SchemaSmith Community License (SSCL)
Version 2.0

Copyright (c) 2024-present SchemaSmith Contributors

1. Permissions

   You are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to:

   a) Use the software for any purpose — personal, commercial, internal,
      educational — without restriction on organization size, revenue,
      database size, or number of environments.

   b) Modify the software for your own use.

   c) Submit contributions (pull requests, patches, issues) to the
      official SchemaSmith repositories.

2. Patent Grant

   Each contributor grants you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free,
   non-exclusive patent license to make, use, and run their contributions
   to this software.

3. Restrictions

   You may NOT:

   a) Redistribute the software — in source or binary form — as a
      standalone product, as a component marketed or provided to third
      parties within another product, or as a service, whether free or
      paid.

      The following do not constitute redistribution or offering the
      software as a service:

      - Using the software to manage databases for your own products
        or services, whether you or your customers host those databases.

      - Providing setup, configuration, or implementation services that
        enable a licensed user to operate the software for their own
        use.

      - Including the software's deployment components in your product's
        installation or update process solely to apply database changes
        required by your own product.

      However, operating the software on an ongoing basis on behalf of
      third parties — such as providing perpetual database management,
      maintenance, or migration services where SchemaSmith is the
      primary tool — is considered offering the software as a service
      and is not permitted under this license.

   b) Offer the software as a hosted or managed service (SaaS, PaaS,
      or similar) where third parties interact with SchemaSmith
      functionality.

   c) Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notices, license text,
      or attribution.

   d) Use the SchemaSmith name, logo, or branding to imply endorsement
      of your product or service.

   For clarity: using SchemaSmith to manage databases for your own
   products is always permitted, whether you or your customers host
   those databases. Consultants may help you set up and configure
   SchemaSmith — but ongoing database management using SchemaSmith
   must be performed by your own organization, not outsourced to a
   third party as a perpetual service.

4. Contributions

   By submitting a contribution to this project, you agree that:

   a) Your contribution is licensed under the same terms as this
      license.

   b) You have the legal right to make the contribution and, to the
      best of your knowledge, it does not violate any third party's
      intellectual property rights.

   c) You grant the SchemaSmith project maintainers a perpetual,
      worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify,
      and distribute your contribution in all SchemaSmith database
      management products, including commercial editions.

   d) You retain all ownership rights to your contributions.

5. No Warranty

   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
   EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES
   OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
   NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT
   HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY,
   WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
   FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR
   OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

6. Termination

   This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its
   terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the software
   and destroy all copies in your possession.

   If you cure the breach within 30 days of becoming aware of it,
   your license is automatically reinstated, provided this is your
   first breach. For subsequent breaches, reinstatement requires
   written permission from the SchemaSmith project maintainers.

   Termination of this license does not affect any contribution
   licenses granted under Section 4, which survive termination.

7. Governing Law

   This license is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA,
   without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any disputes
   arising under this license shall be subject to the exclusive
   jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida.

8. License Versioning

   This license applies to the version of the software with which it
   is distributed. Updated versions of the software may be released
   under updated license terms. Your use of any version of the
   software is governed by the license distributed with that version.
