as a standalone product, software library, or SDK. (Distributing an
application that merely uses the Software as a dependency is permitted.)

This Agreement does not convey any title or ownership interest in the
Software to the Licensee. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4.2. The Software is proprietary, closed-source software. Being provided free of
charge does not place the Software in the public domain and does not make it
open-source; it remains the Licensor's intellectual property.

The Licensee shall not use these trademarks without prior written consent,
except as reasonably necessary to identify the Software in technical
documentation.

Issues and documentation at redbase.app, but does not guarantee any

ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY,
EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
