License

Tracedown is open-source software, distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. You can read the source, run it, modify it, self-host it, and redistribute it — commercially or otherwise — under the license's terms.

The authoritative text is the LICENSE file distributed with the source. Nothing on this page overrides it — where this summary and the license file disagree, the license file wins.

One deliberate exception: the Tracedown name and logo are trademarks of the project and are not covered by the Apache license — see Name & Logo.

The probe language

Lace — the language your probe scripts are written in, along with its validator and executor implementations — is an independent project, also licensed under Apache License 2.0. It is a specification with independent implementations and a public conformance suite, so probes you write are yours and are not locked to this platform.
