Beta licence

Existing beta builds stay free to use. Future releases may require a paid licence.

Draught Beta Licence
Version 1.1 — 29 September 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 Seb Smith and the respective Draught contributors.
All rights reserved, except as expressly granted below.

1. Beta software

Draught is beta software. It is unfinished, may contain bugs, may stop
working, and may change or lose data, including data in your repositories.
Keep backups of anything important and review any changes it makes before
relying on them. By installing or using Draught, you accept these terms.

2. What you may do

You may install and use official Draught beta builds, free of charge, for
personal or commercial purposes. Permission for a beta build you already
have does not expire, but it does not include future versions, updates or
support, which may be offered on different terms or for payment.

3. What you may not do

Draught is proprietary software. You may not redistribute, sell, modify,
reverse engineer or decompile it, except where the law allows this despite
this restriction, or where you have written permission. Sharing links to
official downloads is fine. This licence gives no rights to the source code
or to the Draught name or logo.

4. No warranty

DRAUGHT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

5. No liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER SEB SMITH NOR ANY OTHER
DRAUGHT CONTRIBUTOR IS LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND
ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH DRAUGHT OR THIS LICENCE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, CODE,
PROFITS OR BUSINESS. IF ANY LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IT IS LIMITED TO
£10 IN TOTAL.

Nothing in this licence limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such
as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud, or affects
your statutory rights as a consumer.

6. Third parties and AI features

Third-party components in Draught are covered by their own licences, which
take precedence for those components. Optional AI features send the content
you ask about, such as diffs, to the provider you choose, under that
provider's terms and charges. AI output may be wrong.

This licence does not withdraw permissions previously granted for copies of
Draught distributed under another licence, including the MIT Licence.

7. Ending this licence

You may stop using Draught at any time. If you break this licence, your
permission to use Draught ends automatically.

8. Law

This licence is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of
England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about it. If
any part of it is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
