License & Support

NereidAI is fully open source under the Apache License 2.0. Copyright © 2026 YIQISOFT.

Community support only

Community support is provided through GitHub issues and Discussions only. We do not provide free technical support. If you need contractual response commitments, deployment help, or customization, those are available commercially — see below.

What Apache-2.0 gives you

Apache-2.0 is a permissive license:

  • Use the software for any purpose, including commercial use.
  • Modify it and distribute your modifications.
  • Combine it with your own code without a copyleft obligation on that code.
  • Each repository ships its own LICENSE file and an SPDX identifier.

Community support

The community edition is supported by the community, in the open:

Channel What it is for
GitHub issues Bug reports and reproducible problems in a repository.
GitHub Discussions Questions, ideas, and community help.

Community support is best-effort and unscheduled — there is no SLA. Please search existing issues and Discussions before opening a new one.

Commercial options

The following are available separately under commercial terms:

  • Enterprise LTS — with backported fixes and a contractual CVE response SLA.
  • Turnkey air-gapped deployment — and an on-premises private POC.
  • Custom development — device/connector integration, multi-vendor silicon/NPU acceleration, and industry-specific adaptation.
  • Private training — and knowledge transfer.

The community edition

The community edition covers the complete edge-to-cloud loop under the terms above. All seven product repositories are open source today, published on a rolling dev channel with no tagged release yet; the first tagged release — signed images, SBOM and offline bundles — follows the gates described on the roadmap. Day-to-day status is tracked in the NereidAI GitHub organization and in Discussions.

Commercial industry solutions

Beyond the platform itself, NereidFactory, NereidSentinel, and NereidMedical are commercial offerings delivered under separate agreements. See Commercial Industry Solutions.
