## Commercial Use
|

|
|
|
Sunshine can be used in commercial applications without any limitations. This means that businesses and organizations
|
|
|
|
|
can use Sunshine to create and sell products or services without needing to seek permission or pay a fee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, it is important to note that the GPL-3.0 license does not grant any rights to distribute or sell the encoders
|
|
|
|
|
contained within Sunshine. If you plan to sell access to Sunshine as part of their distribution, you are responsible
|
|
|
|
|
for obtaining the necessary licenses to do so. This may include obtaining a license from the
|
|
|
|
|
Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG-LA) and/or any other necessary licensing requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In summary, while Sunshine is free to use, it is the user's responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable
|
|
|
|
|
licensing requirements when redistributing the software as part of a commercial offering. If you have any questions or
|
|
|
|
|
concerns about using Sunshine in a commercial setting, we recommend consulting with a lawyer.
