Open Source: Usage/Licence/Community Edition?

Hi, sorry, stupid question…

does Open Source here mean that I can use Ansible and build upon it for my business project without buying the product?

On the homepage I only find “free trial”, not “community edition”…

Thx for any advice

Hi,

read and read…so could it be that I can use Ansible for my project under the open source licence…just “Tower” is a product I would need to buy from Red Hat…did I understand this correctly?

Thx

Dan

Ansible is covered by the GNU GPL version 3, as seen here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/COPYING

If you distribute a modified version you need to release the source-code under the GPL-3 as well. Otherwise… speak to your lawyer :wink:
