The license, in plain English.

• Install the binary on your machines. Any of them. As many as you have.
• Use it for anything (personal, professional, commercial) on your own machine.
• Write plugins against the public SDK. Sell them, give them away, keep them private. Your call.
• Uninstall it by deleting a folder. There is nothing to cancel and no account to close.

• Redistribute modified versions of the binary as "Smartopol" or a rebadged clone.
• Reverse-engineer the binary for the purpose of producing a competing product.
• Remove or disable the signature verification on plugin packages.
• Host Smartopol as a SaaS offering to third parties under a different name.

Source access isn't automatic. Email me with who you are and what you want to audit. If you're a security researcher or a compliance team evaluating Smartopol for adoption, the answer is almost always yes: a simple NDA, no lawyers, no money. If you're trying to build a competitor, it's no. Middle cases get a real answer, not a form letter.Email hello@smartopol.ai with the subject Source review under NDA.

If the company behind Smartopol ceases operating, the last released binary is granted aperpetual license with offline activation. This is written into the LLC's operating agreement, not just promised on a website. Your install will keep working.

The software is provided as-is. No warranty. No liability for damages arising from use. Same clause every open-source license has. The fact that Smartopol is closed-source doesn't change how this part works. You're running software on your machine. You accept the risk of that.
