# advexp-settings-cloud

**This project is a defensive name reservation published by Advexp. It contains no code.**

The real `advexp-settings-cloud` package — the Advexp.Settings Cloud plugin — is
**not distributed on the public PyPI**. It is available to licensed customers
through the Advexp private package index.

## Why this placeholder exists

Distributing paid packages from a private index while their names are free on the
public PyPI invites a *dependency confusion* attack: an attacker registers the same
name on PyPI with an inflated version number, and package managers configured with
both indexes may pick the attacker's build.

Owning the name on PyPI makes this attack impossible. For the same reason this
placeholder is pinned to version `0.0.1` and will never be upgraded, so it can
never win version resolution against the real package served from the private
index.

## License

Copyright 2026 Alexey Ivakin. All rights reserved. This placeholder is not
open-source licensed; the full notice ships in the LICENSE file of the
distribution. The real plugin is commercial software licensed under the
[Advexp Commercial EULA (draft)](https://advexp.github.io/advexp.settings/eula/).

## I installed this package by mistake

Importing it raises `ImportError` on purpose. To install the real plugin,
configure the Advexp private package index as described at
<https://advexp.github.io/advexp.settings/>.
