Strawly License

  • Free: use, modify, and self-host Strawly for personal projects, and for any organization running it on cloud accounts it owns, including for your job.
  • Paid: running Strawly for other people, offering it as a hosted service, or selling a product that includes it. Write to licensing@strawly.app.
  • This license has no expiry and does not convert to open source over time.

The "Additional Permission: Internal Use" section below grants the free organizational use described above.

Source First License 1.1

Acceptance

By using the software, you agree to all of the terms and conditions below.

Copyright License

Strawly (the "Licensor") grants you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use, copy, distribute, make available, and prepare derivative works of the software, in each case subject to the limitations below.

Limitations

You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application.

You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove, disable, or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment or donation to the Licensor, and you may not modify that functionality to redirect payments or donations away from the Licensor. This applies to any copy you distribute to others and to any instance of the software that other people can access, whether or not you distribute a copy.

You may not alter, remove, or obscure any licensing, copyright, or other notices of the Licensor in the software. Any use of the Licensor's trademarks is subject to applicable law.

Additional Permission: Internal Use

This Additional Permission is granted by the Licensor and expands the license above. Where it conflicts with the Limitations section, this section prevails.

You may use, run, and modify the software for Internal Use, free of charge, including within a company or other commercial organization and including use of a commercial character, without a separate agreement with the Licensor.

"Internal Use" means using the software to discover, measure, report on, or act on the cost and usage of cloud resources in accounts, subscriptions, projects, or billing accounts that you or your company own or control.

You may distribute copies of the software, including modified copies, free of charge to your company and to contractors acting on your behalf, solely for Internal Use on your behalf, provided each copy includes these terms and, for modified copies, the notice required by the Notices section.

This Additional Permission does not allow any of the following, each of which requires a separate commercial license from the Licensor:

  • operating the software, or making its functionality available, for or on behalf of any person or organization other than you or your company, including as a hosted, managed, or multi-tenant service;
  • providing the software, or access to a running instance of it, to third parties for a fee or other commercial consideration;
  • incorporating the software, or any part of it, into a product or service offered to third parties for a fee or other commercial consideration.

Patents

If you make any written claim that the software infringes or contributes to infringement of any patent, your license for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If your company makes such a claim, your license ends immediately for work on behalf of your company.

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. If you modify the software, you must include in any modified copies of the software a prominent notice stating that you have modified the software, such as but not limited to, a statement in a readme file or an in-application about section.

Fair Use

You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the law. These terms do not limit them.

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.

Termination

If you use the software in violation of these terms, such use is not licensed, and your license will automatically terminate. If the licensor provides you with a notice of your violation, and you cease all violation of this license no later than 30 days after you receive that notice, your license will be reinstated retroactively. However, if you violate these terms after such reinstatement, any additional violation of these terms will cause your license to terminate automatically and permanently.

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.
