Does becoming a patron permits commercial use of Community Edition?
Unfortunately at current stage, the answer is "No". But it doesn't mean it's not possible in the future, as we will explain more below.
After becoming patron, the usage of Community Edition software is still restricted to "non-commercial use". However you will get exclusive content (rewards) according to this article:
These rewards are in preparing and will be released soon. In the meantime, with your encouragement, the process will be expedited.
Goals toward Community Edition for commercial use
We've set the goal that when reaching $20,000+ per month, we will authorize Genius Vision NVR CmE to be used outside non-commercial context for patrons.
Before reaching the goal, all "non-commercial only" restriction still remains. In order to apply on commercial context, you'll need to use Commercial Edition instead, and purchase commercial license.
