Licence and warranty

AceMQ for RabbitMQ administration is Apache License 2.0. You may use it in production, commercially, without asking and without paying.

No warranty

The libraries are provided "as is", without warranties or conditions of any kind, and the authors and contributors accept no liability for damages arising from their use.

That is not a notice added here for comfort — it is section 7 and section 8 of the licence, and it is the same footing as every other Apache-licensed dependency already running in your systems.

Practically, it means the same thing it means for any open-source library you depend on: test it against your workload before you rely on it. The integration suite runs against a real RabbitMQ 4.x broker in a container, and what it covers is stated plainly in the documentation — including the parts of the management API that are not wrapped yet.

This library writes to a broker: it creates and deletes vhosts, users, permissions and policies. deleteVhost destroys every queue and message in a vhost with no confirmation and no undo. Point it at a test broker until you are sure of what your code does.

If you need more than a licence gives you

Warranties, indemnity, response times and someone accountable come from a contract, not from a licence. That is what AceMQ Enterprise support is for: architecture review, production readiness, TLS and permission design, and incident response.

The libraries are complete and free to use without it, and are not crippled to sell it.

Trademarks

The licence grants no trademark rights (section 6).

RabbitMQ is a trademark of Broadcom Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. AceMQ is an independent project, is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Broadcom, and references to RabbitMQ describe compatibility only.

This library targets RabbitMQ's HTTP management API specifically. That API is RabbitMQ's own and is not a standard; naming it describes what this code talks to, and claims nothing more.

Prometheus is a trademark of The Linux Foundation.

Contributions

Contributions are accepted under the same licence, per section 5: anything you deliberately submit for inclusion is licensed to the project under Apache-2.0 unless you state otherwise.
