The official Docker images of the ArangoDB Community Edition are governed by the [ArangoDB Community License](https://arangodb.com/community-license/). It limits deployments to a 100 GB on dataset size in production and you cannot use it for any commercial purposes, only internal business purposes.

The source code of the Community Edition is available under the [Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1)](https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb/blob/devel/LICENSE). Copying, modification, redistribution, non-commercial use, and commercial use in a non-production context are always allowed. Additionally, you can deploy BUSL-licensed ArangoDB source code for any purpose (including production) as long as you are not creating a commercial derivative work or offering, or are including it in a commercial product, application, or service. On the fourth anniversary of the first publicly available distribution of a specific version, the license changes to the permissive Apache 2.0 open-source license.
