"Binary Release" refers to pre-compiled executable +versions of the Software provided by Project. By accessing or using the +Binary Release, User agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. + +1. Applicability + +Project agrees to provide User with the Binary Release in exchange for the +Fees outlined in Section 2, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Fee +applies only to Users that generate revenue by the Software. +Non-revenue-generating use of the Software is exempt from this Fee. In +addition, Users who pay separate support and/or maintenance fees to the +maintainers of the Software are exempt from the Fee outlined in this +Agreement. This distinction ensures that duplicate fees are not imposed, +promoting fairness and consistency while respecting alternative support +arrangements. + +2. Monthly Fee and Payment Terms + +Revenue-generating Users required to pay the Fee shall follow the payment +terms set forth by the Project. Failure to comply with these terms may result +in suspending access to the Binary Release. However, this does not restrict +the User from obtaining or redistributing binaries from other sources or +self-compiling them. + +3. Nature of the Fee + +The Fee is not a license fee. The Software's source code is licensed to User +under the OSI License and remains freely distributable under the terms of the +OSI License and any applicable open-source licenses. + +4. Conflicts with OSI License + +To the extent any term of this Agreement conflicts with User's rights +under the OSI License regarding the Software, the OSI License shall govern. +This Agreement applies only to the Binary Release and does not limit User's +ability to access, modify, or distribute the Software's source code or +self-compiled binaries. User may independently compile binaries from the +Software's source code without this Agreement, subject to OSI License terms. +User may redistribute the Binary Release received under this Agreement, +provided such redistribution complies with the OSI License (e.g., including +copyright and permission notices). This Agreement imposes no additional +restrictions on such rights. + +5. Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability + +THE SOFTWARE AND BINARY RELEASE ARE PROVIDED BY THE PROJECT "AS IS" AND ANY +EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE +DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROJECT OR ITS CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR +ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL +DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR +SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER +CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, +OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE +OF THE SOFTWARE AND BINARY RELEASE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF +SUCH DAMAGE. -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
