no — a full 29,439-entry tree carries one MIT LICENSE and no ee/ or separately licensed directory

CrewAI is released under the MIT license, and its full repository tree carries no second license file or separately licensed enterprise directory; the only enterprise-named path is an MIT-licensed CLI client that points the tool at a hosted CrewAI AMP endpoint. AMP's pricing page sells SSO, RBAC, PII redaction and deployment options beside the framework but names no capability the open-source core lacks, so the framework itself is not gated behind the paid platform.

  Full untruncated recursive tree, 29,439 entries. The only license path is the root LICENSE. The enterprise-named paths are docs/images/enterprise/*.png, lib/cli/src/crewai_cli/enterprise/ and its tests - no separately licensed directory, no license-key module, no closed package the framework imports.
