Blazorise licence in ABPFramework

[sebitsi]

Hi.

In documentation you wrote

Beginning from June, 2021, the Blazorise library has dual licenses; open source & commercial. Based on your yearly revenue, you may need to buy a commercial license

Is this correct ?

I followed link in docs, but there is no yearly revenue limit. Basically there is only one limit - if projects are commercial or not.

If i noticed right then using ABPFramework is not free anymore for blazor commercial projects. Even if developer is freelancer.

@maliming Thanks for your response.

But

BTW, Blazorise is free if your yearly income is below a certain amount. For more info, visit its own website.

Is this correct ? Where on Blazorise site is this income limit ?

@maliming Thanks for your effort.

As i can understand licence agreement, using Blazorise for free is only allowed for non-commercial, personal use, testing and educational purpose. Right ?

So i cannot use ABP Framework (blazor) for small commercial apps, because of blazorise licence limitations.

What do you mean by that ?

ABP framework is free but has dependices to non free library.

The license is now required for all organizations, and for individuals it is still free.

@freebsensetips Thank you for obtaining additional information from @stsrki

@hikalkan @maliming If I understand correctly, this means that we can no longer use the ABP community (blazor edition) for commercial solutions as a personal company (only one employee - me in the company).

Is this correct ?

As I understand the wording...

If you are using any Blazor version of abp to build your own personal websites (either as a sole developer or company) which you do not sell or gain from, then abp community is Open Source and you don't need a license for Blazorize

Unfortunately if you intent to develop a solution for commercial purposes i.e. gain financially or otherwise from the product you've developed, then you have to purchase a license from Blazorize i.e. abp community Blazor is NOT Open Source out of the box (even if you are a sole developer)

@DonVliet ,

Thanks for your opinion. I think so too.

If I'm not mistaken, until now the use of the ABP framework for commercial solutions has not been controversial. Especially for small solutions. Of course, for larger solutions, the purchase of a commercial version is practically necessary. Additional functionalities and additional support outweigh the purchase.

I hope that the guys from Volosoft will give an official opinion or find an appropriate solution.
