I’m surprised it survived the commercial rollout. AFAICT, the commercial rollout required $300/year per instance for any and all commercial usage. It made it sound like you weren’t even allowed to use the open source version for commercial use (is that even possible?).
- tobya 9y agoThe commercial licence for the prebuilt binaries is $50 pm for 2 instances. You can build yourself from source with no restrictions.
- pbreit 9y agoOK, I see the requirement to pay is only for the binaries. It does seem like grabbing binaries from gocaddy.com is the preferred installation method vs. apt-get, etc for nginx. $300 is the annual rate for 1 instance.
- pfg 9y agoYou're free to do anything with the source code that's permitted by the Apache license, including commercial usage. The commercial licensing only affects the binaries offered on the site.
- detaro 9y agoI'd agree that it wasn't very well-handled and being the biggest hassle for the wrong kind of people, but I believe it always clearly talked about their binaries only.
