# AutoYou Source-Available Personal-Use License

Version 1.4 (September 29, 2026)

This AutoYou Source-Available Personal-Use License (the "License") is a
limited copyright license from OpenStorey LLC, a California limited liability
company ("OpenStorey"), to the person using the Licensed Materials
("Licensee"). By accessing, copying, modifying, building, running, or using
the Licensed Materials, Licensee accepts this License. If Licensee does not
accept it, Licensee must stop using the Licensed Materials and delete copies
that Licensee is not otherwise entitled to retain.

This is a source-available license. It is not represented as an OSI-approved
open-source license and does not grant the broad commercial freedoms normally
associated with an open-source license. This License does not replace a
separate written agreement signed by OpenStorey, a third-party license, an
app-store rule, a privacy notice, a consumer right that cannot lawfully be
waived, or a mandatory rule of applicable law.

## 1. Definitions

* **"Licensed Materials"** means the AutoYou source code, compiled binaries,
  executables, scripts, assets, web pages, documentation, configuration files,
  tests, build instructions, and other materials that OpenStorey distributes
  under this License, excluding Third-Party Materials.
* **"Third-Party Materials"** means software, models, SDKs, libraries, APIs,
  services, media, fonts, data, or other material owned by a third party and
  governed by its own license or terms.
* **"Personal Use"** means use by a natural person for that person's private,
  non-commercial purposes on devices that person owns or is authorized to
  control, including personal use, household use, personal education,
  research, evaluation, accessibility, and private development. Personal Use
  does not include use for an employer, company, customer, public body,
  organization, paid service, production operation, or business process.
* **"Enterprise Use"** means any use by, for, or on behalf of a company,
  employer, partnership, public body, nonprofit, school as an organization,
  customer, or other organization, or any use in a paid, customer-facing,
  production, managed, hosted, or revenue-generating operation.
* **"Derivative Work"** means a modification, adaptation, integration,
  compilation, build, installer, package, hosted service, fork, plugin, agent
  bundle, white-label version, or other work based on or incorporating the
  Licensed Materials.
* **"Official Build"** means an artifact that OpenStorey or an authorized
  release operator builds, signs, notarizes, publishes, or presents as an
  authorized AutoYou release. A private build is not an Official Build merely
  because it uses the AutoYou name in a source comment or because it was
  compiled from public source.

The term **"AutoYou Owner Board"** refers to a governance designation used by
OpenStorey. It is not a separate contracting party, guarantor, charity, or
trust unless a separate instrument expressly identifies and authorizes it as
such. OpenStorey is the licensor and contracting party for this License.

## 2. Personal-Use Grant

Subject to this License, OpenStorey grants Licensee a limited, worldwide,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to
access, run, privately modify, privately compile, and privately use the
Licensed Materials solely for Personal Use.

Licensee may create an unofficial private build for Personal Use. Licensee
must label that build as unofficial when sharing it with another person and
must not state or imply that OpenStorey, AutoYou, the AutoYou Owner Board, or
any contributor approved, signed, supports, or warrants it.

This License does not authorize Enterprise Use. Enterprise Use, commercial
redistribution, paid hosted access, SaaS or managed services, customer or
production deployment, white-labeling, marketplace distribution, bundled paid
support, sublicensing, or other commercial exploitation requires a separate
written commercial agreement signed by OpenStorey before that use begins. A
runtime field, checkbox, build token, subscription, payment, or request for
build access is not itself a commercial license.

## 3. Restrictions

Unless a separate written agreement expressly permits it, Licensee must not:

1. use the Licensed Materials for Enterprise Use or any commercial purpose;
2. distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, publish, host, or make available
   a Derivative Work to another person as a product or service;
3. operate AutoYou as a managed service, hosted service, customer support
   service, or revenue-generating service;
4. remove or obscure required copyright, license, attribution, safety, or
   third-party notices;
5. use AutoYou, OpenStorey, or related marks, domains, logos, artwork, or
   product identity to imply endorsement, affiliation, certification, or an
   Official Build;
6. bypass, disable, tamper with, or interfere with a release gate, entitlement
   check, payment control, account control, access control, security feature,
   audit record, or service restriction in order to obtain an unauthorized
   commercial or hosted benefit; or
7. distribute a build containing signing keys, credentials, private service
   configuration, or other confidential release material.
8. [Reserved.]
9. use the Licensed Materials, in whole or in part, as training data,
   fine-tuning data, or reinforcement data for any machine learning model,
   large language model, code generation system, or automated code completion
   tool, or copy them into a dataset assembled for that purpose, without prior
   written authorization from OpenStorey LLC. Using an AI assistant or agent to
   help a person read, run, or privately modify the Licensed Materials for
   Personal Use, or to prepare a contribution that OpenStorey has requested,
   does not violate this item.

Nothing in this License prevents a person using an independent private build
for Personal Use from configuring that build for local-only operation, when
doing so does not violate a Third-Party Material license or another written
agreement. This permission does not authorize an organization or a commercial
operator to remove or bypass OpenStorey controls in a distributed, hosted, or
Enterprise deployment.

## 4. User Responsibility and Lawful Operation

AutoYou is self-operated software. Licensee is solely responsible for the
data, prompts, messages, media, credentials, accounts, models, agents,
plugins, automations, devices, recipients, outputs, and third-party services
that Licensee connects to or operates with AutoYou.

Licensee represents and warrants that Licensee will:

1. use AutoYou only with the rights, notices, permissions, consents, lawful
   bases, and approvals required for the intended use;
2. comply with applicable privacy, data-protection, consumer-protection,
   employment, recording, wiretap, telecommunications, anti-spam,
   export-control, sanctions, intellectual-property, platform, app-store, and
   third-party service rules;
3. not use AutoYou for unlawful surveillance, unauthorized access, credential
   misuse, malware, spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, impersonation,
   harassment, infringement, deceptive practices, or other unlawful or abusive
   activity; and
4. not represent AutoYou, OpenStorey, the AutoYou Owner Board, contributors,
   Apple, Google, Meta, Signal, Telegram, model providers, or another third
   party as sponsoring, endorsing, approving, or controlling Licensee's use
   without express written authorization.

For a hosted OpenStorey service, data handling is governed by the applicable
AutoYou Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, service-specific notice, and any signed
data-processing agreement. For a local, self-hosted, source, or privately
compiled deployment, Licensee is the operator and is responsible for access
control, retention, deletion, backups, logs, data-subject requests, and
downstream processing.

## 5. Hosted Services and Third-Party Integrations

This License grants no right to an AutoYou Cloud account, Cloud Pair,
private-priority relay, shared community relay, STUN/TURN/ICE service,
offline-notification service, reverse proxy or tunnel, messaging-partner
service, QR configuration service, x402 access, advertising program, reward
credit, subscription waiver, support plan, or other hosted entitlement. Each
service is optional, may be unavailable or changed, and is subject to its
current service terms, privacy notice, eligibility rules, provider rules, and
technical limits.

AutoYou may interoperate with messaging providers, AI providers, app stores,
SDKs, operating systems, relays, tunnel providers, payment or x402
facilitators, advertising providers, and APIs. Those providers are not parties
to this License. Their terms, licenses, privacy notices, age limits, consent
requirements, and enforcement decisions apply to the relevant integration.
Licensee must stop using an integration if Licensee lacks authorization or if
a provider, platform, regulator, or law requires the use to stop.

## 6. Runtime Acceptance and Unofficial Builds

By entering an administration password, clicking Start, Unlock, Sign In,
Agree, or Connect, or otherwise using a released client or server, the user
confirms that the user reviewed and accepted this License, the linked Terms of
Use and Privacy Policy, the applicable Third-Party Materials notices, and the
responsibility obligations above.

An unofficial build may be compiled by a user for Personal Use, but it is not
an OpenStorey release, is not covered by OpenStorey signing or support, and
must not be presented as official. A build-access or electronic-signature
workflow at `sign.autoyou.me` may be used to document authorization for an
Official Build. It does not disclose or transfer signing keys, private network
details, or private source code to the signer. Approval records may be sent to
`build@autoyou.me` and retained as evidence of the agreed artifact scope.

## 7. Intellectual Property and Contributions

OpenStorey and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the
Licensed Materials, AutoYou names, marks, logos, product identity, goodwill,
documentation, and related intellectual property, except for the limited
license expressly granted here.

No patent, trademark, trade-secret, hosted-service, signing-key, entitlement,
commercial-distribution, app-store, support, update, or Official Build right
is granted unless expressly stated in a written agreement signed by OpenStorey.
Nothing in this License is an assignment of intellectual property or a promise
to assign it. A contribution is accepted only under the contribution terms,
assignment, or contributor license agreement that applies to that contribution.

## 8. Third-Party Materials and Required Notices

Third-Party Materials are governed by their own license terms and notices.
This License does not grant rights to third-party software, models, SDKs, APIs,
services, media, data, fonts, or platforms beyond the rights their owners
grant. If this License conflicts with a mandatory third-party license for a
specific component, that third-party license controls for that component only.

Release artifacts should include the artifact-specific `NOTICE.txt`,
`THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`, SBOM, and applicable license texts. The presence of
an AutoYou license does not replace a required source offer, relinking right,
notice, attribution, or network-source obligation under GPL, LGPL, AGPL, MPL,
or another third-party license.

## 9. No Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSED MATERIALS ARE
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE,
NONINFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR
COMPATIBILITY WITH A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.

OpenStorey, the AutoYou Owner Board, contributors, developers, maintainers,
officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and affiliates do not
warrant uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, data preservation,
provider availability, platform acceptance, legal suitability, or freedom from
account action, service suspension, claims, or regulatory review. AutoYou is
not a law firm, medical provider, financial adviser, emergency service,
telecommunications carrier, or compliance service. Outputs must be reviewed by
qualified humans before regulated, high-risk, legal, medical, financial,
safety, employment, or consumer-impacting use.

## 10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OPENSTOREY, THE AUTOYOU
OWNER BOARD, CONTRIBUTORS, DEVELOPERS, MAINTAINERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR
ENHANCED DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL; BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION; SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; SECURITY INCIDENTS; THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNT
ACTION; PLATFORM REJECTION; REGULATORY INVESTIGATION; OR A CLAIM ARISING
FROM LICENSEE DATA, AUTOMATIONS, OUTPUTS, MODELS, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR
UNAUTHORIZED USE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OPENSTOREY'S TOTAL
AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS LICENSE OR THE LICENSED
MATERIALS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS LICENSEE PAID DIRECTLY
TO OPENSTOREY FOR THE LICENSED MATERIALS IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM
OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. In those
jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations apply to the fullest extent
permitted by law and do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

## 11. [Reserved]

## 12. Termination and General Terms

This License terminates automatically if Licensee materially breaches it. On
termination, Licensee must stop the unauthorized use, distribution, hosting,
and commercial exploitation of the Licensed Materials and stop using AutoYou
marks or official branding. Sections that by their nature should survive,
including responsibility, third-party risk, warranty disclaimer, liability
limits, intellectual-property reservation, termination, and enforcement,
survive.

This License is governed by the law specified in the applicable agreement or,
if none exists, the laws applicable to OpenStorey in California, without
regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute forum, arbitration provision,
consumer-law protection, or other mandatory rule is subject to the applicable
written agreement and non-waivable law. If any provision is unenforceable, it
will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions
will remain in effect.

license expressly granted above.
