/ WHAT COUNTS AS A PROJECT?

The definition of a project is mutually agreed between the two parties. Government-named programs are projects. If groups of targets would not be mixed in the same operational deployment, they belong to separate projects.

/ WHAT IS AN OPERATIONAL UNIT?

Any satellite, device, vehicle, or target actively communicating with or being controlled by COSMOS in a operational environment counts as an Operational Unit.

/ FAQ

Plain answers.

What's the OpenC3 Builder's License?+
Core is open-source under a copyleft license — you share your source with users of the system. If you need to keep your COSMOS tools and plugins proprietary, use COSMOS Enterprise, which is commercially licensed.
How is Enterprise licensed?+
Two licenses: a Single-project license for one named project, or a Multi-project license for two or more — each priced on the operational units you anticipate over the coming year. Licensing is enforced by contract — no license files, no license managers, no seats, no nodes, no per-network keys. Install as many times, in as many places, for as many users as the scope allows.
What support is included?+
Enterprise includes direct support by email and real-time telecoms with the OpenC3 development team. Core is supported via GitHub issues unless you purchase a separate support contract.
Do I get the Enterprise source code?+
Yes. All Enterprise customers receive full source. You have complete control of the system and can shape it to your program.
Do you offer training and custom development?+
Yes — see training and services. Custom plugins are typically fixed-price; ongoing T&M support is available for larger programs.
Can we self-host or air-gap?+
Yes. Enterprise runs on your infrastructure — cloud, on-prem, classified, air-gapped. That's the point.
Is COSMOS Core really free?+
Yes. Free, open-source, forever. The same product the primes prototype with. If Core is all you ever need, we're happy you're building.
