[DRAFT] Licensing API

[!IMPORTANT]
The Licensing API is only available to developers who have a good reason to use it and have been vetted by us.

Usage of the Licensing API without undergoing the vetting process will cause the plugin to crash.

The Licensing API allows the use of DRM and licensing features to protect code and revenue.

The rules for using the Licensing API are very strict.

It can only be used for:

• Protecting properties code and libraries
• Ensuring users have a paid license

It cannot be used to:

• Disable advertisements for paid users
• Harvest user data

Developers must specify exactly what information is used for licensing, such as machine idenfiers.

The plugin must be signed when using the Licensing API. See Plugin Signing.
