Welcome to JUCE 7! This JUCE 7 end-user licence agreement (Agreement) is a legal
agreement between you (Licensee or you) and Raw Material Software Limited (RMS,
Licensor, us or we) for the JUCE 7 Framework, which includes both the JUCE Code
and the Projucer and DemoRunner Software, and the associated media. For the
purposes of this Agreement, JUCE Personal, JUCE Pro, JUCE Indie, JUCE Education,
shall be described as “Code”, and Projucer and DemoRunner shall be described as
“Software” and the Code and Software may be described as “Framework”. Users of
JUCE 6 should refer to the JUCE 6 End-User License Agreement. Users of JUCE 5

INSTALLING OR USING THE JUCE FRAMEWORK, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, AND ALL INCORPORATED TERMS INCLUDING THE JUCE PRIVACY POLICY AND
WEBSITE TERMS OF SERVICE, AS APPLICABLE, WHICH WILL BIND YOU. IF YOU DO NOT

of this Agreement, and any reference to “you” shall include the parent or
guardian.
You should print a copy of this Licence for future reference.
Each JUCE licence comes with similar, yet slightly different features, which are
fully explained in the chart found here. A truncated version of the chart is
found directly below. JUCE Personal Free JUCE Indie $40 JUCE Pro $130
Education Free Splash screen Made with JUCE splashscreen Custom animation
or none Custom animation or none Made with JUCE splash screen Revenue
or funding limit $50k $500k No limit No limit Minimum
commitment 1 month 1 month One-off perpetual price
$800 $2,600
Each type of JUCE licence also comes with different Minimum Commitments, Revenue
Limits and Fees, as discussed below.
REVENUE LIMITS AND MINIMUM COMMITMENTS
There are different licences and options for use of the JUCE Code, and each
licence has different Minimum Commitments, Revenue Limits and features. To see
the full set of features and functionality of each licence, please visit
https://juce.com/get-juce. The following describes the Minimum Commitments and
Revenue Limits for each licence. Revenue Limits are based on gross revenue,
meaning all monies collected, including through funding, whether it be received
in connection with your JUCE Applications or not, without offsets of any kind.
JUCE Personal
JUCE Personal comes with one licence seat and aims to provide individuals with
the opportunity to utilize JUCE free of charge. We provide this licensing option
to grow the base of developers who can engage with JUCE and explore its
capabilities. To this end, there is no Minimum Commitment. However, you may only
use your JUCE Personal to release Applications up to a Revenue Limit of $50,000
(USD or currency conversion equivalent). This means that if gross revenue is
generated or raised by you in the amount of $50,000 or more, which is gross
revenue, without offsets of any kind and based on overall monies collected, then
you may only continue to release your Application in connection with your JUCE
Personal licence if (a) you license your Application as an open-source project
under the GNU License, as further described in clause 1.9 below, or (b) you
upgrade to JUCE Indie or JUCE Pro, as applicable. If you want to distribute your
Application, but dont want to release your Application under the GNU License,
then you must upgrade to either JUCE Indie or JUCE Pro.
JUCE Indie
JUCE Indie is for smaller companies and teams generating less than a Revenue
Limit of $500k per year in gross revenue or funding. Companies qualifying for
JUCE Indie can acquire multiple licences for $40/month per developer under the
subscription plan or $800 for a one-off perpetual licence per developer. We
require a 1-month Minimum Commitment for the JUCE Indie subscription plan. You
may release Applications with your JUCE Indie licence up to a Revenue Limit of
$500,000. This means that if your companys total gross revenue earned or raised
exceeds $500,000, then you will be required to either upgrade to JUCE Pro,
license your Application as an open-source project under the GNU License, or
stop using the Framework and distributing your Applications.
JUCE Pro
JUCE Pro is for businesses and teams and is also offered as a per-developer
licence, with a Fee required for each developer on a team or within a business
who uses JUCE Pro. Companies can acquire the JUCE Pro license for $130/month per
developer under the subscription plan or $2,600 for a one-off perpetual licence
per developer. We require a 1-month Minimum Commitment for the JUCE Pro
subscription plan. There is no Revenue Limit for use of JUCE Pro.
JUCE Education
JUCE Education is offered to bona fide educational institutions and comes with a
number of seats as requested by the educational institution. JUCE Education is
free and does not come with any Minimum Commitments or Revenue Limits. You agree
to submit any requested documentation to show proof of a bona fide educational
institute.
What are the Projucer and the DemoRunner?
The Projucer and DemoRunner are not to be confused with the JUCE Code. The
Projucer is rather a Software project management tool to be used with the JUCE
Code that helps you organize your Code. The DemoRunner is a simple app
showcasing the capabilities of the JUCE Code. Both are included in your JUCE
licence. The Projucer and the DemoRunner are referred to as “Software,” and the
JUCE Code together with the Projucer and DemoRunner Software are collectively
referred to as “Framework” throughout this Agreement.
What is the GNU General Public License?
If you exceed your Revenue Limit for JUCE Personal and dont want to upgrade to
a JUCE Indie or JUCE Pro license, then to distribute your Applications you must
release the source code under the open-source GNU General Public License v.3 as
described in this Agreement.
During the term of this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge and agree that if
you are a JUCE Personal, JUCE Indie user and the Revenue Limit thresholds,
above, are exceeded, then you may no longer use that tier of the Framework to
distribute Applications, and to continue distributing Applications you must
either: (a) purchase a different JUCE licence (if eligible); (b) cease
distributing your Applications; (c) license your Applications under the GNU
License. We may monitor your compliance with and enforce these restrictions and
requirements as described in clause 10.4 below.
1. Grant and scope of Licence for the Framework
1.1. We do not sell the Framework to you. The Framework is licensed to you as
described in this Agreement and we remain the owners of the Framework at all
times. Provided you adhere to the terms of this Agreement, including payment of
Fees and Minimum Commitments, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable
(except as provided in clause 11.2 below) licence to download, develop, and
modify the Code to enable the development of the Applications on the terms of
this Agreement, and to download the Software to be used in connection with the
Code.
1.2. The following five JUCE modules are governed by the permissive ISC License:
juce_core, juce_audio_devices, juce_audio_basics, juce_events, juce_blocks.
1.3. Each JUCE licence includes New Features and Minor Updates for that specific
JUCE license and all previous versions of JUCE, but does not include New
Releases.
1.4. Each JUCE licence comes with a specific number of seats for users to
utilise the Framework, and you agree that only one user may utilise the
Framework per seat offered in your specific JUCE licence for the purposes of
coding and development. Note: if you have a JUCE Pro license and are installing
JUCE on multiple computers and such computers are only being used for
compilation and testing, such usage is included in your JUCE Pro license and no
additional seats are required.
1.5. You may not use a JUCE subscription licence to license Applications owned
by a third party. Where the Licensee Content is not owned by the licence holder
the licence holder must have a perpetual licence.
1.6. You may not use JUCE Personal, JUCE Indie, JUCE Pro or JUCE Education
simultaneously. You may not combine or integrate your Licensee Content developed
with one tier of the Code (e.g., JUCE Personal) simultaneously with any of your
Licensee Content that you develop with another tier (e.g., JUCE Indie or JUCE
Pro).
1.7. You may sell or distribute Applications using the Code that incorporates
your Licensee Content to end users, provided that you adhere to the terms in
this Agreement, including paying applicable Fees once you hit your Revenue
Limit. You may not sell, sublicense, or otherwise distribute the Code or
Software on their own.
1.8. Where you have licensed JUCE Education, you may be requested to provide
certain documentation before being approved, and RMS reserves the right in its
sole discretion to decline authorization for JUCE Education.
1.9. Remember, unless you upgrade to JUCE Indie or JUCE Pro, if you exceed the
Revenue Limit for JUCE Personal and you want to continue distributing
Applications, then you must do so under the GNU GPLv3 License. The GNU GPLv3 is
an open-source licence and requires, among other things, that you make your
source code available and license modified files and larger derived works
(including all linked code) under the same terms of the GNU License. Please
review the terms of the GNU GPLv3 License carefully.
1.10. You may not create Applications directed toward Children, unless you fully
comply with the COPPA rules, including without limitation obtaining verifiable
parental consent, as further described in clause 10 below. You are responsible
for any liabilities arising out of a violation of COPPA.
1.11. Each particular type of JUCE license comes with certain features as
described further in this chart, and you agree to only use the JUCE Framework as
is allowed under your particular JUCE licence, including not removing the JUCE
splash screen if you have the JUCE Personal or JUCE Education licence.
