The Isotope Commercial Developer License is for individual developers. This license is priced per developer. Each individual developer needs to purchase a separate license. A developer is someone who implements Isotope, and probably types .isotope() at some point.
License
Isotope may be used in commercial projects and applications with the one-time purchase of a commercial license.
Open source license
For non-commercial, personal, or open source projects and applications, you may use Isotope under the terms of the GPL v3 License. You may use Isotope for free.
What is commercial considered?
If you are paid to do your job, and part of your job is implementing Isotope, a commercial license is required.
Commercial licensing
Purchasing takes seconds and accepts credit cards or PayPal. Once purchased, you’ll receive a commercial license PDF and you will be all set to use Isotope in your commercial applications.
With the purchase of a commercial license:
- You may use Isotope in as many commercial applications you like.
- You may use Isotope in your own commercial applications and products. For example: premium WordPress, Tumblr, or other CMS themes, plugins and templates.
- Customers and users of your products do not need to purchase their own license — so long as they are not developing their own commercial products with Isotope.
The commercial license comes in two varieties:
Isotope Commercial Developer License
Isotope Commercial Organization License
The Isotope Commercial Organization License is for an organization with a team of developers. The license covers the entire team no matter how many developers are working on it.
