## Handsontable non-commercial license (free for open-source projects)

**What you get.** Free use of the Handsontable JavaScript data grid, including its React, Angular and Vue wrappers, under the Non-Commercial and Evaluation License, with no watermark or console notice.

**Who qualifies.** Applies to the project; non-commercial use only. Projects with no monetary intent, which the docs list as non-commercial or open-source use (teaching, research, evaluation, testing). A project connected to commercial activity needs a paid license before it reaches production. Handsontable itself is source-available, not OSI-licensed.

**How to apply.** No application: set the licenseKey option to "non-commercial-and-evaluation" in the grid configuration, as the License key docs page describes.
