Software, you agree to be bound by the following Terms.

### 2  Scope of Terms

2.1 These Terms apply to the usage of the Software, which is designed to be used
for business purposes.

2.2 These Terms apply to the binary code and to the source code of the Software,
unless the header of a source file explicitly refers to a different license.

2.3 These Terms apply unless you have a separate agreement with Gitpod in
written form that explicitly supersedes these Terms.

### 3 License Fees

3.1 The use of the Software as described in Sec. 2 is free of charge. It is
however limited to the features that are accessible without a license key and
may only take place in accordance with these Terms.

3.2 In case you want to use additional features or distribute the Software or
modifications to it without the restrictions of these Terms, please reach out
for a license key, which is subject to different legal and commercial terms.

### 4 Granting of Rights

4.1 Permission is hereby granted to obtain a copy of the Software and their
accompanying documentation to use, reproduce and execute the Software for
internal purposes in accordance with these Terms and to distribute the

doubt, the software may neither in source nor in binary form be modified in

times. Mandatory rights resulting from applicable copyright law (e.g. related to
decompilation) remain unaffected.
