Open Source Software Policy

Last Updated: June 1, 2026

This Open Source Software Policy (“OSS Policy”) governs the treatment, availability, licensing considerations, deployment enablement, and customer interaction relating to open-source software (“OSS”) made available through the NexNodo platform, NexNodo Marketplace, marketplace functionality, deployment tooling, connectors, MCP servers, integrations, and related software ecosystems.

This OSS Policy forms part of and is incorporated into the applicable NexNodo Terms of Service, Marketplace Terms, Third-Party Application Terms, Cloud Service Agreement, Enterprise Agreement, or equivalent customer agreement governing customer use of the NexNodo platform.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned under the applicable customer agreement.

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The NexNodo platform and NexNodo Marketplace may include, reference, deploy, integrate with, enable, facilitate access to, or otherwise support open-source software projects originating from independent communities, maintainers, contributors, software foundations, vendors, licensors, or equivalent third-party ecosystems.

The purpose of this Policy is to describe NexNodo’s general approach regarding:

  • open-source software usage
  • deployment enablement
  • licensing treatment
  • attribution practices
  • customer responsibilities
  • and operational interaction with OSS ecosystems available through the NexNodo platform.

Examples may include technologies such as:

  • PostgreSQL
  • Kafka
  • MongoDB
  • Grafana
  • Prometheus
  • OpenWebUI
  • DBeaver
  • MCP-related tooling
  • Kubernetes ecosystem tooling
  • or substantially equivalent open-source software projects.

2. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE LICENSES

Open-source software available through the NexNodo ecosystem may be governed by a variety of licensing models and software governance frameworks established by independent upstream rights holders.

Applicable software licenses may include, without limitation:

  • MIT licenses
  • Apache 2.0 licenses
  • GPL licenses
  • AGPL licenses
  • BSD licenses
  • MPL licenses
  • Elastic licensing frameworks
  • community licensing models
  • foundation licensing frameworks
  • or substantially equivalent software licensing frameworks.

Applicable software licensing treatment depends upon the specific software package, project, version, maintainer framework, licensing model, and operational context involved.

Customers acknowledge that open-source licensing obligations may vary substantially between software projects.

3. LICENSE PRECEDENCE

Applicable upstream software licenses govern the software itself.

Such licensing frameworks may independently regulate:

  • usage rights
  • modification rights
  • redistribution rights
  • source code rights
  • commercial usage rights
  • compliance obligations
  • copyleft obligations
  • attribution obligations
  • or equivalent licensing matters.

This OSS Policy, together with NexNodo Marketplace Terms, Third-Party Application Terms, and associated NexNodo platform documents, governs customer interaction with NexNodo-controlled platform functionality, deployment tooling, marketplace access, infrastructure orchestration, and associated platform operations.

Nothing in this Policy modifies, overrides, narrows, expands, replaces, or supersedes legally applicable upstream software licenses.

4. OPEN SOURCE OWNERSHIP

Unless expressly stated otherwise, NexNodo does not claim ownership of independent open-source software projects, third-party repositories, community software, software foundations, external maintainers’ work, or upstream software ecosystems made available through the NexNodo platform or NexNodo Marketplace.

Ownership, licensing authority, software governance authority, project direction, branding rights, trademark ownership, roadmap control, maintainer decisions, and software governance remain subject to the applicable upstream project, foundation, maintainer, licensor, contributor, vendor, or equivalent rights holder.

References to open-source projects within the NexNodo platform shall not be interpreted as creating sponsorship, ownership, endorsement, certification, affiliation, partnership, or formal maintainer status unless expressly stated otherwise.

5. DEPLOYMENT ENABLEMENT MODEL

Unless expressly stated otherwise, NexNodo provides deployment enablement, marketplace catalog access, deployment tooling, orchestration functionality, infrastructure integration functionality, or equivalent platform capabilities relating to OSS content.

NexNodo does not automatically become:

  • the software licensor
  • software maintainer
  • managed service operator
  • software publisher
  • software warranty provider
  • or software support authority,

solely by enabling deployment of OSS content through the NexNodo ecosystem.

Customers generally pay for underlying infrastructure consumption, cloud resources, Kubernetes resources, storage resources, GPU resources, networking resources, or equivalent operational infrastructure consumed by OSS deployments.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no separate software license fee applies to open-source software deployments made available through the NexNodo Marketplace.

6. CUSTOMER OSS COMPLIANCE RESPONSIBILITIES

Customers remain responsible for understanding and complying with licensing obligations applicable to software they deploy, operate, modify, integrate with, redistribute, commercialize, or otherwise use through the NexNodo ecosystem.

Depending upon the applicable software license and customer usage model, customer responsibilities may include:

  • license review
  • attribution obligations
  • source code obligations
  • redistribution obligations
  • modification disclosure obligations
  • copyleft compliance obligations
  • commercial usage evaluation
  • internal compliance review
  • or substantially equivalent licensing responsibilities.

Where applicable OSS licenses impose obligations triggered by modification, redistribution, commercial deployment, software distribution, source code disclosure, or equivalent activities, customers remain responsible for their own compliance obligations.

NexNodo does not provide legal advice regarding open-source licensing interpretation, software compliance analysis, license compatibility determinations, or customer-specific licensing obligations.

7. SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, AND OSS CONTINUITY DISCLAIMERS

Open-source software ecosystems may evolve independently of NexNodo.

Projects may change maintainers, change licenses, become deprecated, lose community support, alter governance models, discontinue releases, remove functionality, or substantially change software direction.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, NexNodo does not guarantee:

  • upstream maintenance continuity
  • community continuity
  • release cadence
  • security patch timing
  • project roadmap continuity
  • upstream support availability
  • backward compatibility
  • long-term software availability
  • or equivalent OSS lifecycle outcomes.

Open-source software may be:

  • community supported
  • vendor supported
  • foundation supported
  • maintainer supported
  • commercially supported
  • or unsupported.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, NexNodo does not undertake affirmative software maintenance, patching, upgrade management, operational management, troubleshooting, lifecycle governance, or guaranteed support obligations relating to OSS content.

8. SECURITY, COMPLIANCE, AND OPERATIONAL EVALUATION

Customers remain responsible for independently evaluating OSS suitability for their intended operational, regulatory, security, compliance, technical, and business requirements.

Such evaluation may include consideration of:

  • software maturity
  • maintainer reputation
  • security posture
  • community governance
  • licensing implications
  • dependency structure
  • compliance considerations
  • privacy implications
  • operational support requirements
  • or equivalent evaluation criteria.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, NexNodo does not independently certify, warrant, validate, audit, approve, or guarantee OSS suitability for customer-specific requirements.

9. ATTRIBUTION AND LICENSE NOTICES

Where commercially reasonable and operationally appropriate, NexNodo may maintain licensing references, attribution notices, software references, package references, project acknowledgements, or equivalent OSS disclosure practices.

Additional licensing information, acknowledgements, attribution treatment, and applicable software notices may be available through NexNodo’s:

Open SourceLicenses / Attribution Page

  • or equivalent licensing disclosure mechanisms designated by NexNodo from time to time.

Customers remain responsible for reviewing applicable software licensing terms relevant to deployed software.

10. FUTURE SOFTWARE MODELS

The NexNodo ecosystem may, from time to time, include software offerings governed by:

  • commercial licenses
  • enterprise licensing models
  • proprietary software frameworks
  • dual-license models
  • source-available frameworks
  • vendor-specific software terms
  • or substantially equivalent software distribution models.

Where applicable, additional software-specific licensing terms, vendor agreements, enterprise licensing frameworks, proprietary software conditions, or marketplace-specific software terms may apply.

11. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER DOCUMENTS

This OSS Policy operates together with:

  • Marketplace Terms
  • Third-Party Application Terms
  • Terms of Service
  • Billing Policy
  • Refund Policy
  • Customer Service Level Agreement
  • MCP / Connector Publishing Terms
  • and equivalent NexNodo platform policies.

To the extent of direct conflict regarding software licensing treatment, applicable upstream software licenses shall govern the software itself.

Except as expressly modified herein, the applicable customer agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

12. POLICY MODIFICATIONS

NexNodo may modify this OSS Policy from time to time.

Material modifications may become effective upon publication, customer notification, platform publication, marketplace publication, or equivalent commercially reasonable notice mechanisms implemented by NexNodo.

Continued use of the NexNodo platform following policy effectiveness constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy to the extent permitted under the applicable customer agreement.
