No. You're not going to charge me for taking notes.
- raesene9 4y agoObsidian is free though. Even for syncing it's totally possible to do that wit just git (which is what I do)
- callahad 4y agoOnly for personal use. If you're using it at work, you're supposed to purchase a license. https://obsidian.md/eula https://obsidian.md/eula > You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people.
- raesene9 4y agoThat's not exactly how I'd read that EULA. To me it's asking for payment if you use it for work not at work. so someone recording personal notes on a work system wouldn't fall into that category, but someone using it for product development at their company would...
- callahad 4y agoHm. Yeah, I guess it's not as clear-cut. The Commercial License docs are maybe a bit more explicit? https://help.obsidian.md/Licenses+%26+Payment/Commercial+license https://help.obsidian.md/Licenses+%26+Payment/Commercial+lic... > If your notes contain content directly related to work projects or processes for a greater-than-one-person company, then you require a commercial license. (This is from Q13 on that page, "I use Obsidian to store all of my knowledge, both personal and professional, because it's difficult to separate them. Do I need a commercial license?")
- raesene9 4y agoah that's an interesting clarification! They should really give that more prominence as I'd guess there'll be quite a few people with that use-case.
- benhurmarcel 4y agoIf what you're writing is related to your professional activity, you're supposed to pay. So for example if you use it (as the article suggests) to record your work achievements at your job, you're supposed to buy a license.
