description: "Business Source License 1.1 terms for Desk"
---

The canonical license text is the `LICENSE` file in the repository root.

Desk is intended to be source-available and auditable while protecting the
project from hosted or embedded resale as a competing service. The release
license is therefore stricter than a permissive license.

For production, commercial, hosted, embedded, or competitive use, read the root
license file before using Desk. If the license terms do not clearly cover your
planned use, contact the project owner for a commercial license.
