## License
QodeAssist is licensed under the **GNU General Public License v3.0**
(see [`LICENSE`](LICENSE)), with **additional attribution terms under
GPLv3 Section 7(b)**.
You are free to use, modify, and redistribute QodeAssist under GPL-3.0,
but you **must preserve** the original author attribution, copyright
notices, and project identification — including in source file headers,
the plugin metadata (`QodeAssist.json.in`), and the About dialog or
equivalent user-facing identification. Modified versions must be clearly
marked as different from the original.
### Commercial licensing
QodeAssist is also available under a separate commercial license for use
in proprietary or closed-source products without GPL-3.0 obligations.
For commercial licensing inquiries, contact **palm1r-github-dev@pm.me**.
### Qt Creator components and attributions
QodeAssist is a plugin for Qt Creator and incorporates certain components
(plugin templates, API headers, and related boilerplate) originating from
Qt Creator, which are copyright (C) The Qt Company Ltd.
These components are provided by The Qt Company under the GNU General
Public License version 3, annotated with **The Qt Company GPL Exception
1.0**. This exception permits the development and distribution of Qt
Creator plugins under licenses of the plugin author's own choosing,
notwithstanding the GPL's general linking requirements. It is this
exception that allows QodeAssist to be offered under both GPL-3.0 and a
separate commercial license.
The original copyright and license notices of The Qt Company are
preserved in the relevant source files and must not be removed.
For Qt Creator's licensing terms, see
[LICENSE.GPL3-EXCEPT](https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/blob/master/LICENSES/LICENSE.GPL3-EXCEPT).
