Cheetah Licenses

Cheetah Licenses

Cheetah software is a proprietary product by Dean J. Bassett Jr. I offer it under the terms of two different licenses - Free and Subscription.

Free License

Cheetah can be used free of charge for unlimited period of time under the terms of CC-BY public license. According to this license it is require that Cheetah-based websites display visible attribution links/banners referencing Cheetah. These powered by links must be displayed in the way they are built-in to the Cheetah code, without modification or obfuscation of any kind.

Attribution links are the only limitation of the Free Trial License. There is no limit on version upgrades, period of usage time, members count or installations.

Cheetah may be re-distributed for free, but the links must remain in the same form and their removal is only possible after obtaining a paid license from Cheetah.

Paid License Subscription

You can buy a commercial license from Cheetah. Paid license registration allows removal of visible Cheetah links and banners. With Paid License you can present your site to your visitors as if you have developed it yourself. References in source code must still remain - they are invisible to your site visitors.

Paid license allows using Cheetah indefinitely on one domain/site for unlimited period of time. Version upgrades are free.

Paid license is a proprietary license that you can download and read here.
