You may: use Everywhere for personal learning, internal use, non-commercial research, and deployment within your company free of charge.
• ❌ You may not: provide competitive commercial hosting services based on Everywhere without authorization from Sylinko Inc. (e.g., directly selling a cloud-hosted version of Everywhere).
• Eventually open source: Each version of this project will automatically convert to the Apache License 2.0 after 4 years from its release, becoming fully open source software.

FAQ

Can I use Everywhere in a production environment within my company?

Yes. As long as you are not directly reselling Everywhere's functionality as a service (SaaS/PaaS) to your customers, internal business process use within your company is completely free and allowed.

What is Competing Use?

Simply put, if you build a product or service whose core value is providing all or part of Everywhere's functionality and profit from it, it is considered competition.

• ❌ Violation example: Setting up an "Everywhere Cloud Platform" that charges users to log in and use the software.
• ✅ Compliant example: You use Everywhere's technology to process internal data in your e-commerce system, and your customers pay for the goods, not for Everywhere's functionality.

What if I need to do commercial secondary development?
