Legal
Apache-2.0. The whole app.
Loom Conductor is licensed under Apache-2.0: the Tauri shell, the Rust core, and the React front end alike. This page is the plain-words version. The LICENSE file in the repository is the one that counts.
In practice
What Apache-2.0 lets you do.
Use it anywhere
Run Loom for personal projects, client work, or inside a company. Commercially or not, at any scale, with no fee, no seat count, and no permission to ask.
Change it
Fork the repo, modify the code, and ship your modified version, privately or publicly. Apache-2.0 does not require you to open-source your changes.
Build on it with patent cover
Contributors grant you an express patent license for their contributions, so using Loom does not expose you to patent claims from the people who wrote it.
The short version of your obligations
Apache-2.0 is permissive, but it is not a free-for-all. If you redistribute Loom Conductor or a derivative of it, a few things are required:
- Keep the license and copyright notices intact, and include a copy of the Apache-2.0 text with what you distribute.
- If you modified files, carry prominent notices in those files stating that you changed them.
- The license grants no trademark rights. You can ship a fork, but it should not present itself as Loom. See the brand page.
- The software is provided as is, with no warranty. The license disclaims liability for the authors and contributors, which matters for an app that runs six autonomous coding sessions. The terms of use spell out what that means day to day.
None of this affects your own projects. The license covers Loom's code, not the code in workspaces the fleet works on. Your repositories remain yours, under whatever license you choose, subject only to the terms of the model providers you connect.
This page is a summary, not legal advice. The full text lives in the LICENSE file at the root of github.com/yimingbeckmann/loom-conductor, and where this summary and that text disagree, the text wins.
Common questions
Quick answers.
Can I use Loom for paid client work?
Yes. Apache-2.0 places no restriction on commercial use, and the app itself is free. Your only costs are the model providers you pay directly.
Do I owe anything if I fork it?
No royalties and no fees. You must keep the notices, include the license text, and mark the files you changed. That is the whole bill.
Does the license apply to code the fleet writes for me?
No. Apache-2.0 governs Loom Conductor itself. Code produced in your workspaces belongs to your project, subject to your agreements with the model providers involved.
