# Additional Notes
The notes below are supplemental information, and are not part of the license agreement.
## Rationale
We absolutely want to support community projects and individual learning, and this license is designed to be very permissive for those cases! But our relationship with companies is different, and we'd like to have those conversations directly, rather than with a license document.
We recognize this license isn't compatible with common open-source licenses: you can't use our work and then license the derived work for commercial use, for example. But we expect that this won't be a problem for most people who are using this for personal hobby projects, or just reading along for general educational value!
## Alternatives
If this license doesn't cover your use case, please contact us at matchu@openneo.net, and we can figure something out!
