Licensing
This is not open source software
HiAPI is proprietary commercial software. Artifacts are distributed through Maven Central purely so that licensed customers — particularly those who cannot reach a private repository in mainland China — can resolve them. Availability in a public repository does not grant any license to the public.
Without a signed written agreement, no rights are granted, and any use, reproduction or distribution is prohibited.
Copyright © HiAPI. All rights reserved.
Grant of license
Use of this software requires a valid written commercial license agreement with HiAPI. Subject to such an agreement, HiAPI grants the licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the software.
The exact scope is defined in that agreement, and typically covers:
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Licensed version | The framework versions you may use |
| Maximum instances | Concurrent JVM processes permitted |
| Maximum tenants | Number of tenants that may be served |
| Term | Start and end dates, or perpetual |
| Deployment scope | Licensee's own or hosted servers, for internal business use |
Operating outside the agreed parameters is a breach of the agreement.
Restrictions
- No resale or sublicensing — you may not resell, rent, lend or sublicense the software or any derivative work to a third party
- No publication of source — you may not publish the source code, decompilation output or reverse engineering results in any form
- No reverse engineering — except to the extent such a restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law
- No circumvention — you may not bypass, disable or tamper with license verification, including online activation, heartbeat validation and module encryption
- No over-deployment — you may not exceed the licensed instance or tenant counts
- No watermark removal — you may not remove, alter or obscure copyright notices, license notices or embedded customer watermarks
About the source attachments
The -sources and -javadoc attachments published to Maven Central are intentionally empty placeholders, provided solely to satisfy public repository publication requirements. They contain no source code.
Source code is not distributed with the artifacts and is made available only under a separate written agreement.
