Licensing policy
Which applications we sell, which we decline, and why the difference is not a technicality.
We only sell managed hosting for software whose licence permits it. Applications under permissive or copyleft open-source licences qualify. Source-available licences that restrict providing the software to third parties for a fee do not — which is why we publish a guide for n8n and Typebot instead of an order button.
Hosting companies rarely publish this. The reason we do is that it is the single clearest signal of whether a provider will still be selling the same product in two years. A licence breach does not end in a fine; it ends in the software being pulled, and the migration lands on the customer.
The three categories
- Permissive — MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD. Commercial hosting is explicitly allowed. Most of our catalogue sits here.
- Copyleft — AGPL-3.0 and similar. Hosting is allowed with obligations around modified source. We deploy upstream builds unmodified, which keeps us on the right side of it.
- Source-available — Sustainable Use License, FSL, BSL. These look open but restrict exactly what a hosting company does. We do not sell them.
Applications we decline to sell
n8n ships under the Sustainable Use License, which permits internal business use and non-commercial use but restricts providing the software to others for a fee. Several hosting companies sell it anyway; some may hold agreements they do not publish. Neither is a defence we can rely on, so we abstain until we can answer the question with a document. The n8n guide stays online because it is useful.
Typebot ships under FSL-1.1, whose Competing Use definition covers managed hosting directly. Its page was written and then deleted.
What we recommend instead
- Activepieces — Open automation with hundreds of integrations — and no execution quota.
- Windmill — Turn scripts into workflows, schedules and internal apps.
- Node-RED — Wire events, devices and APIs together on a canvas.
- Kestra — Declarative orchestration for data and AI pipelines.
Conditions we honour on applications we do sell
- Dify — Apache-2.0 with additional conditions: no multi-tenant service and no removal of branding. Every instance is single-tenant and the branding stays.
- Open WebUI — branding may not be removed above a 50-user threshold without an agreement, so we ship it as published.
- Flowise — no licence issue, but a security one: never deployed below 3.0.6, which fixes a critical remote code execution advisory.

This page describes our commercial policy. It is not legal advice, and licence texts change — where a project’s terms are ambiguous we ask the maintainers rather than assume.

Host what we can host properly
Everything in the catalogue is there because its licence allows it.
