IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING:
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement" or "EULA") is a legally binding contract
between you (either an individual or a single legal entity, hereinafter "Licensee" or
"You") and Cognitus Lab ("Licensor", "Cognitus", "We", or "Us").

BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING AXIM OS (INCLUDING ITS
COMPILED BINARIES, LIBRARIES, DRIVERS, RUNTIME INTERFACES, SHADER BYTECODE, AND
ASSOCIATED PACKAGES), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL,
OR USE AXIM OS.

================================================================================
1. 100% COGNITUS LAB PROPRIETARY OWNERSHIP
================================================================================
Axim OS, including all compiled native machine code, libraries (libaxim_cpu,
libaxim_metal, libaxim_gpu, libaxim_gfx, axim._native), runtime orchestrators,
binary shader artifacts (SPIR-V, Metal libraries), mathematical algorithms,
FSM-3D state-transition sign-folding methods, J-Bound canonical subspace projection
matrices, neural fusion architectures, and documentation, are the sole and
exclusive property of Cognitus Lab.

This software is licensed, NOT sold. Cognitus Lab retains all right, title,
ownership, and interest in and to Axim OS, including all worldwide intellectual
property rights, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets, moral
rights, trademarks, and proprietary technical know-how.

No ownership rights or intellectual property rights are transferred to You.
All rights not expressly granted in Section 2 are strictly reserved by Cognitus Lab.

================================================================================
2. GRANT OF LIMITED USE LICENSE (EXECUTION ONLY)
================================================================================
Conditioned upon Your continuous compliance with all terms of this Agreement,
Cognitus Lab grants You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable,
revocable, limited license solely to:

  (a) Download and install compiled binary packages of Axim OS on Your personal
      computers, workstations, servers, or cloud virtual machines (including
      Apple Silicon, NVIDIA GPU, Google TPU, AMD, Intel, and host CPU systems);
  (b) Execute and run Axim OS binaries exclusively as a compute and graphics runtime
      engine to execute Your AI models, neural networks, graphical workloads, and
      applications (in the identical manner in which a runtime such as the NVIDIA
      CUDA Toolkit is utilized to run compute workloads on user hardware).

================================================================================
3. STRICT RESTRICTIONS — NO COPYING, NO RESELLING, NO REDISTRIBUTION
================================================================================
You explicitly agree that You shall NOT, directly or indirectly:

  (a) NO RESALE OR COMMERCIALIZATION: You shall not sell, resell, lease, rent,
      loan, license, sublicense, monetize, distribute, or transfer copies of
      Axim OS or any of its component binaries to any third party;
  (b) NO COPYING OR MIRRORING: You shall not copy, duplicate, replicate, mirror,
      or publicly host Axim OS binary downloads, wheels, or runtime libraries
      on any third-party server, repository, or distribution network without
      express prior written consent from Cognitus Lab;
  (c) NO SOURCE DISTRIBUTION: You shall not publish, distribute, or expose any
      uncompiled source code, header definitions, internal schemas, or architectural
      blueprints of Axim OS.

================================================================================
4. ANTI-REVERSE ENGINEERING, ANTI-DECOMPILATION, & IP PROTECTION
================================================================================
Axim OS contains valuable trade secrets, confidential algorithmic structures,
and proprietary mathematical representations belonging to Cognitus Lab.

You strictly agree that You shall NOT, and shall not assist, permit, or cause
any employee, contractor, agent, or third party to:

  (a) Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, decipher, probe,
      or attempt to derive the human-readable source code, internal logic,
      or algorithms of Axim OS binaries, drivers, or bytecode;
  (b) Extract, reconstruct, or isolate mathematical transforms, subspace matrices,
      FSM state tables, or neural kernel definitions embedded within the software;
  (c) Circumvent, disable, bypass, or defeat any binary stripping, obfuscation,
      integrity verification, digital signature, or anti-tamper mechanisms;
  (d) Modify, patch, adapt, create derivative works of, or build competing compiler
      or runtime frameworks based on Axim OS binaries or its architectural methods;
  (e) Use any automated disassembly tools, dynamic debuggers, binary analyzers,
      or memory dumping utilities to inspect or extract proprietary routines
      from running Axim OS processes.

================================================================================
5. TELEMETRY, UPDATES, AND VERIFICATION
================================================================================
Cognitus Lab may, from time to time, issue security patches, compatibility
updates, and optimized binary runtime libraries. Cognitus Lab reserves the right
to incorporate binary tamper-detection and integrity verification mechanisms to
ensure that the runtime executing on Your hardware has not been altered or compromised.

================================================================================
6. TERMINATION
================================================================================
This Agreement is effective from the date You first download, install, or use
