Terms of use

Last updated: October 12, 2026

These terms apply to your use of Lightweight Cloud Connector (LCC) and of this website. By downloading or using LCC you accept these terms. The software itself is governed by the license of the version you use, explained below.

License

LCC is free and open source software, at no cost and with no paid features. Starting with version 27H1, beginning with the 27H1-preview.20261012.50 preview, it is released under the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later (GPL-3.0-or-later). You may use, study, copy, modify and redistribute it. If you distribute LCC or a modified version, you must do so under that same license and make the source code available to whoever receives it.

Under section 7 of the GPL, the license carries an additional term set out in the NOTICE file: it grants no rights to the names "Lightweight Cloud Connector" and "LCC" or to the LCC logo and icons. Modified versions you distribute must be marked as modified, be distributed under a different name, and not suggest that they are the original LCC or that its author endorses them.

Versions up to and including 26H2 Update 1 were released under the MIT license, and copies obtained under that license remain under it.

If anything in these terms conflicts with the license of the version you use, the license prevails.

No warranty

LCC is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the author shall not be liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from the software or its use.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded by law, such as liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or any rights you have as a consumer under the laws of your country of residence.

Your responsibility when using LCC

  • LCC acts with your own Google Cloud accounts and permissions. Actions you take in the application, such as stopping or resetting machines, deleting snapshots, publishing SSH keys, enabling APIs or creating firewall rules, have real effects on your projects.
  • Using Google Cloud may incur charges on your Google billing account. Those charges are your responsibility.
  • You must comply with Google Cloud's terms and with your organization's policies on access to its systems.
  • Keep your computer and user account secure: LCC trusts the machine it runs on.

Third-party services

LCC connects to Google Cloud, and this website uses Cloudflare, GitHub and Buy Me a Coffee. Each of those services has its own terms. LCC is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Google. Google Cloud is a trademark of Google LLC.

Downloads

Official packages are published on the repository's GitHub releases, with SHA-256 checksums and provenance attestations you can verify with gh attestation verify. Only download LCC from this website or from that repository.

Donations

Contributions through Buy Me a Coffee are voluntary. They do not unlock features or entitle you to support or any particular level of service.

Security issues

If you find a vulnerability, do not open a public issue: write to us privately at aim@jordilopezr.com with the affected version, a description of the issue and steps to reproduce it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Chile, and any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of Chile. If you live in the European Union or in another country whose consumer protection laws give you a mandatory right, you keep that right and may also bring a claim before the courts of your country.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. For any question, write to aim@jordilopezr.com.
