Can Laravel Spark used for open-source public project hosted on Github?

I am sorry if I missed anything on https://spark.laravel.com/

I liked what I see, and I will be likely use Spark for my SaaS project.

But just wondering what terms of the license are? I did not see license text for Spark online.

Can Spark be used for project open-source public projects? Or even commercial but downloadable projects/products?

No, it's not open source, which is why the repo for spark is private. It's a paid for commercial app and allows you to use it on a single website, or multiple websites, but the keys and registration are tied to your github account.

@Cronix thanks for the answer.

How about a commercial app without, the open license such as Github Enterprise or activecollab.com self-hosted version?

Is there any OEM kind of license which can be used to bundle Spark in per instance?

We are planning to use Spark for a SaaS project but we might need to provide an enterprise version which will be self-hosted/on-premise.

use packages for the enterprise parts

@threeel can you please elaborate more about this? What do you mean by packages in this context? I am new to Laravel.

Do you mean deliver enterprise features as plugins/packages that can be installed on community edition?

He probably means you should use packages that already exist to replace spark functionality. I personally haven't used spark myself so I can't really help you there. However, what kind of app are you going to develop? It seems to me that Spark saves most of your time with billing and such, are you planning to use spark mainly for that?

Otherwise I can recommend you take a look at some of spatie's packages, they are very diverse in usage and allow you to create your own perfect set of packages. https://github.com/spatie
