License

Local Home Intelligence Licensing

Local Home Intelligence is released under a Business Source License 1.1 (BSL 1.1) style model. That means the code is source-available today for personal, internal, and non-commercial use, while certain commercial uses are restricted until the change date.

Simple, transparent, and built to protect both the people using the system and the business behind it.

Explanation

What this license is

Business Source License 1.1 is a source-available licensing model. You can read the code, run it, learn from it, and build with it in many non-commercial and internal ways, but you cannot turn it into a competing commercial product or hosted service without permission.

This page is a simplified explanation. The LICENSE file in the repository governs legally.

Allowed usage

•Use it in your home
•Modify and experiment freely

Restricted usage

What you cannot do

•Offer it as a hosted or SaaS service

Change date

On January 1, 2030, this project automatically converts to the Apache 2.0 license.

Until that date, the Business Source License terms apply.

Why this matters

Why we chose this

We believe in local-first AI, privacy, and open innovation. People should be able to run home intelligence without surrendering control of their data to large platforms.

At the same time, we need to protect the company and product we are building so we can continue investing in the platform long-term.

Commercial use
