License

Source-available, personal-use friendly.

Plain English

FleetCrown is a personal project by Mao Nakamoto, source-available on GitHub. You can read the code, run it locally, and use the hosted product for free for personal and small-team work. Commercial redistribution, repackaging, or running it as a competing hosted service requires a separate agreement.

This will be replaced by a standard open-source license when the project incorporates and adopts a definitive license. Until then, the terms below apply.

You may

  • Read, fork, and modify the source code at github.com/maonakamoto/fleetcrown.
  • Run your own instance for personal use or for use by a team you are part of.
  • Submit pull requests, file issues, and discuss the project publicly.
  • Use the released binaries (AppImage, .deb, .dmg, .exe) to run Fleet Runner on your computer.

You may not, without separate written agreement

  • Operate FleetCrown as a hosted service for third parties (e.g. spin up a FleetCrown clone and sell access to it).
  • Repackage the binaries or source as a different branded product and distribute that product to others.
  • Use the “FleetCrown” name or brand for a derivative product without permission.

Third-party software

FleetCrown bundles open-source dependencies including but not limited to Electron, React, Next.js, Tailwind, Drizzle, and Zellij. Each is governed by its own license, included in the source tree under node_modules/for the JavaScript ecosystem and in the released Fleet Runner binary's LICENSES files for the native components. The terms on this page do not override those upstream licenses.

Questions

For licensing questions or to request commercial usage rights, open an issue at github.com/maonakamoto/fleetcrown/issues or email Mao Nakamoto via the address on the GitHub profile.

Final licensing terms will be set at incorporation. Current contributors and users are explicitly grandfathered — anything you can do today, you will be able to keep doing.
