Petal Pro app deployment to customer premises - any problems?
I’m starting work on an Phoenix/LiveView app that I hope to sell to businesses. They would deploy the app to their own environment.
I haven’t been able to get this questioned on the Petal Discord site, so I thought that I would try here.
If I develop my app using Petal Pro, would I have any license or deployment issues with customers deploying to their own environments, whether it be to their own servers or to the cloud?
Thanks

The license is here: Petal Framework
They list an email to ask directly (if you do get an answer, please add it here too as I’m sure others would find it helpful)
From my reading of the license (IANAL): you’re fine to use Pro to build an app for a customer, where they deploy has zero bearing on the license.
What matters is that you supply the code alongside the app you build. The spirit of this is that you are supplying a product built using Petal, and you aren’t infringing on their business model of supplying petal.
They say you may NOT
- Re-distribute our Products or modifications of our Products (neither code nor design assets) separately from a completed End Product.
And then there is this summary:
Essentially, it is fine to build anything you like, as long as it does not directly/indirectly compete with our products and affect our product sales.
I hope that helps, but again it’s just my reading and I am not a lawyer.
