ModPackQT Free-to-Use Proprietary Software License
Copyright (c) 2026 ModPackQT. All rights reserved.

1. Scope and earlier licenses
These terms apply to the ModPackQT-owned first-party software supplied with
this release ("Software"), beginning with node-red-contrib-modbus-modpackqt
4.0.0. They do not revoke or narrow rights previously granted under MIT or
another license. Earlier copies remain governed by their applicable terms.
The historical MIT notice is preserved in LICENSE-MIT-HISTORICAL. Where
third-party or contributor code carries separate rights, those rights and
required notices remain applicable.

2. Free use
Subject to these terms, ModPackQT grants you a non-exclusive, royalty-free,
non-transferable license to install and run unmodified copies of the Software
for personal or business use. You may make copies reasonably necessary for
installation, internal deployment and backup. No payment is required for
this grant. Separate hosted services are not granted by this license.

3. Configuration and user-created material
Normal documented configuration is permitted. Creating, editing, exporting
and sharing your own Node-RED flows, register maps, settings, input/output
data and independent scripts that use documented interfaces is permitted;
this is not modification of the Software. Such material must not include
unauthorized copies of the Software. This license does not claim ownership
of your own material.

4. Restrictions
Except with ModPackQT's prior written permission, as expressly permitted
above, or where applicable law or another applicable license permits:
(a) do not modify, translate, adapt or create derivative versions of the
Software;
(b) do not distribute, republish, sublicense, sell or rent copies of the
Software or its source code to others;
(c) do not remove copyright, license or other proprietary notices; and
(d) do not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software.
Publisher-authorized distribution through npm or other authorized channels
is permitted. Possessing readable source does not itself grant modification
or redistribution rights. These terms are legal conditions, not technical
copy protection.

5. Third-party software
Third-party dependencies and components remain subject to their own
licenses. These terms do not override permissions granted for those
components or any non-waivable legal rights.

6. Ownership and termination
ModPackQT and the respective rights holders retain ownership of the
Software. Rights not expressly granted are reserved. Subject to applicable
law, this grant terminates on breach of these terms; termination does not
revoke independent rights under an earlier or third-party license.

7. Disclaimer and liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED
"AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. MODPACKQT AND THE RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS HOLDERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING
FROM THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE, INCLUDING LOST DATA, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR
PRODUCTION INTERRUPTION. NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS REMAIN UNAFFECTED.
You are responsible for validating the Software before use with equipment.

8. Questions and permission

Do not use this release if you do not accept these terms, without prejudice
to your independent rights under another applicable license.
