Commercial Services vs. Open Source

Commercial services are separate from the OSS license.

The openContextGraph library is open-source and free to use. However, our commercial products built on top of it are separate:

  • SecAI Radar: Commercial product with hosted services, enterprise features, and support
  • ctxeco: Commercial managed MCP gateway platform with SLA and enterprise support
  • openContextGraph: Free, open-source MIT-licensed library

You can use openContextGraph to build your own products, including commercial ones, without any obligation to use our commercial services.
