Licensing at a glance.

Everything Element Editor ships today is licensed under the MIT License — free for any use, including commercial. A future Pro tier with team-oriented extensions will ship under a separate paid commercial license.

Open source — MIT

Every package — @element-editor/react, @element-editor/adapter-leaflet, @element-editor/adapter-maplibre, @element-editor/ui, and @element-editor/core — ship under the MIT License. Drawing, vertex editing, selection, transform, snapping, boolean operations, geometry processing, the data table, the schema editor, the GeoJSON editor, import and export — all of it.

You can use Element in any project: commercial, non-commercial, open source, proprietary, internal, external. No attribution requirement beyond the standard MIT notice in the source. No runtime license check. No usage reporting.
