IMPORTANT TIP: If you're planning to redistribute this project/product or if you are planning to use it for any commercial purpose (if the license permits these uses of course), then it is highly recommended that you 'copy-paste' this License and store it along with your download(s) for future reference.

License

BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THIS PROJECT, PRODUCT, FILES OR ANY PART THEREOF (AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTATION) FROM XNL FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES, YOU ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY ENTITY BY WHICH YOU ARE EMPLOYED AND/OR ENGAGED AGREE TO BE BOUND TO THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

IMPORTANT
Do note that all sections/'chapters' bellow constitute the entire license and that they are 'interconnected'. This for example means that if there is a section about Closed Source/Binaries License, that this doesn't mean that the rest of the license doesn't to those binaries. It just means that that section is specifically aimed at those files, while the rest of the license (where applicable) is also 'in effect' for those binaries.

(Additional) License(s) in Project, Product or Download

This project, product, the files etc in this download/these download(s) contain (one or more additional) license(s).
When you download this project, product, files, download(s) etc, you agree that you will read the license(s) included in the download and it's files, projects, products etc and that you will delete 'the downloaded content' if you can't (or don't want to) agree to the included license(s).

These license(s) will most likely be present in one or more of the following ways:
- As license agreement/EULA window (in compiled software for example)
- As License 'embedded' into the documentation (like a datasheet for example)
- As additional license file which can be included into the Download (or archive file like a zip file).
- As as 'commented text' in source-code or as 'additional license file' in source code.

Don't worry, this license or these licenses will not be 'sneaky hidden' or hard to find, these licenses can be found in their expected or logical locations (as mentioned in the examples above).

Commercial Use Allowed

Commercial use of this project, product, it's files, download(s) etc is allowed, which means that you are allowed to use it for own financial gain, there could be however (additional) restrictions included in a license (or licenses) which is supplied (within) the project, product, download(s) etc which limits the extent of how (far/much) you are allowed to use it commercially. By using, downloading or otherwise using this project, product, it's files and/or download(s), you confirm that you will first check the supplied content/download(s) for additional licenses to see if there (additional) restrictions which limit the extend of the Commercial Use Allowed Permission Clause, before using it for commercial purposes in any way.

A project/product which for example does allow Commercial Use within your company or organization under certain (licensing) conditions but does not allow you to (re-)sell the project/product would be XEWA^™. When you consult the XEWA^™ License (which is provided with, and build-into XEWA^™), you will find this (additional) license information and/or limitations in the 'included license'.

If the project, product, code, files etc don't include any (additional) license(s), then you are allowed to use this project, product, it's files, download(s) etc, in any possible way for commercial use (including (re-)selling it. If there however is an (additional) license included with the project, product, it's files or download(s) you hereby agree that you will also read that license and accept that license prior to using the project, product or file(s), and that you will refrain from using the obtained 'content' in any way if you can't (or don't want to) agree to the (additionally) included license(s).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure that you also consult the rest of the license(s) to see if clauses/rules like Attribution Required or ShareAlike for example apply, because even if you are allowed to use the product for any type of commercial use, it could still be that attribution required or ShareAlike 'rules' apply.

ShareAlike

Our ShareAlike Clause means that if you are are for example allowed to share/redistribute modified versions of this project, product, it's files, download(s) etc, that you have to share it under the same conditions as this original work.

Some examples of what this means for you:

• If the rest of the license for example permits you to modify and then redistribute your own 'adaption/version' of this project, product, it's files etc, you would then need to comply with the following 'rules':
  • If this original project, product, it's files or download(s) etc are 'open-source' (provide source code/files with it), then your modified version can only be published/redistributed if you also supply your (adapted/modified) source code along with it.
  • This also means that you are not allowed to take a project, product etc with the 'ShareAlike Clause' in it's license from our website, modify it and then start redistributing or even selling it as 'closed-source' only.
  • You are not allowed to 'remove' clauses or 'rules' from the original license (just to give an example: You are not allowed to remove the 'Attribution Required' or the 'Commercial Use Not Allowed' clauses from your version/license).
  • You are not allowed to restrict the original license with additional clauses and/or rules of your own.

We can understand it if some developers/creators put a lot of effort in 'upgrading' existing works, but that they would not like our (for example) 'keep open-source also open-source on redistribution rules', but all I/we can say about that is: Sorry, but that's the 'game of this license'. If you don't like it, then just create your own stuff from scratch 😉

The ShareAlike clause (obviously) also remains fully enforced if you decide to redistribute unaltered versions, and thus the same 'rules and examples' as shown above would apply, but to the unaltered version/re-distribution.
