## Acceptance
In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree

your licenses.
## Copyright License
The licensor grants you a copyright license for the
software to do everything you might do with the software

in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may
only distribute the software according to [Distribution

based on the software according to [Changes and New Works
License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
## Changes and New Works License
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to
make changes and new works based on the software for any
permitted purpose. However, it is not a permitted purpose to
remove or disable any portion of the software that effectuates
the following payment to licensor: You acknowledge that the
software will cause a fee of 20% of the amount of all transactions
to be paid to the licensor, or a party designated by it, in
Siacoin on the Sia Platform.
## Distribution License
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license
to distribute copies of the software. Your license

changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works
License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
## Notices
You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of
the software from you also gets a copy of these terms or the
URL for them above.
## Patent License
The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that
covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able
to license, that you would infringe by using the software.
## Fair Use
You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the
law. These terms do not limit them.
## No Other Rights
These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of
your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from
granting licenses to anyone else. These terms do not imply
any other licenses.
## Patent Defense
If you make any written claim that the software or any part of the
Sia platform infringes or contributes to infringement of any patent,
your patent license for the software granted under these terms
ends immediately. If your company makes such a claim, your
patent license ends immediately for work on behalf of your company.
## Violations
The first time you are notified in writing that you have
violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software
not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless
continue if you come into full compliance with these terms,
and take practical steps to correct past violations, within
30 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses
end immediately.
## No Liability
**_As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without
any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable
to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use
or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim._**
