When you go to the source link at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph and look at the LICENSE file, it says: "Use Limitation: 15 users" That implies that the project there is the full Enterprise version?

Is there a separate link or some dividing line to the Core source? Or how does one build or access just the core features to abide by the licensing terms if you're a team larger than 15 and want to evaluate Core Sourcegraph?

After comparing the features of Core and Enterprise, it looks like the Core package is not self-hosted à la non-enterprise github. And the source at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph seems to be the Enterprise version – minus 24/7 technical support and automatic backups I'd say.

Sourcegraph CTO here. Sourcegraph Core is self-hosted and the source code for it lives at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph.

Sourcegraph Enterprise includes the additional features mentioned in the pricing section on https://sourcegraph.com that are specific to very large companies.

Sorry about the confusion. Anything we can do to make that clearer?

Well if the intent is that Sourcegraph Core is "for teams of any size", and the code at https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph is the Core, then it seems like the LICENCE file in the source should be updated to reflect the intent and not say it's limited.

Inside https://src.sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph@master/.tree/LICENSE it has a line that says:

  "Use Limitation: 15 users"

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for the feedback. We are working on making this smoother/clearer, but the way it works is that the license refers to the posted pricing. The posted pricing on Sourcegraph.com says $0 for teams of any size for the non-enterprise features. When you exceed 15 users, there is also a license you'll receive that explicitly says that, but we wanted to keep it simple when you are just getting started (and not require people to click through a EULA).

I guess I'm still confused on what the website says re: pricing and limitations of Sourcegraph Core, and what the LICENSE file in the source code repository says.

The LICENSE file starts:

Fair Source License, version 0.9

Copyright (c) 2015 Sourcegraph Inc.

Licensor: Sourcegraph Inc.

Software: Sourcegraph Core

Use Limitation: 15 users

...

But I think "Sourcegraph Core" is described as teams of any size on the website.

From other comments, I gather that (to make things as confusing as possible) Sourcegraph Core is released under the Fair Source License with a 15 user limitation, but the fee for > 15 users is $0/user, so its basically a free (gratis, not Free/libre) shared-source model.

Maybe change the README.md file at https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/srclib Beyang, which says "Sourcegraph is licensed under the MIT License." ... I think you probably mean "The sourcegraph/srclib sub-directory is licensed under the MIT License." ;)

Thanks for flagging! Updated the srclib README.
