docs FAQ
- Is docs free?
- Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use docs?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does docs work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use docs commercially?
- The licence is GPL-2.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
