Thank you CSDude. We wanted SurrealDB to basically be open source, but with the only limitation of not being able to provide a Database as a Service platform. So in a business or enterprise use, there is no limit at all. You can run SurrealDB with as many nodes as you want, and as many users as you want; you can provide a hosted database internally, or to employees, contractors, or subsidiary companies. The only limitation is providing a paid-for, hosted, SurrealDB database platform.

After 4 years, all of our code becomes licensed with Apache 2.0 license.

In addition, all of our libraries, client SDKs, and many of our core components are completely Apache 2.0 or MIT licensed (https://surrealdb.com/opensource).

We have a whole page describing the license here: https://surrealdb.com/license!

We would definitely like to chat if you are interested in using SurrealDB!
