Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.","source":"https://trust.dagger.io","question":"What security certifications does Dagger have?","confidence":0.7},{"answer":"Yes. Dagger is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification.
