BotDetect CAPTCHA Licensing Information

• Using BotDetect on an unlimited number of websites (sub-domains) on an unlimited number of domains assuming that you own both all the domains and all of the websites (sub-domains) on which BotDetect is being used.

  For example, using BotDetect on forms on: www.yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com, fr.yourdomain.com, www.yourbrand1.com, and blogs.yourbrand2.com requires a single Enterprise License.

Enterprise License does NOT cover:

• The right to use BotDetect on websites (sub-domains) that are given / sold / rented to third parties, or used by third parties.

  Example 1) Purchasing the Enterprise License will not allow Atlassian to embed BotDetect in its 'Jira-as-a-service' on either user5.atlassian.com or jira.user5.com sites.

  To cover for such an use either Atlassian needs a license that includes the Shared-Hosting rights; what both the Developer and OEM licenses do -- or the 'User5' needs the Enterprise License.

  Example 2) Purchasing the Enterprise License will not allow Atlassian to embed BotDetect in its 'Jira-as-a-software'; and then license the 'Jira-as-a-software' to the 'User5'.

  To cover for such an use either Atlassian needs a license that includes the Distribution rights; what both the Developer and OEM licenses do -- or the 'User5' needs the Enterprise License.

• Shared Hosting License (Enterprise Version)

  You do not pay any fees for hosting on your shared-servers your customers' websites containing unmodified Enterprise Version of BotDetect on either your customers' (sub)domains or your customers' subdomains on your own domain

• Royalty-free distribution within your applications (Enterprise Version)

  You do not pay any fees when distributing an application containing unmodified Enterprise Version of BotDetect to multiple clients.

Developer License does NOT include:

• The right to redistribute or share BotDetect source code (unmodified or customized by you).

• The right to include BotDetect into website / form building tools, web application firewalls, and other products and services that directly or indirectly compete with the BotDetect.

  For example, Automattic couldn't use a Developer License to add BotDetect Captcha into WordPress Login, Register or Comment forms, and put it for download on WordPress.org

  Equally, Microsoft couldn't use a Developer License to make SharePoint Login, or to develop a Login SharePoint Feature / WebPart including BotDetect Captcha protection and redistribute it to their customers, which will then deploy freely the paid version of the BotDetect as a part of their SharePoint projects.

  To make this use case possible, both Microsoft and Automattic can either buy a custom license or each of their customers should purchase an adequate license for themselves.

  Example 2) If Zendesk purchase the Enterprise License it will not give Zendesk the right to use it on zendesk.foursquare.com, nor it will allow Zendesk to let Foursquare to use it on zendesk.foursquare.com.

  To cover for such a usage Typepad and Zendesk will need a license that includes the Shared-Hosting License what both the Developer License and the OEM License do -- or Seth Godin will need the Website License to use BotDetect on sethgodin.typepad.com, and Foursquare will need the Website License if they do not use BotDetect someplace else within foursquare.com, or the Domain/Enterprise License if they do use BotDetect someplace else within foursquare.com domain.
