Ownership and License

Frisky is owned by me, Matthew Rocklin, and is freely available to use.

Frisky is not open source, but binaries are available on public distribution channels. Please feel free to use them with the license stated below.

You are welcome to use Frisky and report issues and enhancement ideas, but I make no promises on fixing these problems. Frisky is a fun project for me, and not connected with any commercial endeavor of mine. I hope that it is useful to you.

Relationship to Dask

Frisky has no formal relationship to Dask or NumFOCUS.

Relationship to Coiled

Frisky has no formal relationship to Coiled Computing Inc. other than both being owned by me.

Coiled customers are welcome to use Frisky, but their contracts do not include a license to Frisky beyond what is stated publicly above, nor are they entitled to Frisky support beyond what is publicly available.

Although of course, Frisky works well with Coiled, which is a great way to deploy Frisky clusters in the cloud.
