Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a commercial license to use Axonml in my product?

No. The MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses permit commercial use without any additional license.

Can I use Axonml in a closed-source application?

Yes. Both MIT and Apache 2.0 allow use in proprietary applications.

Do I need to open-source my application if I use Axonml?

No. Neither license requires you to open-source your application.

Can I modify Axonml for my own use?

Yes. You can modify Axonml freely. Under Apache 2.0, you must state changes if you distribute the modified version.

What's the difference between MIT and Apache 2.0?

  • MIT: Simpler, more permissive, shorter
  • Apache 2.0: Includes explicit patent grant, requires stating changes

You can choose whichever license works better for your situation.

Why dual license?

Dual licensing provides maximum flexibility. MIT is simpler and widely understood. Apache 2.0 provides explicit patent protection. Choose the one that fits your needs.
