Yes you need get approval from author @gunthercox either through email/written copy and get it back a singed copy.

Hi @srss-raju you don't need to pay anything or display a logo. ChatterBot is free to use commercially because it is licensed under a standard BSD license. Many popular Python libraries also use this license such as Django, Django REST Framework and the Python programming language itself.

Master, One question, If the person/organization is going to modify any algorithm/codebase does it required any approval?

[gunthercox]

No approval is needed for code modifications.

@srss-raju did you received all required information?
