Building on it: what may you do?

Short answers based on the licence, for the version in the catalog.

• B1 Change the code for internal use in your company Yes Yes.
• B2 Build your own product or service on top and offer it to customers as SaaS Yes Yes. Running it as a service is not distribution.
• B3 Make a closed-source derivative and sell or distribute it Yes, with conditions Yes, if your code stays separate (e.g. the library linked, your own files). Changes to the licensed code must be shared.
• B4 Use the project's name and trademark No No, not without permission. The licence covers the code, not the name or logo.

Keep in mind

• Open core: parts of the project (often an ee/ or enterprise folder) are under a separate commercial licence and may not be changed or used freely.
• There is a licence note for this product (e.g. parts under another licence or version-specific terms): read it and check the licence of the exact version you use.
