Yes, that is correct. If you use n8n as a backend or part of your backend that is totally fine. What is not permitted is to use n8n code to offer some kind of automation service.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoVery reasonable and generous to allow someone to generate revenue with your tool as a backend component as long as they’re not offering a verbatim automation SaaS service with a clone of your code. Kudos and thank you.
- janober 6y agoWe actually want that people use n8n as a backend and want to improve that further in the future and write more about it. We do not have to make money with literally everybody that uses our code. But if a good way to describe the service (or module, ...) is "automate X" then a license would be required. That we think is fair and makes sure that n8n is long term sustainable. And after all, is that also in the interest of the people/companies building on top of us.
