Licenses are written to protect the seller and read like it. Here is the plain version of mine.
**Personal.** You can use a template on your own project, paid or unpaid, as long as it’s your project. One template, one end product. Change anything you want. You cannot resell the template itself or hand it to another person as a template.
**Commercial.** Same as personal, but the end product is a client’s. So if you build a site for a client using Paper Trail, that’s commercial, even if you charge them.
**Extended.** For when the template is going to be the actual thing being sold. If you want to sell a SaaS product whose marketing site is my template, that’s extended.
The part people get stuck on is this: *you’re buying the right to use my files, not the files themselves.* You can’t take Paper Trail, rename it, and put it on a marketplace. That’s the one hard line.
If you’re not sure which one you need, email me with one sentence about the project and I’ll tell you. I’ve never charged someone for the wrong tier on purpose.
