Hello all!

I'm working for a company that is curious about Node-RED and I was reading about licenses. There is no license for Node-RED, but there might be for external flows. Is that correct?

Thank you so much in advance!

There [is a license](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/LICENSE). (Apache 2.0)

Thanks!

Is there a link to that somewhere in the "getting started" guides that I just completely missed?

No, there is no explicit link.

Every page does include a link to the GitHub project in the footer. But we should add something more explicit to [https://nodered.org/about](https://nodered.org/about)
