Is it forbidden to use @SdkProtectedApi outside of the SDK?

Hi team,

Is it forbidden to use @SdkProtectedApi classes outside of the SDK?

The SDK has a ResettableInputStream class for wrapping FileInputStreams that allows files to be reset for retries.

We want to use it with the SDK, but we want to expose the class in our s3 facade so we can maintain an InputStream interface on our facade.

Thanks

It's not forbidden, but we don't make any backwards compatibility promises as we would do for @SdkPublicApi and reserve the right to change it in non-backwards compatible ways or even remove it if not longer needed. So, you can use it, but at your own peril.
