These GitHub CodeQL Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you (either as an individual or on behalf of an entity) and GitHub, Inc. regarding your use of the GitHub CodeQL software and associated documentation (collectively, the "Software"). By using the Software, you accept these Terms. Please read all of these Terms; in many cases, provisions set forth later in the Terms limit and qualify provisions set forth earlier in the Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, do not download, install, use, or copy the Software.
In these Terms:
-
"OSI-approved License" means an Open Source Initiative (OSI)-approved open source software license.
-
"Open Source Codebase" means a codebase that is released under an OSI-approved License.
The Software is licensed on a per user basis. Here's what you may do with the Software, but subject to License Restrictions provisions below:
-
Use the Software to perform academic research.
-
Use the Software to demonstrate the Software.
-
Test CodeQL queries that are released under an OSI-approved Licence to confirm that new versions of those queries continue to find the right vulnerabilities.
Here's what you may also do with the Software, but only with an Open Source Codebase and subject to the License Restrictions provisions below:
-
Perform analysis on the Open Source Codebase.
-
If the Open Source Codebase is hosted and maintained on GitHub.com, generate CodeQL databases for or during automated analysis, CI, or CD.
These Terms do not authorize, and the Software may not be used for any purpose not expressly set forth above, including:
-
To otherwise or in any other context generate any CodeQL database for or during automated analysis, CI or CD, whether as part of normal engineering processes or another context.
-
To otherwise or in any other context use the Software in connection with any codebase that is not an Open Source Codebase (e.g., code in a private repo in GitHub).
Please note: if your use of the Software is under a paid customer license for GitHub Advanced Security, the restrictions with respect to automated analysis, CI, and CD and use in connection with non-Open Source Codebases do not apply.
At all times, except (and only to the extent) permitted by applicable law or applicable third-party license, you will not (and have no right to):
-
work around any technical limitations in the Software that only allow you to use it in certain ways;
-
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software;
-
remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of GitHub or its suppliers in the Software;
-
use the Software in any way that is against the law; or

The Software is licensed, not sold. GitHub reserves all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.
The Software may include components licensed under open source software licenses. Any such licenses are included in the "Open Source Notices" documentation that is included with the Software. Such documentation also includes copies of all applicable open source licenses.
To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to open source components require GitHub to make an offer to provide source code in connection with the Software, such offer is hereby made, and you may exercise it by contacting GitHub: https://github.com/contact.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing with GitHub, your agreement with GitHub will always include, at a minimum, these Terms. Open source software licenses for the Software's source code constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent that any open source software license expressly supersedes these Terms, such open source license governs your use of the applicable component(s) of the Software subject to such license.
These Terms do not grant any right or license to use any of GitHub's trademarks or logos, including, without limitation, the names GitHub and CodeQL and any Software logo designs in the "logos" folder of the Software. You agree not to display or use any of these trademarks or logos in any manner without GitHub's prior written permission, except as allowed by GitHub's Logos and Usage Policy located at https://github.com/logos. GitHub reserves all right, title and interest in and to all GitHub trademarks and logos.
Auto-Updates: The Software may include an auto-update service. If the Software automatically enables such service (or, if it is not automatically enabled and you choose to use it), GitHub will automatically update the Software when a new version is available.
Because the Software is "as-is," GitHub may not provide support for it.
Customer will comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations that apply to the Software.

No Waiver. The failure of GitHub to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
