   available under this License, in source or binary form, including
   modifications and derivative works thereof.

   "Node" means a running instance of the Software (a daemon, CLI, or any
   process derived from the Software) that participates in a single
   deployment, cluster, or interconnected agent network operated by or for
   the same Licensee.

   "Non-Commercial Use" means use for personal projects, academic research,
   teaching, evaluation, or by non-profit organizations, where the use is
   not intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary
   compensation.

   "Commercial Use" means any use that is not Non-Commercial Use, including
   use inside a for-profit organization to support its business operations,

2. Grant of Rights

3. Commercial License Requirement

   Commercial Use exceeding 1,000 Nodes in aggregate per Licensee requires

7. Termination

   Your rights under this License terminate automatically if you breach
   its terms and fail to cure the breach within 30 days of becoming aware
