What is YouBPM license?
Core YouBPM is available under a commercial or open-source license. YouBPM source code repository is hosted on GitHub , and the platform is available as a Maven package.
To use enterprise features of YouBPM to build applications or services that will only be used internally by organizations, customers need to buy End-User license.
If customer is intending to create a commercial product with YouBPM and licensed to any third parties, they will need OEM license.
