License reference
Titan is distributed under license.
If you don't intend to charge for the software, charge for services
using
Titan or include Titan in a product or service offerings, then you
don't
need a commercial license. In fact most users don't.
In short:
* You can't sell Titan or the services it provides. You need
a commercial
license for that.
* You can't redistribute the code in whole or in part without
permission.
* You need a commercial license if you manage Titan for your
customers.
Initial installation and setup is OK.
* You're required to buy a commercial license if you intend to
use it to
do monitoring for your customers.
So if you'd like to charge users for Titan useage, or include Titan
in whole
or in part as part of a product or service, or on a CD, it's as simple
as
dropping a note to titan@fish.com. We'll get back to you right away.
However, if your company is happy with Titan then consider obtaining
a
commercial license or a support contract, or make a donation to one
of
the charities we recommend!
-------------
Why better than free
Because we believe fair is better than "free".
If you want to commercially profit from Titan, you can. You're free
to negotiate
and purchase anything you want and distribute the results under the
license of
your choice. We're willing to help.
However, once money gets involved, we can make sure it does more than
just buy
software. When we sell any commercial license, 10% of that license
fee will be
donated to the charity of your choice, on your behalf. As a demographic,
those
involved in software are probably least in need of charity, and best
positioned
to be of assistance.
So if money is involved, we'll sell our software at a fair price and
do it in
such a way that those who really need help get help. That's fair. That's
better
than free.
