# Ironflow License

**Version 1.0 — 2026-05-08**

This file contains the binding legal terms under which Ironflow is offered.
A plain-English summary lives at `docs/explanation/licensing.md`. If the two
disagree, this file controls.

> **Lawyer review status:** v1 DIY-substitute. The licensor entity is
> resolved. Three sections below are original prose rather than FSL template
> text and have not been counsel-reviewed. Review is tracked in issue #777 and
> is due before the first paid customer ships:
>
>   - "Personal-Use and Evaluation Carve-Out" — supplemental to the FSL
>     Permitted Purpose, added to match the worked examples in
>     `docs/explanation/licensing.md` per the plan body. JetBrains Toolbox and
>     Postman free-tier EULAs were the reference for the carve-out shape, but
>     the wording is ours.
>   - "Governing Law and Venue"
>   - "Commercial Licensing"
>
> This is a disclosure, not a publication gate. These terms ship on every
> public release channel today — npm, the Go module proxy, PyPI, the releases
> mirror and ironflow.run — and an earlier wording of this block claimed
> otherwise while four releases went out past it.
>
> **Versioning:** revised terms apply on next install. Each release ships
> the LICENSE that was effective at the time the artifact was built.
> Continuing to use a previously installed version under its prior terms
> is permitted; upgrading to a newer release accepts the LICENSE shipped
> with that release.

   using the Software in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

### Patents

To the extent your use for a Permitted Purpose would necessarily infringe our
patents, the license grant above includes a license under our patents. If you
make a claim against any party that the Software infringes or contributes to
the infringement of any patent, then your patent license to the Software ends
immediately.

The Terms and Conditions apply to all copies, modifications and derivatives of

IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE
SOFTWARE, INCLUDING INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY IN ADVANCE.

Except for displaying the License Details and identifying us as the origin of
the Software, you have no right under these Terms and Conditions to use our
trademarks, trade names, service marks or product names.

We hereby irrevocably grant you an additional license to use the Software under
the Apache License, Version 2.0 that is effective on the second anniversary of
the date we make the Software available. On or after that date, you may use the
Software under the Apache License, Version 2.0, in which case the following
will apply:

## Personal-Use and Evaluation Carve-Out

> _Supplemental to the FSL Permitted Purpose above. Pending counsel review._

The following uses are explicitly permitted in addition to the FSL Permitted
Purposes listed above:

1. **Personal use.** Use of the Software by a natural person for that
   person's personal, non-commercial purposes — including hobby projects,
   self-education, and side projects that do not generate revenue or
   commercial advantage.

2. **Evaluation.** Use of the Software by any individual or organization for
   the purpose of evaluating the Software prior to a commercial purchase
   decision, for a period of up to ninety (90) days from first install.
   Evaluation use does not require notification.

These carve-outs are non-transferable and do not extend to redistribution,
sublicensing, or any Competing Use as defined in the FSL Permitted Purpose
section.

## Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware,
United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be
brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and
you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

## Commercial Licensing

Use, or any commercial use case for which a separate paid license is required
under our Cloud or Enterprise terms — contact license@ironflow.run to discuss
a commercial license.
