# Commercial exception

MSO is licensed under [PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0](./LICENSE). That license does not
permit commercial use.

This file records a separate, discretionary exception offered by the licensor.

## Grant

The licensor, rahmanef63, may grant a commercial license covering the same software on
terms agreed in writing. Such a license is separate from, and additional to, the
PolyForm Noncommercial license. It is not automatic and is not implied by:

- a public fork, mirror or archive of this repository;
- a copy obtained under the earlier MIT grant;
- possession of this file;
- any statement in the documentation describing commercial capability of the software.

## What a commercial license covers

Only what the written grant names. At minimum it should state:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Scope | which versions, commits or artifacts are covered |
| Rights | install, run, modify, distribute, or host for third parties |
| Parties | the named licensee and any affiliates |
| Term | start, duration and termination conditions |
| Fee | amount or "no fee", so the arrangement is unambiguous |

## What this exception does not do

- It does not weaken the PolyForm Noncommercial license for anyone else. Personal,
  study, hobby, research and noncommercial-organization use continues under that
  license without asking.
- It does not revoke the permanent MIT grant on commits made before the license change.
  See [`docs/LICENSE-HISTORY.md`](./docs/LICENSE-HISTORY.md).
- It does not grant rights over third-party work listed in
  [`LICENSES/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`](./LICENSES/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md). A commercial
  licensee still owes those upstream projects their own license terms — for example
  Apache-2.0 notice obligations for the mirrored theme registry, or a commercial n8n
  agreement if n8n is ever bundled rather than framed.

## How to request

Open an issue or contact the licensor through the address on the repository profile.
State the intended use, the versions involved, and whether the software will be
redistributed or offered to third parties as a service.
