# Commercial licensing

Tay is available under the Elastic License 2.0 at no cost for internal use,
development, redistribution, and use as infrastructure inside an ordinary
commercial product or SaaS application.

The Elastic License 2.0 does not permit providing Tay itself, or a substantial
set of Tay's features or functionality, to third parties as a hosted or managed
service. A separate commercial license is required for that use.

To discuss a commercial license, open a licensing inquiry in the project's
GitHub Issues after the repository becomes public. Do not include confidential
business information in a public issue; request a private contact channel.

This document is explanatory and does not replace or modify the terms in
`LICENSE`.
