Asked in Contracts, Copyright and Intellectual Property

Q: Is this license applicable to my software? https://cdn.shinobi.video/agreements/LICENSE.txt

I wrote this application https://github.com/ShinobiCCTV/Shinobi

I am the only copyright holder. I plan to charge for commercial use of my application but allow non-commercial use free of charge.

A: Dear Madam or Sir:

If you would please clarify what question you are asking, that would be appreciated. If you are inquiring if your use license can charge a fee for commercial use of the proprietary software, while allowing such use free for non-commercial purposes, I see no reason why not. However, I would enlist the services of an attorney experienced in drafting copyright licenses. In my opinion, that would be money well-spent.
