License update — November 2, 2026

EDU has adopted the Mozilla Public License 2.0, replacing the previous Polyform Noncommercial License. The content below reflects the new license.

enable data union code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Please see this blog post on the Education Analytics blog for background on our original license decision; the EDU codebase has since transitioned to MPL 2.0.

In short, the Mozilla Public License 2.0:

• Allows anyone — including commercial users — to use, modify, and distribute the software

• Requires that modifications to MPL-licensed files remain under the MPL and are shared back as source

• Can be combined with proprietary code in larger works, so long as the MPL-licensed files themselves remain MPL

For a school district, state education agency, or software vendor, this means you can: use and install the code on your own, incorporate it into other software (commercial or not), modify it, hire someone to install and implement it for you, or host it for other agencies — provided that any changes you make to the EDU files themselves are published under the MPL as well.
