Commercial redistributors of `pipenv` should be aware that the public `Safety-DB`
|
||||
project backing this feature is licensed as CC-BY-NC-SA by `pyup.io`. While
|
||||
`pyup.io` have [stated explicitly](https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/1651#issuecomment-372583779)
|
||||
that commercial *use* of this `pipenv` feature is fine, commercial redistributors may want
|
||||
to perform their own legal assessment and perhaps chat directly to `pyup.io` about
|
||||
the specific licensing terms.
|
||||
In order to enable this functionality while maintaining its permissive
|
||||
copyright license, `pipenv` embeds an API client key for the backend
|
||||
Safety API operated by pyup.io rather than including a full copy of the
|
||||
CC-BY-NC-SA licensed Safety-DB database. This embedded client key is
|
||||
shared across all `pipenv check` users, and hence will be subject to
|
||||
API access throttling based on overall usage rather than individual
|
||||
client usage.
