Licensing Agreements

Our software is not violating any licensing agreements.

Apache License 2.0

The APACHE License 2.0 is a permissive license which requires preservation of copywrite and license notices. It allows for commercial, patent, and private use and distribution and modification of code, but is limited to liability, trademark use, and warranty. The following third-party software uses the Apache License 2.0:

MIT License

The MIT License is a license which only requires preservation of copywrite and license notices. It allows for commercial and private use in addition to distribution and modification of code. The MIT License provides no warranty and removes any liability from the authors on the operation/use of the software. The following third-party software uses the MIT License:

  1. PKG package manager
  2. express package
  3. socket.io API
  4. nodegui API
  5. node-notifier API

Intellectual Property

We do not have a client, nor do we use any data sets, so there are no intellectual property constraints placed on our project.

Law

Users cannot really use our app to break the law. If a user is already in the act of breaking laws and receive a notification while using our app regarding that law breaking, then that notification would pass through our app, however, our app is no more at fault than the messaging app used to send the message. The same goes for file sharing or clipboard sharing. If someone has illegal pictures in their email, the email company is not going to get in trouble for it, the user is. This goes the same with our app. We are not liable if our user uses our app to send illegal data; it is not the purpose of our app.
