Licence

Free to use. Free to change. Free forever.

The ACBC GivEnergy Dashboard is released free of charge for anyone to use, study, modify and share. There are no licence fees, no subscription tiers and no usage restrictions.

• Use it for personal, educational or commercial purposes — no permission needed.
• Modify it — change the code, the design, the features, anything you like.
• Distribute it — share the original or your modified version with anyone, for free or for a fee.
• No attribution required — credit is appreciated but never obligatory.

There is only one thing we ask: if you redistribute a modified version, make it clear that it has been changed so people know it isn't the original.

No Warranty

This software is provided as-is, without any warranty of any kind. The authors accept no liability for any damage, data loss or consequential harm arising from its use. Use it at your own risk — though we've been running it happily on a Raspberry Pi for months.
