By installing, copying or otherwise using Consodoc Publishing Server (the “Software”) the Licensee agree to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.

1. Free software dual license

You may use Consodoc under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.

The following clauses specify the act of running the Software and the output from the Software, which GPL does not cover.

  • The output from the Software can be copied, distributed or modified only under the terms of the GPL or any other OSI-approved free license.
  • The output from the Software contains invisible marks, which allow identifying the use of the free Consodoc license.

The rest of the text applies only to the commercial Consodoc license.

2. Per-project licensing

For each project, you should purchase a project-bound Consodoc license. The output from the Software contains invisible marks, which allow us to identify the license details.

The term “Project” isn't formally defined. Instead, common sense and the fair use approach are applied. Here are a few examples that indicate you have different projects:

  • different teams,
  • different managers,
  • the accounts department handles the projects as different.

We charge for the new versions of the Software. However, the upgrade fee is only 50% of the difference between the price of the new version and the price of your version.

4. Custom development

You are allowed to modify Consodoc source code for your needs, and allowed to distribute and sell the modifications, if you meet all of these conditions.
