- Use Kasho for internal purposes within your organization

After 4 Years
Each version of Kasho automatically converts to the MIT License four years after its release date. This means older versions become fully open source over time.
Additional Use Grant
The BSL 1.1 includes an Additional Use Grant that permits production use, provided your use does not include offering Kasho to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis to compete with Kasho’s paid versions.
Using Kasho for internal purposes within your organization (including all affiliates under common control) is explicitly permitted and is not considered competitive use.
