## Noncompete
83+
84+
Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any
85+
product that competes with the software or any product the
86+
licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software.
87+
88+
## Competition
89+
90+
Goods and services compete even when they provide functionality
91+
through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical
92+
platforms. Applications can compete with services, libraries
93+
with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on,
94+
even if they're written in different programming languages
95+
or for different computer architectures. Goods and services
96+
compete even when provided free of charge. If you market a
97+
product as a practical substitute for the software or another
98+
product, it definitely competes.
99+
100+
## New Products
101+
102+
If you are using the software to provide a product that does
103+
not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings
104+
your product into competition by providing a new version of
105+
the software or another product using the software, you may
106+
continue using versions of the software available under these
107+
terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not
108+
any later versions.
109+
110+
## Discontinued Products
111+
112+
You may begin using the software to compete with a product
113+
or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has
114+
stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text
115+
line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the
116+
software that mentions that line of business. For example:
