Bedrock Non-Commercial License v1.0

Copyright (c) 2011-2024 Digital Bazaar, Inc. All rights reserved.

Summary

This license allows the licensee to use Bedrock and its software modules for non-commercial purposes such as self-study, research, personal projects, or for evaluation purposes. If the licensee uses Bedrock directly or indirectly to generate revenue, or to provide products or services to more than 500 people (users), the licensee must immediately obtain a non-profit or commercial license.

Examples

These are examples of cases that are allowed by this license:

  • The licensee is an individual that creates Bedrock-dependent software for personal use only.
  • The licensee is an individual or group of students/researchers that uses Bedrock to experiment with an idea for a non-commercial project.
  • The licensee is a startup company that prototypes a Bedrock-dependent product before they have cash flow and will be testing the prototype software with less than 500 users. The service will not generate revenue of any kind.
  • The licensee is a for-profit organization that creates a product or service that is used by less than 500 users and is built with or integrates with Bedrock. The service must be exclusively provided for free and no parent, subsidiary, agent, or affiliate organization may profit from its use.

  • The licensee is a non-profit that receives funding to create and/or run a Bedrock-dependent service.
  • The licensee is a startup company with Bedrock-dependent software that is funded by another organization.
