|
|
|
<https://polyformproject.org/licenses/small-business/1.0.0>
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance
|
|
|
|
In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree to them as both
|
|
strict obligations and conditions to all your licenses.
|
|
|
|
## Copyright License
|
|
|
|
The licensor grants you a copyright license for the software to do everything
|
|
you might do with the software that would otherwise infringe the licensor's
|
|
copyright in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may only distribute
|
|
the software according to [Distribution License](#distribution-license) and
|
|
make changes or new works based on the software according to [Changes and
|
|
New Works License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
|
|
|
|
## Distribution License
|
|
|
|
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to distribute copies
|
|
of the software. Your license to distribute covers distributing the software
|
|
with changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
|
|
|
|
## Notices
|
|
|
|
You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of the software from
|
|
you also gets a copy of these terms or the URL for them above, as well as
|
|
copies of any plain-text lines beginning with `Required Notice:` that the
|
|
licensor provided with the software. For example:
|
|
|
|
> Required Notice: Copyright Yoyodyne, Inc. (http://example.com)
|
|
|
|
## Changes and New Works License
|
|
|
|
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to make changes and
|
|
new works based on the software for any permitted purpose.
|
|
|
|
## Patent License
|
|
|
|
The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that covers patent
|
|
claims the licensor can license, or becomes able to license, that you would
|
|
infringe by using the software.
|
|
|
|
## Fair Use
|
|
|
|
You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the law. These terms
|
|
do not limit them.
|
|
|
|
## Small Business
|
|
|
|
Use of the software for the benefit of your company is use for a permitted
|
|
purpose if your company has fewer than 100 total individuals working as employees
|
|
and independent contractors, and less than 1,000,000 USD (2019) total revenue
|
|
in the prior tax year. Adjust this revenue threshold for inflation according
|
|
to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics' consumer price index for
|
|
all urban consumers, U.S. city average, for all items, not seasonally adjusted,
|
|
with 1982–1984=100 reference base.
|
|
|
|
## No Other Rights
|
|
|
|
These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of your licenses
|
|
to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from granting licenses to anyone else.
|
|
These terms do not imply any other licenses.
|
|
|
|
## Patent Defense
|
|
|
|
If you make any written claim that the software infringes or contributes to
|
|
infringement of any patent, your patent license for the software granted under
|
|
these terms ends immediately. If your company makes such a claim, your patent
|
|
license ends immediately for work on behalf of your company.
|
|
|
|
## Violations
|
|
|
|
The first time you are notified in writing that you have violated any of these
|
|
terms, or done anything with the software not covered by your licenses, your
|
|
licenses can nonetheless continue if you come into full compliance with these
|
|
terms, and take practical steps to correct past violations, within 32 days
|
|
of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses end immediately.
|
|
|
|
## No Liability
|
|
|
|
***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without any warranty
|
|
or condition, and the licensor will not be liable to you for any damages arising
|
|
out of these terms or the use or nature of the software, under any kind of
|
|
legal claim.***
