# IntelliConnect MQTT Device SDK — License

This software is licensed to you under **two layers**, described below:

1. An **additional permission** granted by the copyright holder, which extends
   noncommercial-only rights to also cover commercial use for paying
   subscribers of IntelliConnect — see immediately below.
2. The **PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0**, reproduced unmodified beneath
   it, which is the base license everyone else uses this software under.

If you don't qualify for the additional permission, only the PolyForm
Noncommercial terms apply: noncommercial use only.

## Additional Permission — Commercial Use for IntelliConnect Team/Enterprise Subscribers

Notwithstanding the "Noncommercial Purposes" restriction in the PolyForm
Noncommercial License 1.0.0 below, [YOUR COMPANY / PLATFORM_NAME] ("the
Licensor") grants you the right to use this software, including the
`intelliconnect-mqtt-device` package and its source code, for commercial purposes,
**for as long as, and only for as long as**, you hold an active, paid **Team**
or **Enterprise** subscription to the IntelliConnect platform.

This additional permission:

- Applies only while your qualifying subscription remains active. If your
  subscription lapses, is downgraded below Team tier, or is cancelled, this
  additional permission ends immediately for you; your use of this software
  reverts to the Noncommercial-only terms below from that point forward.
- Does not transfer to any other person or organization. It applies only to
  you, or to your company while you are an active subscriber on its behalf.
- Does not require you to redistribute this software's source code, but any
  redistribution you do make remains subject to these same two layers of
  terms for whoever receives it from you.
- Is granted in addition to, and does not reduce or replace, your rights
  under the Noncommercial License below, which continue to apply regardless
  of your subscription status.

To obtain a qualifying subscription, see https://intelliconnect.cognitech.systems/pre-register. If you are
uncertain whether your use qualifies, contact intelliconnect@cognitech.systems before relying
on this permission.
