"NimbusKV" and the NimbusKV logo are trademarks of Hemanshu Vaidya.

The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and you are free to use, change, and share it under that license. The name is different: it tells people where software comes from, so it is protected separately. This page explains what you can do with it.

You can, without asking#

  • Say that your product uses, is built on, or is compatible with NimbusKV.
  • Refer to NimbusKV by name in articles, talks, tutorials, courses, benchmarks, and reviews.
  • Distribute unmodified copies of NimbusKV under its name.
  • Use the name in package metadata to declare a dependency on it.

Please ask first#

  • Naming a product, company, domain, or package with "NimbusKV" in it (for example, "NimbusKV Cloud" or nimbuskv-pro).
  • Using the NimbusKV logo in your own product or marketing.
  • Selling merchandise with the name or logo.

You may not#

  • Distribute a modified version of NimbusKV under the name "NimbusKV". If you publish a fork, give it a different name, and you may say it is "based on NimbusKV".
  • Suggest that your product is official, certified, or endorsed by the NimbusKV project when it is not.
  • Use a name or logo confusingly similar to NimbusKV for a similar product.
