Meerkat

Licensing

Meerkat is not free software, and is licensed on a per-site basis. Each site must also have an appropriate Statamic License.

#Development (Trial) Access

Meerkat is free to use locally during official beta and testing periods. Meerkat may also be used locally during the development process of your site without a license key.

#Acquisition and Redistribution

Meerkat may only be obtained through official channels (the Statamic Marketplace, and those specified in the installation guide). Meerkat may redistributed only in the capacity that it is part of a larger work for a client.

Repackaging, bundling, or making available Meerkat (or derivative works) as part of free/paid distributable package is strictly prohibited; for clarity:

  • Developing a Statamic site with Meerkat and sending those files to a client is okay,
  • Developing a Meerkat addon and redistributing that is okay,
  • Transferring licenses to a client is okay,
  • Customizing the Meerkat addon and/or Core and distributing that to a client is okay,
  • Customizing the Meerkat addon and/or Core and making it available outside of a developer/client relationship is not okay,
  • Developing and distributing a theme, template, or site builder that includes Meerkat template code is okay as long as Meerkat is not included in the distribution package,
  • Redistributing Meerkat as part of an addon bundle, site builder, etc. is not okay

tl;dr: If you're developing something custom for yourself or a client and you're good to go. If you are doing something that is obviously plagiarism than we are less good.

#Version Updates

Each paid Meerkat license entitles the owner to all updates for the major version it was purchase for. For example, if a license was purchased at version 3.0.2, you would be able to upgrade for free even at version 3.9.0.

Some features may be sold separately, and major version updates may be made available as a paid upgrade, or require a new license to be purchased. An example of a major version update would be going from version 2.x to version 3.x.

#Supported Statamic Versions

The development of Meerkat 3 will target the latest Statamic release.

Meerkat 1 for Statamic 2 and Meerkat 2 for Statamic 3 are no longer officially supported.
