 SOFTWARE LICENSING 
 
-Mattermost server is made available under two separate licensing options:
+You are licensed to use compiled versions of the Mattermost platform produced by Mattermost, Inc. under an MIT LICENSE 
 
-- Free Software Foundation’s GNU AGPL v.3.0, subject to the exceptions outlined in this policy; or 
-- Commercial licenses available from Mattermost, Inc. by contacting commercial@mattermost.com 
+-	See MIT-COMPILED-LICENSE.md included in compiled versions for details.
 
-Admin Tools and Configuration Files (api/templates/, config/, model/, web/react/utils/, web/static/, web/templates/ and all 
-subdirectories thereof) are made available under: 
+You may be licensed to use source code to create compiled versions not produced by Mattermost, Inc. in one of two ways:
 
-- Apache License v2.0 
+1. Under the Free Software Foundation’s GNU AGPL v.3.0, subject to the exceptions outlined in this policy; or 
+2. Under a commercial license available from Mattermost, Inc. by contacting commercial@mattermost.com 
 
-LICENSING POLICY 
+You are licensed to use the source code in Admin Tools and Configuration Files (api/templates/, config/, model/, 
+web/react/utils/, web/static/, web/templates/ and all subdirectories thereof) under the Apache License v2.0.
 
-The objective of the Mattermost server license is to require enhancements to Mattermost server be shared with the community 
-while allowing for non-enhanced use in proprietary applications. 
-
-Therefore, the Mattermost server is free to use, modify and redistribute in open source applications via the 
-copyleft AGPL license. For proprietary applications (systems that don’t share source back to the community), 
-Mattermost is free to use and redistribute so long as you’re not withholding proprietary enhancements to the 
-Mattermost server and you’re only linking directly to or changing Admin Tools and Configuration Files (defined above), which 
-are released under an Apache 2.0 license, and copyleft free. 
-
-We promise that we will not enforce the copyleft provisions in AGPL v3.0 against you if your application (a) does 
-not link to the Mattermost server directly, but exclusively uses the Mattermost Admin Tools and Configuration Files, 
-and (b) you have not modified, added to or adapted the source code of Mattermost in a way that results in the creation 
-of a “modified version” or “work based on” Mattermost as these terms are defined in the AGPL v3.0 license. 
-
-If the above is not enough to satisfy your organization’s legal department (some will not approve GPL in any form), 
-commercial licenses are available from commercial@mattermost.com.
+We promise that we will not enforce the copyleft provisions in AGPL v3.0 against you if your application (a) does not 
+link to the Mattermost Platform directly, but exclusively uses the Mattermost Admin Tools and Configuration Files, and
+(b) you have not modified, added to or adapted the source code of Mattermost in a way that results in the creation of 
+a “modified version” or “work based on” Mattermost as these terms are defined in the AGPL v3.0 license.
