ASK HN: Any licensing options for Electron based desktop apps?
1 point by thinkpozzitive on Nov 4, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
While looking at Electron to build cross platform desktop apps I've stumbled onto a problem when it comes to licensing a commercial project.

Is there any license generation scheme you can recommend or think is suitable for a commercial project given the technologies used by Electron?

To avoid confusion, when I say licensing, I mean generation product license key that that users use to register the software and potentially unlock "pro" features.

So far, googling hasn't really turned up any results.

Any thoughts?




Look at Slack's license?


I'm not exactly sure what you mean...


Slack is built on Electron and has multiple subscription levels. So their license should provide you with some good ideas :)
