What exactly do I need a license for?

I see from the website that temptation is free for individuals, and you need a license if you're a company. Cool. Great for solo devs. However, what if I wanted to use remotion as a central component of a project (a free, open source, extensible video editor in this case) would I need a license? No profit would be made a side from maybe donations through GitHub sponsors.

Hi @ErrorGamer2000!

You can use the free license for teams up to three people if it is a personal project even if you still work at a company.

If the project is part of a company, we require you to buy a license, because usually companies have commercial interest in everything that they do, even their open source projects. We have exceptions for non-profits though.

Thanks @JonnyBurger

Also, @JonnyBurger I would very much like to be able to credit you/remotion. What would you like me to add and where would you like me to add it? Or would it only cause more license issues?

[JonnyBurger]

That would be awesome if you mention us of course! 🙌

Does it matter where, or can I just put it in the developer credits on the website (since it is going to be closed-source, if free)

@ErrorGamer2000 We have no guidelines on where to put it, so do as you please!
