LICENSING

The Metakit software is trademarked and copyrighted:

• The trademark is asserted at the bottom of this and other pages, and means that if others were to call their software "Metakit", they would violate the trademark rights of Equi4 Software. Don't do it, the name is claimed, and has been in active use for several years.
• Copyrights automatically apply to everything written, including the source code of Metakit, its documentation, and the pages on this website. As a reminder, the copyright attribution of all source code written by me contains a notice to that effect. Copyrights apply worldwide, establishing me as the author of the Metakit software. Don't remove copyright notices, ever.

• THE METAKIT LICENSE •

The following X/MIT-style license applies to all files in the Metakit distribution:

• THE ENTERPRISE LICENSE •

The Enterprise License for Metakit is available for € 2,500 per year. It offers production-grade support, for companies who rely on the software and require a solid commercial backing for Metakit:

• Support on technical issues, and with building, porting, and extending MK.
• One day consulting from Equi4 Software, for custom MK-related work.
• Notification of fixes and updates, advance info on planned changes.

• DONATIONS •

If you like the Metakit database (and/or the Tclkit + Starkit technology, which are both based on it) and if you want to support this development without buying the full enterprise license, here's a quick way to do just that:
