BaseRT Engine — Proprietary Software License

Copyright (c) 2026 BaseCompute. All rights reserved.

This package distributes the BaseRT Engine (the "Engine"): the compiled
`libbaseRT` dynamic library, its GPU kernel libraries (`baseRT.metallib` and
`baseRT_tensor.metallib` on macOS, `baseRT_cuda_kernels.fatbin` on Linux), and
the `basert-*` runtime executables. The Engine is proprietary and confidential
to BaseCompute.

1. License grant. Subject to your compliance with this license, BaseCompute
   grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable
   license to install and run unmodified copies of the Engine, for your own
   internal use and evaluation, on hardware you own or control that is
   (a) Apple Silicon, or (b) a Linux system with an NVIDIA GPU.

2. Restrictions. You may not, in whole or in part: (a) redistribute,
   sublicense, sell, rent, lease, host as a service, or otherwise make the
   Engine available to any third party; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or
   disassemble the Engine, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code or
   underlying algorithms, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited
   by applicable law; (c) modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the
   Engine; or (d) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary or attribution
   notices.

3. Open-source components. This license covers only the Engine binaries listed
   above. The BaseRT C API headers, the `.base` model format, the `basert` CLI
   and model converter, and the language bindings are published separately as
   open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0
   (https://github.com/basecompute/baseRT) and are governed by that license,
   not this one. Third-party components incorporated into the Engine are listed
   in the accompanying NOTICE file and remain under their respective licenses.

4. No warranty. THE ENGINE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
   EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

5. Limitation of liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL BASECOMPUTE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
   CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT,
   OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENGINE OR ITS USE.

6. Termination. This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its
   terms. On termination you must cease using and delete all copies of the
   Engine.
