| OPENOSINT-COMMERCIAL(1) | Commercial Service Agreement | openosint.tech |
NAME
openosint-commercial — optional service agreement for organizations that need a vendor contract, warranty, indemnification, SLA, or priority support on top of the MIT license
THE MIT LICENSE — FREE FOR ANY USE
OpenOSINT is free and open source under the MIT License for any use — personal, commercial, SaaS, closed-source, academic, everything. No purchase required, ever.
The MIT License already allows:
- Commercial use — selling products, offering SaaS, consulting
- Closed-source and proprietary use
- Modification and redistribution
- Sublicensing
You do not need a commercial plan to use OpenOSINT commercially or in a closed-source product.
WHY A COMMERCIAL PLAN EXISTS
Commercial plans exist for organizations that need a real vendor relationship — a signed contract, a supplier to pay, written warranties, indemnification language, or a priority-support SLA. These are the things procurement and legal teams require that an MIT-licensed open-source project cannot provide on its own.
Purchasing a commercial plan does not restrict or replace your MIT rights. It is a separate service agreement layered on top of the existing MIT license. Your right to use, modify, and redistribute OpenOSINT under the MIT License is unaffected regardless of whether you purchase a plan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a commercial plan to use OpenOSINT in my company?
No. The MIT License already permits commercial use, closed-source use, and SaaS products with no restrictions. A commercial plan is for organizations whose procurement or legal teams require a vendor contract, warranty, or SLA — not a prerequisite for commercial use itself.
Does buying a plan change the MIT license?
No. The MIT License remains in force. The commercial plan is a separate service agreement layered on top of it. Your open-source rights are unaffected.
Can I use OpenOSINT in a closed-source product without a plan?
Yes. MIT permits closed-source use. No attribution is required either, though it is appreciated.
What currency and payment methods do you accept?
Plans are priced in EUR. Payment methods are confirmed during onboarding — email to discuss.
Can I get a custom quote?
Yes. The Enterprise tier is explicitly custom. Email with your requirements.
