Which license do I need?

Summary

Here’s an overview of what each license allows for to make it easy to pick what you need:

License Examples

Examples of Standard License Use:

• A portfolio website for a client
• A dashboard to visualize your company’s internal data
• A marketing site for a paid application (where the Product and it’s components are used only on the marketing pages)

Examples of Multisite License Use:

• All the same examples as the Standard License, but you could build all 3 of them with a single license vs. 3 Standard License copies!

Examples of Extended License Use:

• A SaaS analytics application
• A UI library used in a paid app’s marketing pages, but also pages of the app only available to paying customers
• A blog with “paid subscribers only” areas for their best content

The Full Standard License

The basics:

1. The Standard License grants you a non-exclusive right to make use of Product you have purchased.
2. You are licensed to use the Item to create one End Product for yourself or for one client (a “single application”), and the End Product can be distributed for Free.
3. You can…
   1. Create one End Product for a client, transfer that End Product to your client, charge them for your services. The license is then transferred to the client.
   2. Make unlimited copies of the single End Product as long as the End Product is distributed for free
   3. Modify the Product or combine the Product with other works to make a derivative one. The result is subject to this license. This clause applies to extracting single components from the Product and using it in derivative works as well.
4. You cannot…
   1. Sell the End Product except to one client.
   2. Re-distribute the Product source, modified or not, even if the Product is modified.
   3. Use the Product in any application allowing an End User to customize the Product, like “build it yourself” or “generators”.
   4. Allow the End User of the End Product to access the Product source and use it separately from the End Product.
5. If a Product contains code, images, or content sourced from elsewhere under a different license, that item retains its original license. The license for the code, images, or content will be noted by us. You are responsible for adhering to the original license or clearing it with the author of the code, image, or content.
6. This license can be terminated if you breach it and you lose the right to distribute the End Product until the Product has been fully removed from the End Product.
7. Thulite retains ownership of the Product, but grants you the license on these terms. This license is between Thulite and you.

The Full Multisite License

The basics:

1. The Multisite License grants you a non-exclusive right to make use of Product you have purchased.
2. You are licensed to use the Item to create unlimited End Products for yourself or multiple clients, and the End Products can be distributed for Free.
3. You can…
   1. Create unlimited End Products for a client, transfer that End Product to your client, charge them for your services. The equivalent of a Standard License is granted to the client. They do not assume the unlimited use nature of the Multisite License.
   2. Make unlimited copies of the single End Product as long as the End Product is distributed for free
   3. Modify the Product or combine the Product with other works to make a derivative one. The result is subject to this license. This clause applies to extracting single components from the Product and using it in derivative works as well.

   2. Sell and make any number of copies of the single End Product.
   3. Modify the Product or combine the Product with other works to make a derivative one. The result is subject to this license. This clause applies to extracting single components from the Product and using it in derivative works as well.
