Community Edition
The purpose of the Community Edition is to allow anyone to run their signing infrastructure. You can take Documenso as is and run it yourself with barely any restrictions. We aim to keep self-hosting a realistic option and not force the product to become cloud-only.License

Copyright and license notices must be preserved. Contributors provide an express grant of patent rights.
