Version 1.0 · October 15, 2026 · Plain-text version

Is this "open source"? Not in the strict sense. The Open Source Initiative's definition requires that anyone may redistribute and sell software, and this license deliberately does not allow that. The accurate name is source-available: the code is open to read, use and modify, with restrictions on publishing and selling.

NEARBY STORAGE SHARE SOURCE-AVAILABLE LICENSE
Version 1.0 - October 15, 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 Sk Jasimudin (Todayintech Solution). All rights reserved, except for the rights
expressly granted below.

NOTE: This is a "source-available" license. It is NOT an open-source license as
defined by the Open Source Initiative, because it does not allow publishing,
selling or reselling. Please read it before you use the Software.

In short: you may use the Software and change it for yourself. You may not
publish it, sell it, or resell it - in original or modified form.


1. DEFINITIONS

"Software" means the Nearby Storage Share application, its source code, build
scripts, documentation, graphics (including the app icon) and every other file
in this distribution, in source or compiled form.

"You" means the individual, or the single legal entity, using the Software
under this License.

"Modification" means any change, adaptation, translation or derivative work of
the Software.

"Publish" means to make the Software or a Modification available to anyone
other than You (or, for an entity, its own employees and contractors acting
for that entity), by any means. This includes uploading it to an app store,
website, file-sharing service, package registry or public or shared source
repository; posting it; emailing it or handing over copies; and hosting it for
download or remote use by others.

"Sell" means to exchange the Software or a Modification, or access to either,
for money or any other consideration. This includes selling, reselling,
renting, leasing, licensing for a fee, charging for access or support that is
bundled with it, including it in a paid product, service or subscription, and
offering it as a paid or advertising-funded service.

"Author" means Sk Jasimudin (Todayintech Solution).


2. WHAT YOU MAY DO

Subject to this License, the Author grants You a non-exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-free, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to:

  (a) download, copy, build, install and run the Software for Your own personal
      use, or for the internal use of Your own organization;
  (b) read, study and test the source code;
  (c) modify the Software for Your own use; and
  (d) keep the private copies You reasonably need for those purposes, such as
      backups and Your own devices.

Running the Software on devices You own or control, and letting other people's
devices connect to it as part of the normal use of the Software, is not
Publishing.


3. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO

You may not, and may not allow anyone else to:

  (a) Publish the Software or any Modification, in whole or in part, whether or
      not for payment;
  (b) Sell the Software or any Modification, or use either to provide a
      commercial product, service or subscription to others;
  (c) offer the Software or a Modification as a hosted or managed service to
      third parties;
  (d) remove or change copyright, license or attribution notices, or the
      "source-available" note at the top of this License;
  (e) use the Author's name, the name "Nearby Storage Share" or the app icon to
      suggest that a Modification or a product is made, endorsed or approved by
      the Author; or
  (f) use the Software to break the law or to infringe the rights of others.


4. MODIFICATIONS

You own the changes You write, but a Modification is still derived from the
Software and therefore stays under this License, including the restrictions in
Section 3.

If You send a Modification, patch or suggestion to the Author, You grant the
Author a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify
and include it in the Software under any license terms the Author chooses.


5. NOTICES

This License, and the copyright notice above, must stay with every copy of the
Software that You keep.


6. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

The Software uses third-party components (for example AndroidX, Kotlin
libraries and Google Play services). They are not covered by this License and
remain under their own licenses, listed in the "Open-source notices" page.
Nothing in this License limits Your rights under those licenses.


7. OWNERSHIP

The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights that are not expressly granted
here are reserved by the Author.


8. TERMINATION

This License ends automatically if You break it. If You stop the breach and
remove every Published or Sold copy within 30 days after the Author's written
notice, Your rights are reinstated - unless You have already breached this
License before. When this License ends, You must stop using the Software and
delete Your copies and Modifications. Sections 7, 9, 10 and 11 continue to
apply after termination.


9. NO WARRANTY

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY AND DATA SAFETY. THE SOFTWARE STORES
FILES ON OTHER PEOPLE'S PHONES AND IS NOT A BACKUP SERVICE: YOU USE IT AT YOUR
OWN RISK.


10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AUTHOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM,
DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFIT OR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES) OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR
ITS USE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. NOTHING IN THIS LICENSE
EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW.


11. GENERAL

This License is governed by the laws of India, and the courts of competent jurisdiction in India can decide disputes about it. If
a part of it cannot be enforced, the rest stays in force. A failure to enforce
a right is not a waiver of it. This is the entire license for the Software; it
replaces earlier statements about the license of the Software. The Author may
publish new versions of this License; the version that came with Your copy
applies to that copy.
