go-libp2p has a permissive file on record. That is not a cleared export. Non-commercial or demo use does not remove the licence duty. When in doubt, link — do not copy.

Use

  • A network layer when you have already decided peers must find each other

Do not use for

  • A blockchain, by itself
  • NAT traversal as a business model

Risks

  • Peer identity is not a legal identity.
  • Eclipse and relay abuse are network attacks.

Reviews required

  • Whether you need a peer network at all
