Enterprise Edition
Starting from the version 2.0
, UniLink ships two versions of its software. The community edition is MIT
licensed, and an enterprise edition is available under a proprietary license. Both software versions are built from a single Github repository.
While the community edition will always remain free and open-source, the enterprise edition is the effort to sustain both the offerings and UniLink as a commercial business. This model has been derived from other commercial open-source companies like Gitlab, Mattermost, Metabase, etc.
Differences between Community and Enterprise editions
The community edition of UniLink has all the relevant customer communication features that a growing business requires. At the same time, the enterprise edition contains proprietary features such as customizable dashboards, SLA Management, agent scheduling software, IP blocklisting, etc., suited for larger organizations.
While the source code for both editions is open to the public in our Github repo, all the /enterprise
folder contents are copyrighted.
