Using self-hosted n8n as part of my backend

Is it legal under the n8n license to use n8n as part of my service
backend, self-hosted and modify the source code to fit my needs?

I am charging for my service.
Running automations is a major part of my service, I would be pre-
building these automations using n8n, so the users of my service can't
create their own automations. This means that I am not re-selling n8n
completely but using it's scheduling, DAG task flow and existing
integrations to save instead of developing these difficult features
myself.

So is this legal under the license?

Thanks guys!

Read the n8n license, and when in doubt ask the creators directly
through the n8n Github.
