Questions
The fine print, in plain words.
What exactly is a “set”?
All thirteen daemons licensed together for one host — priced at £1 per daemon, sold as one £13 bundle. The set is the only unit we sell; there is no per-daemon cart to micro-manage.
What counts as commercial use?
Running Binions for a business or any revenue-generating activity — including internal tooling at a company. Personal projects, homelabs, education and registered charities stay on the free tier.
Are updates included?
Yes. A licence covers the whole 1.x line — every update, security fix and new verb, at no extra cost. No maintenance plan to renew.
What happens when I uninstall?
Removing the set from a host returns its licence automatically, so you can redeem it on a replacement machine. Removing a single daemon leaves the rest of the set licensed and running.
Is there metering or telemetry billing?
No. Nothing counts your runs, tasks or seats. Your hardware is the only meter — and the platform idles at 629 MB RSS, so that meter barely moves.
