**Q: Can I use Awesomium in my open-source application / tool / library under the Free License?**

**A:** Yes, as long as your project is non-commercial (does not create works or services for a profit). If your project is a library that may be used for commercial projects, your users will need to acquire an additional Pro License from us.
