Community License and LinkedIn Profile

Hi,

I work at a company that is probably not eligible for the Community License, and that's what's obviously shown on my LinkedIn profile (that I work there). However, I'm interested in the Community License for projects I do as a freelance and/or on my spare time and are not related to the company I work at.

I wonder if I will have any issue in requesting or using the community license.

Thanks!

LinkedIn is a expert community where we deal with every different with respect and ... Violating our community rules can result in motion in opposition to your account or content material ... Which they may deliver by using posting under a Creative Commons license.

Yes, Freelancing is a good option for taking projects from companies, contacting via Linkedin. First, you should complete your Linkedin profile and customize it according to your job profile. You can take help from professional Linkedin profile writers available online.

Hi,

In general, the Community License is tied to your organization’s eligibility, not your personal LinkedIn profile. If your employer is not eligible, that doesn’t automatically prevent you from using the license for separate freelance or personal projects, as long as those projects are truly independent and not related to your company work."Surfa Solutions"

However, since licensing rules can be strict about usage context, it’s a good idea to clearly maintain separation between your work and freelance activities, and ensure you’re not using the license on behalf of your employer.

To avoid any risk, I’d recommend confirming your specific case directly with the licensing/support team so they can give an official answer.
