+ This table is a plain-language guide only; the terms below govern. A
11
+ longer non-binding guide with worked examples:
12
+ <https://github.com/Vivswan/licenses/blob/main/individual-small-organization-license/1.1.0/GUIDE.md>
13
+
14
+ | You are... | Use it | Fork and build on it | Publish your fork | Change its license |
15
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
16
+ | An individual choosing it for yourself - any purpose, including self-chosen use at your job (once your organization adopts it for your team, department, or organization, that work use is the organization's and needs the organization's license) and your own freelance, sole-proprietor, or own-company work while your trades and businesses, together with organizations you control, fit the small-organization thresholds below; a company you formed, even one you own alone, is an organization for everything beyond your own work | Yes - as your own tool; not to offer the software or its functionality to others as a product or service | Yes | Yes, under this same license | The software: with the licensor's written permission, plus the agreement of any fork author whose changes that permission does not already cover. Your own additions: always your copyright - under any terms you choose when they contain none of the software's expression and are shared apart from it; as part of the fork, they carry this same license |
17
+ | An organization with fewer than 100 people and under 10,000,000 USD (2026, inflation-adjusted) in total yearly income of every kind - revenue, receipts, contributions, grants, and appropriations included - affiliates counted | Yes, internally only - no client deliverables, and the software and its functionality stay out of anything offered to others (products built with its help are fine); output it generates may be published for its own repositories and systems | No - contact the licensor | No - contact the licensor | No - contact the licensor |
18
+ | Any other organization | No - contact the licensor | No - contact the licensor | No - contact the licensor | No - contact the licensor |
19
+
20
+ Except for an individual's own qualifying use in trades, businesses,
21
+ and organizations they control (as the [Individual
22
+ License](#individual-license) provides), an organization paying for,
23
+ requiring,
24
+ directing, or provisioning an
25
+ individual's use - or [adopting](#definitions) the software for a team,
26
+ a department, or the organization - counts as the organization using
27
+ it. Service providers may host and transmit the software for licensed
28
+ users (see [Service Providers](#service-providers)). To license this
29
+ software beyond these grants, contact the licensor at the address in
30
+ the Required Notice above.
31
+
32
+ ## Acceptance
33
+
34
+ In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree to them as
35
+ both strict obligations and conditions to all your licenses. An
36
+ organization can accept these terms only through the sections that
37
+ address organizations: the [Small Organization
38
+ License](#small-organization-license) (by use), [Service
39
+ Providers](#service-providers) (by providing the service or doing
40
+ anything that section allows), and [Contributions](#contributions) (by
41
+ submitting or authorizing a
42
+ submission). The output licenses to recipients in the [Individual
43
+ License](#individual-license) and the [Small Organization
44
+ License](#small-organization-license) are granted without acceptance.
45
+
46
+ ## Individual License
47
+
48
+ The licensor grants you a copyright license to do everything you might
49
+ do with the software that would otherwise infringe the licensor's
50
+ copyright in it, for any purpose, personal or business, if you are a
51
+ natural person acting in your individual capacity. This includes your
52
+ own use of the software in the course of your employment by an
53
+ organization you do not [control](#definitions), provided no
54
+ organization pays for, requires, directs, or provisions that use, and
55
+ the use is not within the scope of an organization's
56
+ [adoption](#definitions) (see [Self-Chosen Use at
57
+ Work](#self-chosen-use-at-work)). It also includes your own work in
58
+ your own trades and businesses - freelance and sole-proprietor work,
59
+ and your own work for organizations you control - provided your trades
60
+ and businesses, measured as the [Definitions](#definitions) provide
61
+ together with every organization you control, would qualify as a
62
+ [small organization](#definitions). While they qualify, your own use
63
+ in them stays licensed by this grant; and, while they qualify, for
64
+ your own use - in them,
65
+ and in your employment above - a payment, requirement, direction, or
66
+ provisioning by those trades, businesses, or organizations, and their
67
+ adopting the software, are disregarded in applying this grant,
68
+ [Self-Chosen Use at Work](#self-chosen-use-at-work), and
69
+ [Organizations](#organizations): those triggers,
70
+ and [adoption](#definitions), reach other people's work for them, and
71
+ a trigger one of them applies, or an adoption one of them makes, at an
72
+ outside organization's specific
73
+ direction or requirement, or under an arrangement specifically
74
+ providing for it, counts as that outside organization's own. If they
75
+ stop qualifying, the wind-down in the [Small
76
+ Organization License](#small-organization-license) applies to that
77
+ work the same way, on the same once-in-36-months terms; beyond it,
78
+ that work needs a separate license (see [Separate
79
+ Licenses](#separate-licenses)), while your personal use and your
80
+ employment use licensed above stay licensed. Using the software as
81
+ designed is likewise licensed: you may generate, keep, use, and
82
+ publish its output, even where that output carries the software's
83
+ expression, and the [Changes and New Works
84
+ License](#changes-and-new-works-license) and [Distribution
85
+ License](#distribution-license) sections do not apply to output as
86
+ such. An organization or person that gets output you generate under
87
+ this license may keep, use, and publish it for its own repositories
88
+ and systems, whatever its size; this licenses the output only and
89
+ gives them no license to the software itself. The output licenses in
90
+ these terms cover only rights the licensor is entitled to license:
91
+ rights of others in material appearing in output are not licensed
92
+ here. This grant does not include providing the software or its
93
+ functionality to others, or running the software within a product or
94
+ service offered to others - whether hosted, embedded, or operated by
95
+ you on their behalf. Using the software as a tool in your own work,
96
+ including work you do for others, and sharing its output as licensed
97
+ above, is not providing its functionality; offering to run it for
98
+ others - as a service, an interface, an agent, or a per-job
99
+ arrangement - is. Sharing copies is licensed only as the [Distribution
100
+ License](#distribution-license) provides. However, you may only make
101
+ changes and new works based on the software according to [Changes and New Works
102
+ License](#changes-and-new-works-license), and share the software
103
+ according to [Distribution License](#distribution-license).
104
+
105
+ ## Self-Chosen Use at Work
106
+
107
+ Your use of the software in the course of your employment or other
108
+ work for an organization remains use in your individual capacity
109
+ unless an organization pays for, requires, directs, or provisions that
110
+ use, or the use is within the scope of an organization's
111
+ [adoption](#definitions). While an organization's adoption continues,
112
+ use within its scope is the organization's - not licensed by the
113
+ [Individual License](#individual-license) - even where you would also
114
+ have chosen the software yourself. Your own work for an organization
115
+ you [control](#definitions) is not employment under this section: the
116
+ [Individual License](#individual-license)'s trades-and-businesses
117
+ clause governs it.
118
+
119
+ If, however, your use would remain use in your individual capacity
120
+ under the first sentence of this section but for any adoptions whose
121
+ scope covers it, and you do not know that an adoption's scope covers
122
+ that use - whether your use began before or after the adoption - your
123
+ use remains your own and stays licensed under the [Individual
124
+ License](#individual-license) until you know that an adoption's scope
125
+ covers your use, and for 30 days after that, so you can stop using
126
+ the software or the organization can obtain or already hold a license
127
+ covering it. Use in that period is licensed and is not a violation of
128
+ these terms. This grace licenses only your use, not the organization's
129
+ adoption or use, and you can rely on it only once for any one
130
+ adoption.
131
+
132
+ None of the circumstances the [adoption](#definitions) definition
133
+ excludes - knowledge of or permission for an individual's
134
+ independently chosen use, a recorded clearance for it that stops
135
+ short of presenting the software as a unit's standard, preferred, or
136
+ expected tool, received work product, output, or other incidental
137
+ benefit, or colleagues sharing their own self-chosen setups - is, by
138
+ itself, adoption or makes an organization count as using the software;
139
+ they do not override the preceding rules for a use an organization
140
+ pays for, requires, directs, or provisions.
141
+
142
+ ## Small Organization License
143
+
144
+ The licensor grants a [small organization](#definitions) that agrees to
145
+ these terms a copyright license to do everything with the software that
146
+ would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright in it, but only for
147
+ the organization's internal operations, subject to the limits below: its
148
+ own administration and the development and operation of its own
149
+ products, services, and systems. Internal operations do not include
150
+ producing deliverables for others, providing the software or its
151
+ functionality to others, or running the software within a product or
152
+ service offered to others. Operating the organization's own products and
153
+ services remains internal even when they are offered to others, so long
154
+ as what is offered does not include the software, its functionality, or,
155
+ beyond the output licensed below, its expression.
156
+
157
+ Using the software as designed is licensed: the organization may
158
+ configure the software and generate, keep, use, and publish the
159
+ software's output for its own repositories and systems, even where that
160
+ output carries the software's expression. Nothing more is granted: the
161
+ organization may not otherwise change the software or make new works
162
+ based on it, may not distribute it, and may not offer it - or, except
163
+ for output licensed above, anything carrying its expression - to others.
164
+ Products and services the organization builds and offers that contain
165
+ none of the software's expression are its own. An organization or person
166
+ that gets output generated under this section may keep, use, and publish
167
+ it for its own repositories and systems; this licenses the output only
168
+ and gives them no license to the software itself, and it covers only
169
+ rights the licensor is entitled to license, as in the [Individual
170
+ License](#individual-license).
171
+
172
+ An organization accepts these terms by using the software, and each use
173
+ is also its representation that it qualifies as a small organization or
174
+ is within the wind-down below. At each use, headcount and group
175
+ composition are counted as they then stand, and income is counted as the
176
+ small organization definition provides. An organization stops qualifying
177
+ on the first day the group no longer meets the definition - by growth,
178
+ acquisition, merger, or otherwise - and keeps this license for 90 days
179
+ from that day, to obtain a separate license from the licensor or stop
180
+ using the software. Use within that wind-down is licensed and is not a
181
+ violation of these terms. A group can rely on this wind-down only once
182
+ in any 36 months, counting the wind-downs of every organization that is
183
+ or becomes part of the group.
184
+
185
+ This section, the output license in the [Individual
186
+ License](#individual-license), and [Service
187
+ Providers](#service-providers) are the only copyright licenses the
188
+ licensor grants an organization under these terms; apart from that
189
+ output license, the [Individual License](#individual-license), the
190
+ [Changes and New Works License](#changes-and-new-works-license), and the
191
+ [Distribution License](#distribution-license) are granted to natural
192
+ persons only.
193
+
194
+ ## Changes and New Works License
195
+
196
+ The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to make changes
197
+ and new works based on the software - including maintaining a fork on a
198
+ source-hosting platform - for the same purposes and under the same
199
+ conditions as the [Individual License](#individual-license).
200
+
201
+ ## Distribution License
202
+
203
+ The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to share copies
204
+ of the software, and of changes and new works based on it, only under
205
+ these same terms and with the notices required below. You may not offer
206
+ the software, or anything built on it, to others under any other terms
207
+ without the licensor's written permission.
208
+
209
+ ## Downstream Recipients
210
+
211
+ Everyone who gets the software, or changes and new works based on it,
212
+ from you gets their licenses directly under these terms: from the
213
+ licensor for the software, and from each author for that author's
214
+ changes and new works. For changes and new works an author shares under
215
+ these terms, the [Patent License](#patent-license), [Patent
216
+ Defense](#patent-defense), [No Liability](#no-liability), and [No Other
217
+ Rights](#no-other-rights) sections apply with that author as the
218
+ licensor and those changes and new works as the software. You may not
219
+ grant licenses of your own.
220
+
221
+ ## Service Providers
222
+
223
+ These terms also allow any service provider - a source-hosting platform,
224
+ mirror, package registry, or network - to host, store, cache, transmit,
225
+ and copy the software as needed to serve anyone exercising these
226
+ licenses, whether at the direction of someone exercising them or on the
227
+ provider's own initiative for copies that the licensor, or someone
228
+ exercising these licenses, made available. These terms likewise allow
229
+ an organization to copy, install, enable, and configure the software
230
+ as needed to carry out an individual's own request for their
231
+ individually licensed use, or to apply generally applicable security
232
+ or compliance configuration to software an individual independently
233
+ chose for their individually licensed use. This section grants no
234
+ other organizational use.
235
+
236
+ ## Your Own Work
237
+
238
+ Changes and new works you author are your own copyright. When they
239
+ contain none of the software's copyrightable expression - neither the
240
+ licensor's nor other authors' - they are entirely yours, under any terms
241
+ you choose. Combined with any part of the software, they may be shared
242
+ only as the [Distribution License](#distribution-license) allows.
243
+
244
+ ## Relicensing by Permission
245
+
246
+ The licensor may, by written permission, allow a fork or new work based
247
+ on the software to be offered under different terms. That permission
248
+ covers the licensor's copyright and everything the licensor may
249
+ relicense - including contributions received under
250
+ [Contributions](#contributions) - so a fork also needs the agreement of
251
+ any other author whose changes that permission does not cover. Ask via
252
+ the address in the Required Notice.
253
+
254
+ ## Separate Licenses
255
+
256
+ The licensor may offer the software under other terms, including
257
+ commercial terms. If you accept a separate written license from the
258
+ licensor covering the software or a particular use of it, that separate
259
+ license governs that software or use to the extent it says it does;
260
+ these terms continue to govern whatever it does not cover, and a
261
+ separate license you do not accept does not reduce your licenses under
262
+ these terms.
263
+
264
+ ## Contributions
265
+
266
+ By submitting a change or new work to one of the licensor's repositories
267
+ offered under these terms for inclusion in the software - a pull
268
+ request, a patch, or code you offer in an issue or review for inclusion,
269
+ whether or not it is accepted - and unless you conspicuously state when
270
+ you submit it that it is not a contribution, you, and any organization
271
+ on whose behalf you submit or that has authorized your submission, grant
272
+ the licensor a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide,
273
+ royalty-free, transferable license: under copyright, to reproduce,
274
+ modify, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
275
+ distribute, sublicense, and relicense the contribution, alone or as part
276
+ of the software or any other work, under any terms, including commercial
277
+ terms; and under any licensable patent claims that the contribution
278
+ infringes, alone or as part of the software or any other work, to make,
279
+ have made, use, offer to sell, sell, and import it - a patent license
280
+ that extends to everyone who receives the contribution, or anything
281
+ containing it, from the licensor or under terms the licensor grants.
282
+ To the extent the law allows, you waive, and agree not to assert
283
+ against the licensor or anyone exercising rights the licensor grants,
284
+ any moral rights in the contribution; where the law does not allow
285
+ waiver, you consent to every exercise of the rights granted here.
286
+ Material you conspicuously identify, when you submit it, as someone
287
+ else's work, naming its source and, where you know them, its license
288
+ terms, is not a contribution under this section: it stays under its own
289
+ terms, and your grant and representation here do not cover it. You
290
+ represent that you are entitled to grant these licenses, and that any
291
+ organization holding rights in the contribution has authorized you to
292
+ grant them on its behalf.
293
+
294
+ ## Organizations
295
+
296
+ Beyond the [Small Organization License](#small-organization-license),
297
+ the [Service Providers](#service-providers) section, and the output
298
+ license in the [Individual License](#individual-license), the licensor
299
+ grants organizations no further copyright licenses under these terms. No
300
+ corporation, company, partnership, nonprofit, charity, educational
301
+ institution, government body, or other organization gets any further
302
+ right under these terms to use, deploy, integrate, distribute, or
303
+ operate the software or anything built on it, as part of its systems,
304
+ products, services, or operations, regardless of the organization's
305
+ purpose or funding; no individual's licenses extend to use an
306
+ organization pays for, requires, directs, or provisions, or to use
307
+ within the scope of an organization's [adoption](#definitions), except
308
+ as the [Individual License](#individual-license) provides for your own
309
+ use in trades, businesses, and organizations you
310
+ [control](#definitions) and as [Self-Chosen Use at
311
+ Work](#self-chosen-use-at-work) provides during its grace; and,
312
+ subject to the Individual License exception, an
313
+ organization that pays for, requires, directs, or provisions any use -
314
+ an individual's or another organization's - or that adopts the
315
+ software, counts as using the software itself, whether or not the
316
+ organization itself copies it. Many individual licenses are no
317
+ substitute for an organizational one: coordinating separate
318
+ individuals' use of the software into a recurring practice for a team,
319
+ a department, or the organization is adoption (see
320
+ [Definitions](#definitions)). An organization that wants more must get
321
+ a [separate license](#separate-licenses): contact the licensor at the
322
+ address in the Required Notice.
323
+
324
+ ## Notices
325
+
326
+ You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of the software
327
+ from you also gets a copy of these terms, as well as copies of any
328
+ plain-text lines beginning with `Required Notice:` that the licensor
329
+ provided with the software. This section does not apply to output as
330
+ such, even where the output carries the software's expression.
331
+
332
+ ## Patent License
333
+
334
+ The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that covers
335
+ patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able to license, that
336
+ would be infringed by anything these terms allow you to do with the
337
+ software.
338
+
339
+ ## Patent Defense
340
+
341
+ If you make any written claim that the software infringes or contributes
342
+ to infringement of any patent, your patent license for the software
343
+ granted under these terms ends immediately. If you are an organization,
344
+ a written claim by any organization that controls you, is controlled by
345
+ you, or is under common control with you, or by any natural person who
346
+ [controls](#definitions) you or any of them, counts as your claim. If
347
+ you are a natural person, a written claim by any organization you
348
+ control counts as your claim. If an
349
+ organization you work for - or one that controls it, is controlled by
350
+ it, or is under common control with it - makes such a claim, your patent
351
+ license ends immediately for use in the course of your work for, or on
352
+ behalf of, any of those organizations.
353
+
354
+ ## Fair Use
355
+
356
+ You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the law. These
357
+ terms do not limit them.
358
+
359
+ ## No Other Rights
360
+
361
+ These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of your
362
+ licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from granting licenses
363
+ to anyone else. These terms do not imply any other licenses, and grant
364
+ no rights in the licensor's trademarks or names. A platform through
365
+ which the licensor makes the software available may grant you rights
366
+ under its own terms - such as viewing or forking a public repository
367
+ through that platform's functionality. Those rights come from the
368
+ platform's terms alone, reach no further than they provide, and do not
369
+ expand your licenses under these terms.
370
+
371
+ ## Violations
372
+
373
+ If you are notified in writing that you have violated any of these
374
+ terms, or done anything with the software not covered by your licenses,
375
+ and you received no such notice in the preceding 36 months, your
376
+ licenses can nonetheless continue if you come into full compliance with
377
+ these terms, and take practical steps to correct past violations, within
378
+ 32 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses end
379
+ immediately. Notice histories are shared: a notice received by any
380
+ organization in your [group](#definitions), by any organization you
381
+ [control](#definitions), or - if you are an organization - by any
382
+ natural person who controls you, counts under this section as a notice
383
+ you received. A notice counts under this section only as to conduct
384
+ these terms do not license. To the extent a notice concerns use that
385
+ these terms license - including use licensed by the grace in
386
+ [Self-Chosen Use at Work](#self-chosen-use-at-work) or the wind-down
387
+ in the [Small Organization License](#small-organization-license) - it
388
+ is not such a notice and does not count toward that 36-month period.
389
+
390
+ ## If a Term Fails
391
+
392
+ If any of these terms is unenforceable as written, it applies to the
393
+ greatest extent the law allows, and the rest of these terms continue
394
+ unchanged. The licensor's not enforcing a term, against
395
+ you or anyone else, waives nothing: every term stays enforceable
396
+ against everyone, for every later violation.

398
+ ## No Liability
399
+
400
+ ***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without any
401
+ warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable to you for
402
+ any damages arising out of these terms or the use or nature of the
403
+ software, under any kind of legal claim.***
404
+
405
+ ## Definitions
406
+
407
+ The **licensor** is the individual or entity offering these terms,
408
+ including any successor to or assignee of the copyrights in the
409
+ software, and the **software** is the software the licensor makes
410
+ available under these terms, excluding material the licensor clearly
411
+ identifies - or a submitter identifies as [Contributions](#contributions)
412
+ provides - as excluded from these terms and governed instead by its
413
+ own terms: that material stays under its own terms, and
414
+ these terms do not replace them.
415
+
416
+ **You** refers to a natural person agreeing to these terms, acting in
417
+ their individual capacity, or an organization agreeing to these terms as
418
+ the [Small Organization License](#small-organization-license), [Service
419
+ Providers](#service-providers), and [Contributions](#contributions)
420
+ sections provide; **your** has the corresponding meaning. Which licenses
421
+ each "you" receives is set by the license sections themselves.
422
+
423
+ An **organization** is any legal entity or group - corporation, company,
424
+ partnership, nonprofit, charity, educational institution, government
425
+ body, or otherwise - other than a natural person acting alone; a
426
+ natural person's trade or business in which anyone besides that person
427
+ personally performs work is such a group. A **small
428
+ organization** is an organization that, counted together with every
429
+ organization that controls it, is controlled by it, or is under common
430
+ control with it (together, its **group**), has fewer than 100 distinct
431
+ natural persons personally performing work for those organizations
432
+ combined - whether as employees, independent contractors, or personnel
433
+ assigned through staffing or outsourcing arrangements -
434
+ and, under each of the two measures below, less than 10,000,000 USD in
435
+ those organizations' combined total revenue, receipts, contributions,
436
+ grants, appropriations, and other income, excluding amounts any of
437
+ those organizations receives from another of them. The first measure
438
+ counts, for each of those organizations, its income in its own prior
439
+ tax year - annualized, if that tax year was shorter than twelve full
440
+ months - and counts nothing for an organization with no prior tax year.
441
+ The second counts, for each of them, its income in the twelve months
442
+ ending on the last day of the calendar month before the use or, if it
443
+ was formed after those twelve months began, from its formation to the
444
+ day of the use, annualized. Under either measure, any period shorter
445
+ than one full month is treated as one full month. Income in other
446
+ currencies is converted at the average market exchange rate over the
447
+ period measured. Adjust the monetary threshold for inflation from the
448
+ 2026 annual average to the annual average for the most recent calendar
449
+ year ended before the day of the use, using the United States Bureau of
450
+ Labor Statistics' consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U),
451
+ U.S. city average, all items, or its successor index; until that bureau
452
+ publishes the 2026 annual average, the threshold applies unadjusted.
453
+ When these terms measure an individual's own **trades and businesses**,
454
+ they are counted as if they were one organization, with every
455
+ organization the individual controls in its group, and leaving out
456
+ wages, salary, and other compensation the individual earns as an
457
+ employee. That deemed
458
+ organization uses the individual's tax year; it has a prior tax year
459
+ only if at least one of the individual's trades or businesses,
460
+ including any since ended, operated during it,
461
+ and is otherwise treated as formed when the earliest of the current
462
+ ones began; and it keeps one identity for the once-in-36-months
463
+ wind-down rule however trades and businesses start, end, or
464
+ reorganize, sharing wind-down history with every organization in its
465
+ group; wind-downs arising from the same disqualifying event count as
466
+ one reliance, sharing one 90-day period. **Control** means
467
+ ownership of substantially all the assets of an entity, ownership,
468
+ direct or indirect, of a majority economic or beneficial interest in it,
469
+ or the power to direct its management and policies by vote, contract, or
470
+ otherwise; control can be direct, indirect, or joint. Control does not
471
+ arise solely from customary protective, veto, or negative-covenant
472
+ rights held by minority investors or lenders, or from ordinary customer,
473
+ supplier, services, or franchise contracts, unless they confer the
474
+ affirmative power to direct the entity's management and policies
475
+ generally. A natural person controls that person's own trades and
476
+ businesses. For the [Individual License](#individual-license),
477
+ [Self-Chosen Use at Work](#self-chosen-use-at-work), and the
478
+ exceptions built on them - including how an individual's trades and
479
+ businesses are measured - control you hold only jointly counts as
480
+ control only when the distinct natural persons who ultimately share
481
+ that
482
+ control - you included, looking through every organization holding any
483
+ of it - number no more than five; otherwise, for those sections and
484
+ exceptions, you are treated as not controlling the organization whose
485
+ control is being determined. An
486
+ organization
487
+ **provisions** a use when it supplies or
488
+ arranges the software for that use - procuring, installing, deploying,
489
+ or configuring the software, or an account or license for it; providing
490
+ general-purpose equipment, network access, or a development environment
491
+ not specific to the software is not provisioning, nor is carrying out
492
+ an individual's own request to install, enable, or configure software
493
+ that individual chose, through generally available IT support or
494
+ self-service processes, when the organization does not otherwise pay
495
+ for, require, or direct the use, and the use is not within the scope of
496
+ an adoption; applying generally applicable security or compliance
497
+ configuration to software an individual independently chose is, on the
498
+ same conditions, likewise not provisioning. An organization **pays
499
+ for** a use when it pays for the software or for that use specifically -
500
+ a copy, license, subscription, support, or hosting or compute procured
501
+ to run the software, or payment or reimbursement tied to obtaining or
502
+ using it; wages, salary, or other compensation for work generally,
503
+ payment for deliverables as such, and equipment, facilities, or overhead
504
+ provided regardless of which software is used are not paying for a use.
505
+ An organization **requires** or **directs** a use when it makes using
506
+ this software specifically a condition, instruction, or assigned means
507
+ of the work; permitting or tolerating a use someone else chooses is
508
+ neither.
509
+
510
+ An organization **adopts** the software for a team, a department, or
511
+ the organization (the **unit**) when it takes action intended to
512
+ establish the software as a tool for recurring use by that unit - for
513
+ example, by standardizing on it, designating or recommending it as a
514
+ standard, preferred, or expected tool for that unit, assigning or
515
+ instructing people in that unit to use it, deploying it centrally for
516
+ that unit, integrating it into shared or automated infrastructure that
517
+ unit uses, providing or endorsing internal documentation, shared
518
+ accounts, or shared configuration for that unit's use, or coordinating
519
+ separate individuals' use of the software into a recurring practice
520
+ for that unit.
521
+
522
+ An organization takes such an action only when the action is taken by
523
+ someone with authority to set tools for the unit, is taken at the
524
+ organization's direction, or is known to someone with that authority -
525
+ or would be, but for such a person's deliberate avoidance of that
526
+ knowledge - and
527
+ allowed, in fact, to stand as the unit's practice. The scope of an
528
+ adoption is use in the course of work for the unit the action
529
+ addresses. An adoption ends when the
530
+ organization withdraws or discontinues, as applicable, the actions
531
+ that established it and no longer maintains or gives effect to them,
532
+ so that the software is no longer established as a tool for the unit's
533
+ recurring use; a later action can establish a new adoption.
534
+
535
+ None of the following is adoption: knowing of or permitting an
536
+ individual's independently chosen use; recording a security, legal, or
537
+ compliance clearance for individually chosen use - including on a list
538
+ of cleared or permitted software - without presenting the software as
539
+ a unit's standard, preferred, or expected tool; receiving work
540
+ product, output, or other incidental benefit from a use; or
541
+ individuals sharing notes, documentation, or configuration about their
542
+ own independently chosen use with colleagues.
543
+
544
+ **Your licenses** are all the licenses granted to you for the software
545
+ under these terms.
546
+
547
+ The software's **output** is what the software produces when run or used
548
+ as designed. Output never includes the software or any part of it - its
549
+ source, binaries, build artifacts, and components, and anything that
550
+ provides the software's functionality - however produced, even when the
551
+ software emits, copies, exports, or builds them as designed; such
552
+ material is the software, whatever it is called, and the output licenses
553
+ do not reach it. Fragments of the software's expression that the
554
+ software incorporates into what it produces are output. The software's
555
+ **expression** means its copyrightable expression.
556
+
557
+ **Use** means anything you do with the software requiring one of your
558
+ licenses.
