OwnMark License Agreement
Copyright © 2026 OwnMark (Bob Bliss). All rights reserved.
This is a proprietary software license, not an open-source license. Please read it before using OwnMark.
1. Definitions
“Software” means the OwnMark application, including its executables, source files, bundled assets, and documentation.
“Personal, non-commercial use” means use by an individual for their own private purposes, unrelated to any business, employment, freelance, or revenue-generating activity.
“Commercial use” means any use in connection with a business, employment, freelance work, an organization, or any activity intended for or resulting in commercial advantage or monetary compensation.
2. Personal Use — Free
You may download, install, and use the Software for personal, non-commercial use free of charge, with no time limit and no feature restriction.
3. Commercial Use — License Required
Commercial use requires a commercial license, available as a one-time purchase (introductory price USD $29). A commercial license covers a single user for use across any number of that user’s commercial projects. It is a one-time purchase: no subscription, no renewal.
Licenses are currently issued on an honor system — no license key or activation is enforced by the Software. Paying for a commercial license when your use is commercial is what keeps the project sustainable and honest.

4. Permitted and Prohibited Actions
Under either the free personal grant or a commercial license, you MAY:
- Install and run the Software on machines you control.
- Create, edit, and keep the notes and files you author with it; those files are yours and are not covered by this license.
- Customize the Software through its supported extension points (for example, drop-in theme files such as
_theme-*.css). Such customization files are yours; they are not modifications to the Software itself.
You MAY NOT:
- Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or rent the Software as your own product.
- Remove or alter copyright, authorship, or license notices.
- Represent the Software as your own work.
- Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from the Software’s own code or files. The Software is distributed in human-readable form for transparency and trust; that openness is not a grant of permission to alter it. (This does not restrict the supported customization described above.)
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits this notwithstanding this restriction.
- Repackage, rebrand, host, deploy, or otherwise distribute the Software — whether modified or unmodified — to any third party or as a hosted service.
5. No Warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
6. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR OR COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. You are responsible for backing up your notes and files.
7. Third-Party Components
The Software bundles third-party open-source components under their own licenses, which remain in effect for those components:
