Modify the Components and Templates to create derivative components and templates. Those components and templates are subject to this license.
Use the Components, Templates, and Libraries to create unlimited End Products for unlimited Clients.
Use the Components, Templates, and Libraries to create End Products where the End Product is sold to End Users.
Use the Components, Templates, and Libraries to create End Products that are open source and freely available to End Users.

Creating a commercial SaaS application (like an invoicing app for example) where end users have to pay a fee to use the application.
Creating a commercial self-hosted web application that is sold to end users for a one-time fee.
Creating a web application where the primary purpose is clearly not to simply re-distribute the components or libraries (like a conference organization app that uses them for its UI for example) that is free and open source, where the source code is publicly available.

Examples of usage not allowed by the license:

Creating a repository of your favorite Tailwind Plus components, templates, or libraries (or derivatives of them) and publishing it publicly.
