<https://polyformproject.org/licenses/small-business/1.0.0>

## 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.

## Fair Use

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

## Small Business

Use of the software for the benefit of your company is use for a permitted
purpose if your company has fewer than 100 total individuals working as employees
and independent contractors, and less than 1,000,000 USD (2019) total revenue
in the prior tax year. Adjust this revenue threshold for inflation according
to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics' consumer price index for
all urban consumers, U.S. city average, for all items, not seasonally adjusted,
with 1982–1984=100 reference base.

## 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.***
