Legal and Licensing¶
This page helps administrators locate and preserve the legal materials supplied with PostQ Code Scanner. It is operational guidance, not a license agreement, legal advice, or a replacement for the documents distributed with the product.
Governing product documents¶
Depending on the artifact and release profile, the distribution can include:
| File or area | Purpose |
|---|---|
LICENSE.txt |
PostQ software license supplied with the artifact |
POSTQ_CODE_SCANNER_PRODUCT_TERMS.txt |
Product-specific conditions |
BETA_RELEASE_NOTICE.txt |
Beta limitations and release-specific notice |
COPYRIGHT.txt |
Copyright notice |
TRADEMARK_NOTICE.txt |
Trademark notice |
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt |
Required third-party attribution/notices |
SOURCE_INFORMATION.txt |
Corresponding-source or component source information where applicable |
third-party/ |
Component licenses, notices, hashes, and source information |
The exact files in the artifact you received are authoritative for that artifact. Do not substitute files from another version or rely on a web copy when the packaged document differs.
Administrator responsibilities¶
- Obtain artifacts and entitlements through the approved distribution channel.
- Review all supplied license, product-term, beta, notice, and source-information files before deployment.
- Restrict distribution and use to what the applicable terms authorize.
- Preserve the exact legal bundle with retained release artifacts.
- Protect license files and local usage ledgers from disclosure or modification.
- Route contractual interpretation, redistribution, open-source obligations, and production-use questions through your organization's legal/procurement process.
Container display commands¶
The container entrypoint can display available legal text without starting a scan:
docker run --rm postq-code-scanner-cli:latest --license
docker run --rm postq-code-scanner-cli:latest --notices
These commands are convenience views. Preserve and review the files supplied in the release artifact itself.
License acceptance and activation¶
Legal acceptance and technical activation are different:
- acceptance represents authorization and agreement to the applicable terms;
- activation validates the signed
postq.licentitlement and trial limits.
Neither this website nor a successful technical activation expands the rights in the governing agreement.
