Can you elaborate on this? Are you referencing their "Publish" feature?
No. I mean the following: "Commercial Use Licenses are required whenever Obsidian is being used for work for a business with two or more personnel. Sole proprietorships or other one-person organizations do not require a Commercial Use License. Work for educational purposes does not require a Commercial Use License.
Commercial Use Licenses must be purchased on an annual and per user basis. Commercial users must purchase at least as many licenses as the number of people who will be using Obsidian.
You may use Obsidian commercially for free for 14 days to evaluate the app before purchase."
see: https://obsidian.md/license
@gelberhut @effingjoe if I am a freelancer who gets paid for work done using #obsidian this doesn't apply. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@tamowafy @gelberhut @effingjoe AFAIK you need to be working in a for-profit organization with 2 or more employees to need a commercial license for #Obsidian.
Agree.
@EpiphanicSynchronicity @tamowafy @gelberhut @effingjoe “the use of OBSIDIAN for the exercise of your own trade or profession for which you are compensated compensation (e.g. teamwork with colleagues, writing work reports, etc.) does not qualify as Personal Use”
Please provide a link to the quote.
@gelberhut Sorry, should have done that: https://obsidian.md/terms
Thanks! Strange that they did not put this in FAQ.
