## License FAQs
167+
168+
### What license do you use?
169+
We use the [Elastic License v2.0](https://github.com/CADmium-Co/CADmium/blob/main/LICENSE.md).
170+
171+
### What are the terms of that license?
172+
You can do anything you want with the code except offer it as a service to third parties.
173+
174+
### Why do you use that license instead of MIT, GPL, etc?
175+
Because we don't want Autodesk, Siemens, Dassault, or PTC to clone our code, change the logo, and start offering it as one of their products.
176+
177+
### Can I host a CADmium instance for my family?
178+

188+
189+
### If you choose at some point to stop developing CADmium, what will/can happen to the project?
190+
We would convert the license to MIT, GPL, or something similar.
191+
192+
### If I fork the project and change it (rebranding or adding a new feature) can I host it myself?
193+
Yes, so long as your fork is only used by you or your company. You are not permitted to host your fork as a service for third parties.
194+
195+
### Do I have to publish my fork?
196+
No.
