MASHBOX Kernel Licence, version 1.0 (28 October 2026)

Copyright 2026 MASHBOX Labs. hello@mashbox.gg

1. What this covers

This licence covers the compiled files MASHBOX Labs ships with each model
release: the kernel bundles (files under kernels/ in a model's Hugging Face
repo, our Culet kernels) and the precompiled XLA compile cache (files under
compile-cache/). Together they are "the Kernels". The source code in this
repository is not covered here; it is under the Apache License 2.0 in LICENSE.
Model weights keep their makers' licences.

2. What you may do, free of charge

You may download, install, run and copy the Kernels, unmodified, to run the
models they ship with, through the mashbox package or your own code, for:
  a. personal use;
  b. research, teaching and evaluation;
  c. any use, including commercial production, by a person or organisation
     whose total annual revenue (including affiliates) is under
     US$1,000,000.

You may redistribute the Kernels unmodified, as part of a model release or a
copy of this repository, if this licence goes with them.

3. When you need a commercial licence

An organisation with total annual revenue (including affiliates) of
US$1,000,000 or more needs a commercial licence from MASHBOX Labs to use the
Kernels in production. Evaluation and research are free at any size. Write to
hello@mashbox.gg.

4. What you may not do

  a. Sell the Kernels on their own, or offer them as a separate product.
  b. Remove or change this licence or the copyright line.
  c. Use the MASHBOX name or marks to endorse your product without written
     permission.

5. No warranty

THE KERNELS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN
NO EVENT SHALL MASHBOX LABS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER
LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE KERNELS OR THEIR USE.

6. Ending

This licence ends automatically if you break its terms. It comes back if you
fix the breach within 30 days of learning of it.
