Detected risks
What risks are detected
Reverse engineering restrictions
Normal interoperability and debugging work can be prohibited.
IP indemnity gaps
You may carry infringement risk even as a licensee.
Use scope is narrow (users/devices/environments)
Using outside scope can trigger back-billing or breach claims.
Audit rights with cost shifting
If you “fail” an audit, you may pay audit costs plus penalties.
No redistribution/sublicensing
Bundling software into your product can be a violation.

Why it matters
Why it matters
- You can absorb audit costs when measurement rules are one-sided.
- You can face back-billing if use scope is narrower than how your team actually deploys.
- You can lose product velocity if restrictions block integrations or redistribution.
- You can lose continuity if minor breaches trigger fast termination.
