9 products in this dataset are published under an OSI-approved licence, which means you can self-host the editor, fork it and ship it inside a commercial product without a per-seat fee.

An open source licence is what removes the two risks buyers ask about first: a vendor changing its pricing, and a vendor disappearing. What it does not remove is the cost of building the parts a commercial SDK hands you ready-made — asset management, collaboration, hosting.
