License Clarification

This document is provided for clarity only and does not replace or override the Polyform Internal Use License 1.0.0.
It explains how the maintainers of this project interpret and apply the license.

1. Internal Organisational Use

"Internal organisational use" means use by employees and individual contractors of your organisation,

Examples of permitted use:

  • Running the software in production inside your organisation.
  • Using the software to scan, test, or monitor systems owned or controlled by your organisation.
  • Modifying the software for internal use by your employees or contractors.

Examples of prohibited use without a commercial license:

  • Using the software as part of a managed service or SaaS offering to third parties.
  • Embedding or bundling the software into a commercial product or service.
  • Reselling or sublicensing the software.
  • Using the software in paid consulting engagements for clients.

2. Production Use

Production use within your own organisation is permitted under this license,
as long as such use is solely for your organisation's benefit and not for any third party.

3. No Distribution

The Polyform Internal Use License prohibits distribution of the software.
You may not share the software or modified versions of it outside your organisation,
except as expressly allowed under a separate commercial license.

4. Commercial Licensing

If you wish to: - Embed or bundle the software in a product or service, - Offer it as a managed service or SaaS, - Use it as part of a paid consulting engagement, - Or otherwise use it for commercial purposes beyond internal use,

you must obtain a separate commercial license from the maintainers.

The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.
The maintainers are not liable for damages arising from use of the software.
