Copyright (c) 2026 J. Philipp de Graaff, www.playsheep.de
1. Definitions
"Software" means the software and its documentation supplied under this
licence, in source or binary form. The accompanying copyright notice or
project information identifies the covered software.
"Derivative" means any work based on the Software or containing a
substantial part of it.
"You" means the person or organisation exercising the permissions below.
Third-party components identified as separately licensed remain governed
by their own licences. This licence does not restrict the rights granted
by those licences.
2. Permission to use
You may use the Software for any purpose, without charge. This expressly
includes use inside a company, an authority or any other organisation,
and use as a tool while performing paid work for a third party.
Documents and other input data do not become subject to this licence
merely because they are processed with the Software. You may use, copy,
modify, redistribute and sell documents produced with the Software,
including formatting styles incorporated by its export function, without
the restrictions imposed by this licence. This output exception does not
grant rights in third-party content or permit distribution of the
application itself as an exported document.
3. Permission to copy, modify and redistribute
You may copy the Software, modify it and redistribute the original or a
Derivative, free of charge, provided that:
a) this licence and the copyright and authorship notices are retained in
full and remain visible in the source;
b) modified files are marked as modified, stating who changed them and when;
c) a Derivative is not presented as the original software, and the software's
name is not used in a way that suggests the copyright holder endorses it.
4. Restriction on sale and commercial distribution
Without prior written permission from the copyright holder, you may not:
a) sell the Software or a Derivative, or licence it for a fee;
b) distribute the Software or a Derivative as, or as part of, a product or
service that is offered for payment, where the Software provides a
substantial part of that product's or service's function or value;
c) offer the Software or a Derivative as a hosted or managed service.
Section 4(c) applies whether or not the service is offered for payment.
Section 2 is not limited by this section. Using the Software as a tool to
do paid work remains permitted.
If you would like to do something this section does not allow, please ask.
Separate commercial licences are available.
5. No trademark or patent licence
This licence grants no trademark rights in the software's name, the name
Playsheep, or any logo, and no rights under any patent.
6. No warranty
The Software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express
or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The Software may
contain errors and may produce incomplete or incorrect results.
Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the copyright holder
shall not be liable for any loss of data, loss of profit, business
interruption or any other direct, indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages arising out of the use of or inability to use the
Software. Liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory
law remains unaffected. This includes, in particular, liability for intent,
gross negligence, and culpable injury to life, body or health.
8. Termination
Your rights under this licence end automatically if you breach it. They
are reinstated if you cure the breach within 30 days of becoming aware of it.
9. Severability and language
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in
force. The English text is the binding version. Any translation is provided
for convenience only.
