Licenses
Summary
Our core algorithms are AGPL Version 3, but there are ways you can experiment with our technology without being constrained. We offer both a commercial license option (more details soon) and a trial license, which allows you to experiment temporarily without affecting your codebase with the AGPL, giving you time to decide whether a commercial license is worth it.
-
NuPIC and associated applications of NuPIC at http://github.com/numenta are licensed as dual commercial and AGPL version 3
-
Commercial licenses are also available from Numenta.
The goal of the license is to require that enhancements to NuPIC be released to the community.
Patents
Our CEO, Donna Dubinsky, wrote a blog post about our Patent Position.

Trial License
In order to experiment with our technology without the constraints of the AGPL, you may sign up for our trial license. This will allow you to work under a temporary license and create a proof-of-concept and decide later whether to convert to a commercial license or go AGPL.
