Hi Brendan, It's definitely possible to build products on top of Jupyter Notebooks. There's many companies doing this already in a number of domains and offerings. The governance is more about managing the open source code and engagements that promote Jupyter. For building a commercial product you usually don't need to worry about the project internal governance.
Most (perhaps all?) software under Jupyter is licensed with 3-clause BSD license <https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/LICENSE> which gives open permission to reuse the code without needing to coordinate with Jupyter teams. If you distribute code to people you have to include the license as described in the link. Hosting a webserver doesn't require this license sharing, just if you send someone source code from the open source repositories. If you contribute code that can be shared we're always happy to take pull requests to get that code into the open source repositories as well so you and others can equally benefit. Hope that helps, Matt On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 3:11 AM Brendan Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to build a commercial educational product using Jupyter > Notebooks.
