# PolyForm Shield License 1.0.0

<https://polyformproject.org/licenses/shield/1.0.0&gt;

## 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.

## Noncompete

Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any

product that competes with the software or any product the

licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software.

## Competition

Goods and services compete even when they provide functionality

through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical

platforms. Applications can compete with services, libraries

with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on,

even if they're written in different programming languages

or for different computer architectures. Goods and services

compete even when provided free of charge. If you market a

product as a practical substitute for the software or another

product, it definitely competes.

## New Products

If you are using the software to provide a product that does

not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings

your product into competition by providing a new version of

the software or another product using the software, you may

continue using versions of the software available under these

terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not

any later versions.

## Discontinued Products

You may begin using the software to compete with a product

or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has

stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text

line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the

software that mentions that line of business. For example:

> Licensor Line of Business: YoyodyneCMS Content Management

System (http://example.com/cms)

## Sales of Business

If the licensor or any of its affiliates sells a line of

business developing the software or using the software

to provide a product, the buyer can also enforce

[Noncompete](#noncompete) for that product.

## 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.

## 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.***
