Open source
Software distributed under an OSI-approved license. Pisama uses this term only for packages such as the MIT-licensed core SDKs and n8n community node.
Product contract
One product promise. Different runtime shapes.
The local baseline stays useful: heuristic detection, evidence-backed diagnosis, and deterministic repairs where the runtime supports them. Pisama-managed services add model workflows, advanced detection, operations, and governance.
Fair-code
Source-available software that is free for permitted internal use but restricts competing hosted or embedded commercial offerings. Pisama for n8n self-hosting uses the Sustainable Use License.
Hosted service
A Pisama-managed service governed by hosted service or commercial terms. A plan may have a free allowance without becoming open source or fair-code.
Local and free starting points
Choose the runtime first
Main SDKs and n8n self-hosting share a baseline, but they should not have identical interfaces. The main product is library-first. The n8n product includes a purpose-built server and dashboard.

A hosted free allowance is still a managed service governed by service terms. It does not change the license of the local packages. Main and n8n allowances intentionally differ because their storage, model, and operator costs differ.
