Licensing principles

Licensing is tightly coupled with the Quartz architecture

Each module (core, prisms, facets, brands) has its own license. Some of them are open source, others are private to protect Schneider Electric's intellectual property.

Always refer to each package's licensing information

Although we defined the general principles below, there may be exceptions. Check the licensing information provided in the published assets.

Overview

In the following diagram:

• the 🔒 symbol indicates internal packages available only to Schneider Electric employees and contractors
• the ❇️ symbol indicates packages publicly available

General principles

• Foundational modules (*-foundations GitHub repositories) should be open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license.
• Most facets won't be shared publicly, so they will remain closed source.
• Brand packages (brand-* GitHub repositories) will remain closed source.

Exceptions

• Some general-purpose facets (for example: data visualization) may be open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license.
• The brand-generic GitHub repository is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, because the other public packages require at least a design tokens package and a core icon library.

How licences mix together into products

The following examples illustrate how products created with Quartz will consume modules with mixed licenses.
