The license, in plain English
- License
- Sustainable Use License
- Use it at work?
- Usually for internal use — read the terms before offering it as a service or competing product.
- Share your changes?
- Not the point: the license restricts how you may use it, not just how you share it.
Our reading, not legal advice — the repository’s LICENSE file is the source of truth.
