Your license includes access to Software updates for as long as your GitHub Sponsorship remains active. If your sponsorship ends:

  • You may continue using the version of the Software you have already obtained
  • You will no longer have access to the repository or future updates
  • All other terms of this license continue to apply to your retained copy
