I'm curious how this phrasing works in conjunction with multiple licenses. If the mere use of the software implies that I'm bound by this commercial license, then how do I use Slint not under this license but say the GPL?
Is this somehow related to distribution or the presence of this license in the distribution?

This seems a little too wide perhaps.
In the previous version it says
"We grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Licensed Software, including making modifications, for the sole purposes of designing, developing, and testing your Products during the Term."
This merely grants the right to use and modify for the given purpose.
Distribution is covered here:
"We grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to reproduce and distribute the object code form of the Licensed Software,"
And this limits distribution to object code, which seems correct and specific.
I suggest to change the proposed wording to limit distribution to object code.

Are you sure about the "running on a server" part? For Slint compiled to web-assembly there is nothing implied about anything running on a server.
Maybe it would make more sense to say that it's designed to run in the sand box environment provided by web browsers. (what about web runtimes?)

Taking inspiration from the Royalty-free license, I am considering to simplify the commercial license.
This is a first draft. After incorporating your comments, we could ask Till to review it.
