Assuming that no modifications have been made to the proprietary components, can a company use the Kibana Basic edition in a product that they are selling? For example, imagine they are selling a data visualization tool, and they use kibana for the user dashboard. I've read the license, but I'm not sure the answer to this question. ---

If you're not sure then it'd be best to reach out to [license@elastic.co](mailto:license@elastic.co) and check 🙂 ---

I have emailed them, but they have not responded and it's been a whole week. Also that email address in particular bounced. ---

Hey @0x41414141, The answer is generally yes, but please send a note to [elastic\_license@elastic.co](mailto:elastic_license@elastic.co) and we can help make sure that's the case for you. I'm on that mailing list, and I haven't seen a note from you, so perhaps it went to the wrong address? If you do send a note and don't hear back promptly, feel free to DM me and we can follow up. Thanks, Steve ---

Thank you. I think that answers my question. I don't have the specific details of the project yet, as it is still in the rudimentary phase, but I will send an to that address email when I am ready to discuss it. I think I did send it to the wrong address. Thank you for the right address. ---
