A central repository containing the licensing terms for the Paywaz public projects. This repo holds the official license(s) under which Paywaz’s API, SDKs, documentation, samples, and other related repositories are distributed.
The full license text lives in LICENSE.md.
- The definitive license file (e.g.
LICENSEorLICENSE.md) with full legal terms for using, distributing, and contributing to Paywaz code and documentation. - (Optional) Any supplementary license or license-term templates, if applicable (e.g. for special modules, third-party dependencies, addendums).
- (Optional) Guidance notes or metadata about how license applies across Paywaz repositories.
This single place ensures license consistency across all Paywaz-branded public repos: SDK, API, samples, docs, etc.
- By centralizing the license, all Paywaz projects refer to one authoritative source — reducing the chance of license divergence or confusion.
- Consumers, contributors, and integrators have a clear, unambiguous statement of rights and restrictions upfront.
- Helps with compliance, audits, and clarity: everyone knows under what terms the code/documentation is licensed.
As per GitHub best practices: having a clearly defined license improves the transparency and trustworthiness of your public repositories.
- When using or adapting Paywaz code — include a copy of the license as distributed in this repo.
- When redistributing — maintain the full license text and copyright notice.
- If you plan to contribute (bug fixes, SDK enhancements, documentation) — interpret contributions as governed by this license (unless otherwise noted).
Note: The license in this repo is the official license. If you copy parts of Paywaz code, you must retain license notice per the license’s terms.
| Repo | What paywaz-license ensures |
|---|---|
SDK repos (e.g. paywaz-sdk-js) |
Clarity on reuse, redistribution, and contribution terms. |
| API / Public API repos | Legal transparency for users consuming or extending the API. |
| Sample projects / Integrations | Safe reuse of sample code under the same license terms. |
| Documentation repos | License compliance for documentation consumers / contributors. |
- If you clone or fork any Paywaz repo — also reference the
paywaz-licensefile to understand license terms. - If redistributing or modifying — ensure you comply with the license requirements (retaining copyright, disclaimers, attribution).
- If contributing: assume contributions will be licensed under the same license (unless explicitly agreed otherwise).
This repository now ships a minimal health check harness to keep the legal assets intact:
- Install tooling once:
npm install
- Run the golden commands:
npm run lint # basic Markdown hygiene (no tabs/unintended trailing whitespace) npm test # verifies key legal files are present npm run build # runs the full validation chain
If you have any questions about the license — whether usage permissions, redistribution, contributions, or any legal interpretation — please contact the Paywaz core team (or legal contact) before using or distributing.
(You may optionally link to a contact email, issue-tracker, or support channel if you wish to be more concrete.)
This repository provides the license texts and terms under which Paywaz code and docs are distributed. It does not provide legal advice. If you are unsure about how the license applies — consult a legal professional.
Thank you for using Paywaz.
We appreciate your interest, contributions, and respect for the license terms.
