Where can I find the runtime license for CAP applications?
I found the license for @sap/cap-cds npm package (see below) which does not forbid me to create and run applications created with CAP at other servers/platforms than those from SAP and/or in a completely NON-SAP environment.
E.g. I could create an application which uses the sqlite database, deploy it to an arbitrary webserver and use it commercially. Is that correct or where is another more detailed license?

Hi christian.georgi,
if I have understood correctly, I can develop any derivative work using @sap/cap-cds (e.g. build a new library that uses and extends @sap/cap-cds), and deploy it in a NON-SAP environment, but in this case, the SAP support is not provided.
Am I right?
Thanks and kind regards
