Three licenses, one rule
Community, Business, Hoster: how LynxSpeak is meant to be licensed – and why private groups pay nothing.
Before there is a single download, we wanted to settle one question: who actually pays for LynxSpeak? The answer fits into one sentence.
Talk privately and pay nothing. Earn money with it and you fund the project.
The three tiers
- Community is for friends, clans, guilds and associations – anything without a business purpose. This tier is meant to stay free forever and to work without registration.
- Business is for companies and teams that use LynxSpeak for business.
- Hoster is for providers that rent LynxSpeak servers to customers. It includes many virtual servers per instance and access to the management API.
What is still open
Pricing and exact limits have not been decided, so we do not name any numbers. They will come before the first release that needs licenses.
Want to offer LynxSpeak servers? Then get in touch early – the hoster license is taking shape right now, and feedback helps us most at this stage.
All details are on the licensing page.
