## AI overview

Teleport Community Edition will move compiled binaries, container images, and Amazon Machine Images from the Apache 2.0 license to a commercial license starting with version 16. Personal and hobby use remains unrestricted, while larger companies must contact sales. The source repository remains under AGPLv3, and pre-version-16 assets retain Apache 2.0 licensing.
