license
what you’re allowed to do.
the plain version. the terms are the legal text; this page is what they mean in practice.
you can
your own machines
install a desktop app on the computers you own and use. there is no license key and no activation, so nothing checks up on you.
work you sell
use the apps for personal and commercial work. write and sell the books, publish the photos, release the audio. what you make with an app is yours and we claim nothing in it.
the bundled fonts
the typefaces that ship inside an app are free/open faces under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 or the Apache License 2.0, both of which permit embedding in what you export. no proprietary faces are bundled; where an app only names a face, your own operating system is supplying it. the licence text for a family comes from its own project page, and hello@cosmicore.net will send it if you would rather not go looking.
keep the version
one payment, and the version you bought stays yours to use. updates to that app cost nothing extra.
please don’t
no reselling
don’t sell, rent, or sublicense the installer or the source code that ships with it, and don’t upload either anywhere public.
no taking it apart
don’t decompile or reverse-engineer the app, or strip the Cosmicore name and notices out of it, except where the law says you may.
it’s your license
the license covers you and the devices you own or control, not a company-wide rollout or a shared lab. a team or site license is a different conversation: hello@cosmicore.net.
phone apps work a little differently
the phone versions are separate products, bought from the App Store or Google Play once they are there. how many devices you can install on, and whether family sharing applies, is decided by that store’s rules rather than by us. buying the desktop app does not include the phone app, and buying the phone app does not include the desktop one.
there are no license keys, no activation servers, and nothing in the app that phones home, so none of this is enforced by software. it works because people are decent about it.
