# PolyForm Small Business License 1.0.0
|
||
|
||
<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.***
|
||
