The community edition's LICENSE has the commons clause which is non-commercial. The 1st statement of OSI's open source definition says that non-commercial restrictions are not open source.

I could make a PR, but I'm not sure how that should be conveyed best. I would probably change it from "Open Source and PRO version" to "Non-free Community Edition and Paid PRO version".

Hi! Thanks for highlighting this! I'm ok to just update a license. Could you make a PR for that?
