At WaveMaker, we believe in open source software. WaveMaker provides two versions of its software (WaveMaker Community Edition and WaveMaker Enterprise Edition) under two different licenses (an open source Apache 2.0 license for the Community Edition and a WaveMaker commercial license for the Enterprise Edition).
-
WaveMaker Community: Using the WaveMaker Community Edition, you are free to develop and deploy WaveMaker applications under the Apache 2.0 license. You are not required to open source applications built using WaveMaker. We encourage you to contribute changes to the WaveMaker Runtime but you are not required to under the Apache License. Modifications you make to the WaveMaker Studio, however, must be published under the AGPL.
WaveMaker Enterprise: WaveMaker Enterprise Edition provides add-on features, support and a commercial license. The WaveMaker On-Site or Cloud Bundles include certified WaveMaker Enterprise Edition software, updates and upgrades, proactive alerts and full production-level technical support.
