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 hardware.
• 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 a perpetual 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.
