In return, we simply require that you agree:

1. Not to remove any copyright or other notices from the Software.

That you have no right to combine or distribute the Software or modifications with other software or content that is licensed under terms that seek to require that the Software or modifications (or any intellectual property in it) be provided in source code form, licensed to others to allow the creation or distribution of derivative works, or distributed without charge.

3. That if you distribute:

 a. the Software in source code form, you may do so only under this license (i.e., you must include a complete copy of this license with your distribution), and

 b. the Software solely in object code form, or modifications in either source or object code form, you do so only under a license that complies with this license.

4. That you will

5. That if you distribute modifications, you will cause the modified files to carry prominent notices so that recipients know they are not receiving the original Software.  Such notices must (a) state that you have changed the Software, (b) include the date of any changes, and (c) to the extent reasonably practicable, comply with any guidelines about modifications in the documentation accompanying the Software.

6.  That the Software comes "AS IS", with WITH ALL FAULTS.  You bear the risk of using it. We give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions.

These rights survive this agreement.

Reviews for this release

This release does not help team work. I wanted to have an online store for my entire team and allow the team to access the store using the online client. The online client as of now can not connect to the online store. So till the online client is fixed for this, there is no use of this. I put it in the Issue tracker and discussions. But nobody seems to be interested in this.
