3. Applications Built with Veap#

When you build applications using Veap:

• Your code belongs to you: You are free to choose any license for the code you write on top of Veap, including proprietary or commercial licenses.
• No copyleft obligations: Veap does not enforce viral copyleft terms. You do not have to open-source your proprietary business logic or applications.
• Attribution: You only need to retain the original Veap copyright notice in the distributed copies of the framework files themselves.

4. Third-Party Dependencies#

Veap and its official packages rely on open-source third-party libraries and tools (such as Next.js, React, and Bun). Each third-party dependency is distributed under its own open-source license (primarily MIT, Apache 2.0, or BSD).

Individual package licenses and dependency declarations can be found in their respective package.json files within the Veap repository.

5. Trademark & Brand Policy#

The MIT License applies to the source code of the Veap framework, but does not grant trademark rights.

• The Veap name, logo, and distinctive visual assets are protected branding elements.
• You may use the name to indicate compatibility (e.g., "Plugin for Veap"), but not in a way that suggests official endorsement, affiliation, or that your project is maintained by the Veap Core Team.
