Why do you find it surprising people are confused when:
On the one hand you state "All other ServiceStack Software inc. all client libraries, inc. Serialization and ServiceStack.Common (containing #Script) are unrestricted libraries which can be used for free without a commercial Developers license in both commercial/non-commercial projects"
On the other hand your terms state "Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Licensee is granted a right to use the Software for small projects and evaluation purposes without charge provided that use of the Software is within the "Free Usage Quota" published on Licensor's website at servicestack.net."
"small projects and evaluation" is not free to use without restriction.
- mythz 7y agoYou're referring to different things where you've quoted me out of context [1], and have omitted where I've specifically said that only the commercial products have free usage quotas [2]. All the packages I've listed do not have any free-quota restrictions so they don't require a paid Developers license to enable unrestricted usage, since they already don't have any restrictions.

- Dayshine 7y agoOK, but that's not what the license linked to from the package page says. It doesn't say "Some products are unlimited use, and others are restricted as stated here". It says all products are restricted as stated there. It does not discriminate between commercial and non commercial products. > All the packages I've listed do not have any free-quota restrictions so they don't require a paid Developers license to enable unrestricted usage, since they already don't have any restrictions. How does that line up with your license that states "small projects and evaluation" only? I'm not doubting that your intentions are for the licensing to be as you state, but that's not what your license says :)
- mythz 7y ago> It says all products are restricted as stated there. It does not say this, it says: > Licensee is granted a right to use the Software for small projects and evaluation purposes without charge provided that use of the Software is within the "Free Usage Quota" The free usage quotas only exist on the commercial products which I've already linked to https://servicestack.net/download#free-quotas https://servicestack.net/download#free-quotas On the free products pages, like ServiceStack.Text product page [1] and GitHub project page [2] and #Script home page [3] all specifically mention they're free to use. Whilst all of ServiceStack's non .NET libraries like the JS/Typescript clients [5], Swift [6], Java/Kotlin [7], Dart/Flutter [8], CefGlue Support, etc are all published with liberal BSD/MIT OSS licenses.
