n8n is a software company founded in Germany by Jan Oberhauser and headquartered in Berlin. The company provides a free and open node-based Workflow Automation tool that can be self-hosted, easily extended, and used with third party web applications or custom in-house tools to automate repetitive tasks.

n8n takes a different approach to open source by applying the ​Commons Clause​ license to the product. The principles behind this “Fair Code Movement” are for the code to be:
 * Free and sustainable
 * Open but pragmatic
 * Community oriented
 * Meritocratic and fair
