# Commercial License — mltk

mltk is licensed under the [Elastic License 2.0](LICENSE) (ELv2), which
permits free use for internal, non-commercial, and evaluation purposes.

## When to get in touch

The ELv2 community license covers most uses. You should reach out about a
commercial license when your use case resembles any of the following:

- **Managed / hosted service**: You offer mltk (or a product substantially
  built on mltk) as a service to third parties — e.g. an MLOps platform,
  a testing-as-a-service product, or a SaaS tool where mltk functionality
  is accessible to your customers. This is the primary restriction in ELv2.

- **Bundled commercial product**: You embed or redistribute mltk as part of
  a product you sell or license to third parties.

- **Commercial training or consulting**: You deliver paid engagements where
  mltk is a central deliverable.

If you're unsure, reach out — we're happy to clarify before you deploy.

Internal use within your company — including running mltk against your own
models, pipelines, and datasets, regardless of company size or revenue — is
free under ELv2 with no conversation required.
