    Copyright © 2026 Adiwave

    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
    license document, but changing it is not allowed.

    TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    0.   Definitions.

    "This License" refers to Server Side Public License.

    "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
    of works, such as semiconductor masks.

    "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
    "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.

    To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
    work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
    making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified
    version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

    A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
    on the Program.

    To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
    permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on
    a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
    copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
    available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
    well.

    To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
    through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
    conveying.

    An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
    to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
    feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
    tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
    extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
    work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
    the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
    menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

    1.    Source Code.

    The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
    for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
    form of a work.

    A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
    standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
    is widely used among developers working in that language.

    The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
    than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
    packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
    Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
    Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
    implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
    "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential
    component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific
    operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a
    compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter
    used to run it.

    The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
    the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
    work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts
    to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
    System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available
    free programs which are used unmodified in performing those
    activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
    Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated
    with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
    libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is
    specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
    communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
    parts of the work.

    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
    regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
    Source.

    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
    work.

    2.    Basic Permissions.

    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
    copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
    conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
    permission to run the unmodified Program, subject to section 13. The
    output from running a covered work is covered by this License only
    if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This
    License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as
    provided by copyright law.

    Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate covered works
    that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license
    otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others
    for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
    for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
    provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying
    all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus
    making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively
    on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that
    prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material
    outside their relationship with you.

    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
    the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
    makes it unnecessary.

    3.    Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
    measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
    article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996,
    or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
    measures.

    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
    circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
    circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
    with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to
    limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing,
    against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to
    forbid circumvention of technological measures.

    4.    Conveying Verbatim Copies.

    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
    receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
    appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
    keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
    non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
    code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
    give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

    You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
    and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

    5.    Conveying Modified Source Versions.

    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
    produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
    terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
    conditions:

    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
    it, and giving a relevant date.

    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
    under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
    requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact
    all notices".

    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License
    to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will
    therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional
    terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of
    how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license
    the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such
    permission if you have separately received it.

    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
    need not make them do so.

    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
    works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
    and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
    in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
    "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
    used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
    beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered
    work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the
    other parts of the aggregate.

    6.     Conveying Non-Source Forms.

    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
    sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
    Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of
    these ways:

    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
    used for software interchange.

    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
    offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
    offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to
    give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
    Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
    covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily
    used for software interchange, for a price no more than your
    reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source,
    or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server
    at no charge.

    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative
    is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
    received the object code with such an offer, in accord with
    subsection 6b.

    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
    (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
    further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
    Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that
    supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear
    directions next to the object code saying where to find the
    Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
    charge under subsection 6d.

    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
    excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not
    be included in conveying the object code work.

    A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
    tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
    family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
    incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
    consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
    coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
    "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
    product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
    way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
    expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product
    regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
    industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only
    significant mode of use of the product.

    "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
    procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
    install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
    Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
    information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
    the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
    solely because modification has been made.

    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
    specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
    part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of
    the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or
    for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
    characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section
    must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this
    requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
    retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
    Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include
    a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
    updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
    recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
    installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
    itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
    or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
    network.

    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
    provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
    publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
    public in source code form), and must require no special password or
    key for unpacking, reading or copying.

    7.    Additional Terms.

    "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
    License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
    Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program
    shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to
    the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional
    permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used
    separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
    governed by this License without regard to the additional
    permissions.

    When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
    remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
    of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
    removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
    additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
    for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material
    you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
    holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
    terms:

    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
    Notices displayed by works containing it; or

    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or

    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
    authors of the material; or

    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or

    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
    those licensors and authors.

    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
    restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as
    you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
    it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
    restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document
    contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
    under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
    by the terms of that license document, provided that the further
    restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
    must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
    additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
    where to find the applicable terms.

    Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
    form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
    above requirements apply either way.

    8.    Termination.

    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
    provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
    modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
    under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the
    third paragraph of section 11).

    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
    license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
    provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
    finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
    copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
    reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
    reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
    violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
    received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
    that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
    after your receipt of the notice.

    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
    licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
    under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
    permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses
    for the same material under section 10.

    9.    Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
    run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
    occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
    to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
    nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate
    or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you
    do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
    covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

    10.     Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
    receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
    propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
    responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
    License.

    An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
    organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
    organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
    work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
    transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
    licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
    could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession
    of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
    interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
    efforts.

    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
    rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
    not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
    rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate
    litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
    alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
    selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion
    of it.

    11.    Patents.

    A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
    License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
    work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor
    version".

    A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
    owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
    hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
    permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
    contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
    infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
    contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control"
    includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
    consistent with the requirements of this License.

    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
    royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
    patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
    otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its
    contributor version.

    In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
    agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a
    patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or
    covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a
    patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
    commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
    and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
    to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through
    a publicly available network server or other readily accessible
    means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be
    so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of
    the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a
    manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend
    the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying"
    means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license,
    your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's
    use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more
    identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe
    are valid.

    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
    arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
    covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
    receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
    modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the
    patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients
    of the covered work and works based on it.

    A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
    the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
    conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
    are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a
    covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party
    that is in the business of distributing software, under which you
    make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity
    of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to
    any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a
    discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the
    covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or
    (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or
    compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into
    that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28
    March 2007.

    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
    any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
    otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

    12.    No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
    or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
    do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
    use, propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy
    simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
    pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not use,
    propagate or convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms
    that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from
    those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy
    both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from
    conveying the Program.

    13.    Offering the Program as a Service.

    If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version
    available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service
    Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge,
    under the terms of this License. Making the functionality of the
    Program or modified version available to third parties as a service
    includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact
    with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely
    through a computer network, offering a service the value of which
    entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or
    modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users
    the primary purpose of the Program or modified version.

    "Service Source Code" means the Corresponding Source for the Program
    or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all
    programs that you use to make the Program or modified version
    available as a service, including, without limitation, management
    software, user interfaces, application program interfaces,
    automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage
    software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an
    instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make
    available.

    14.    Revised Versions of this License.

    MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server
    Side Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
    similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail
    to address new problems or concerns.

    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
    Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the Server Side
    Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
    option of following the terms and conditions either of that
    numbered version or of any later version published by MongoDB, Inc.
    If the Program does not specify a version number of the Server Side
    Public License, you may choose any version ever published by
    MongoDB, Inc.

    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
    versions of the Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's
    public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes
    you to choose that version for the Program.

    Later license versions may give you additional or different
    permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
    author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
    later version.

    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
    APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
    COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
    WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
    INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
    MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
    RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
    SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

    16.  Limitation of Liability.

    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
    WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
    AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
    DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
    CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
    THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
    BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
    PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
    PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF

    17.  Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
    above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
    reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
    approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
    connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
    liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
