License

Right Height has three types of licenses:

  1. Open Source, for personal and open source projects.
  2. Commercial, for commercial projects and applications.
  3. OEM, for when this Right Height will be bundled with a commercial interface builder, SDK, or toolkit.

Open Source License

If you're looking to use Right Height on an open source or personal project, the code is available under the GPLv3 License. GPLv3 has many terms, but the most important one is that it requires you to license you entire project under the terms of GPLv3 as well:

You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.

You can absolutely use the open source license for commercial projects, but those projects must also be open sourced in their entirety with a GPLv3 license.


Commercial License

The Commercial License let's you use Right Height in commercial projects and applications without the provisions of GPLv3. With this license, your code is kept proprietary.

  • You can modify the source code.
  • You can include it in your own commercial products and applications, such as premium CMS themes, plugins, or templates.
  • Customers and users of your products do not need to purchase their own license, as long as they're not developing their own commercial products with Right Height.

The Commercial License Agreement

This Software License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Go Make Things, LLC (“Go Make Things”) and You (including your agents and affiliates), a commercial licensee of Go Make Things's software. If you have not purchased a Right Height Commercial License from Go Make Things, these terms do not apply to you, and your use of the Go Make Things software is instead governed by the GNU General Public License, version 3.

1. Definitions

  • “Application” means any software, application, or elements that Your Licensed Developers develop using the Software or Modifications in accordance with this Agreement.
  • “End User” means an end user of Your Application who acquires a license to such solely for their own use and not for distribution, resale, user interface design, or software development purposes.
  • “Licensed Developer” shall mean an individual person permitted to use the Software and make Modifications for your Applications, whether such person is Your employee or a consultant or contractor providing services to You.
  • “Modification” means any revision, adaptation, or derivative of the Software produced by You.
  • The “Software” means Right Height version 11.

2. Commercial license grant

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Go Make Things grants to You a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license:

  • for Licensed Developers to use the Software to create Modifications and [n—varies based on the license you purchase] Applications;
  • for You to distribute the Software and/or Modifications to an unlimited number of End Users solely as integrated into the Applications;
  • and for End Users to use the Software as incorporated into Your Applications in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

You are entitled to receive all updates to the major version of the Software licensed by you, as well as any later version of the Software that Go Make Things, in writing, explicitly authorizes you to use. (For illustration purposes only, if you purchased a license for version 2.0, this licenses authorizes you to use version 2.9, but not 3.0.) Go Make Things makes no representation that any update will be compatible with your Application.

3. Ownership

This is a license agreement and not an agreement for sale. Go Make Things reserves ownership of all intellectual property rights inherent in or relating to the Software and corresponding source code, which include all copyright, patent rights, all rights in relation to registered and unregistered trademarks (including service marks), confidential information (including trade secrets and know-how) and all rights other than those expressly granted by this Agreement.

You must not remove, obscure or interfere with any copyright, acknowledgment, attribution, trademark, warning or disclaimer statement affixed to, incorporated in or otherwise applied in connection with the Software. Notwithstanding the above, you are permitted to produce, use, and distribute compressed or “minified” copies of the Software that do not bear the notices contained in the Software’s source code, so long as you otherwise comply with the terms of this license.

4. Prohibited Uses

Your Application must have substantially different functionality than, and must not compete directly with, the Software.

You may not distribute the Software or Modifications except as included within Your Application.

If You produce an Application for a customer, You are responsible for ensuring that your customer does not make use of the Software except with Applications licensed herein.

Your Application must not enable End Users to produce separate applications that incorporate the Software or Modifications. For example, if Your Application is a development toolkit or library, an application builder, a website builder that can be used to incorporate the Software into a new Application, You must obtain a separate OEM license from Go Make Things.

5. Termination

This Agreement and the license granted hereunder shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Section. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the license shall last as long as Your use of the Software is in compliance with the terms herein.

Go Make Things shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder immediately if You breach any of the material terms of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted to You in this Agreement shall terminate automatically and You shall immediately cease use and distribution of the Software.

Upon termination of this Agreement, You must cease all use of the Software. If, prior to your breach of this Agreement, you delivered Applications incorporating the Software to Your End Users, those End Users’ licenses shall survive termination.
