KNIME Analytics Platform for use in a corporate environment

Here’s the improved version:

Hi there,

I understand that the KNIME Analytics Platform is free and open source.

If we only want to use the KNIME Analytics Platform by itself, is it also free and open source for use in a corporate environment?

I’ve noticed that there is KNIME Hub pricing for small teams and enterprises. Can we use the KNIME Analytics Platform without KNIME Hub? Could you provide some examples of use cases where KNIME Hub would be necessary? Currently, we are testing out the KNIME Analytics Platform, and it seems to fit our needs.

Does knime hub also equates to Knime server?

Thanks!
