QIVARYN ATTRIBUTION LICENSE
Version 1.0, 2026-10-17

Copyright (c) 2026 Usama Nadeem (@usamanadim)

IMPORTANT: This is a project-specific source-available license, not a standard
open-source license. It permits commercial use, but requires attribution as
described below. By exercising any of the rights granted by this license, you
agree to its terms.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Work" means the Qivaryn software, including its source code and documentation,
made available by the copyright holder under this license.

"You" means the person or legal entity exercising rights under this license.

"Derivative Work" means a work based on or incorporating all or a substantial
portion of the Work, including modifications, adaptations, and applications
that bundle or incorporate the Work.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

Subject to the conditions in this license, the copyright holder grants You a
worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to
use, reproduce, modify, create Derivative Works from, publicly display,
distribute, sublicense, and commercially exploit the Work and Derivative Works.

Commercial use is expressly permitted. No separate fee or permission is
required if You comply with this license.

3. ATTRIBUTION CONDITION

Whenever You exercise the rights in section 2 to use, reproduce, modify, or
create a Derivative Work, You must preserve this license and the attribution
record with the Work and any modified source copy. If You incorporate or use
the Work in an application, or distribute the Work or a Derivative Work, You
must also give clear and reasonably prominent credit to both Qivaryn and its
original author, Usama Nadeem (@usamanadim), and include a link to the
original project repository:

    https://github.com/usamanadim/qivaryn-engine

For an application, place this credit in an About, credits, acknowledgments,
or third-party notices screen or document. If the application has no such
screen or documentation, include it in a third-party notices file distributed
with the application. For source or binary redistribution, retain this license
and the attribution record, and preserve existing copyright and license
notices. You may add your own notices, but may not imply that the original
author endorses Your work.

These conditions also apply to modifications and Derivative Works. They do
not require You to publish your source code or license Your own independent
contributions under this license.

4. AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT

If an AI coding agent uses or incorporates the Work to develop another
application or Derivative Work, the person or organization distributing or
using that application remains responsible for complying with this license.
The agent must preserve and communicate the attribution requirement and should
add the credit above to the application's appropriate documentation, license
notices, About/credits screen, or third-party acknowledgments. AI-generated
changes do not remove these obligations.

5. NO TRADEMARK OR ENDORSEMENT RIGHTS

This license does not grant rights to use the Qivaryn name, logos, or other
trademarks except as reasonably needed to provide the required attribution.
Attribution does not imply endorsement.

6. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THE WORK IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT,
OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WORK OR THE USE
OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE WORK.

7. TERMINATION

If You fail to comply with the attribution condition, the rights granted to
You terminate. They will be reinstated if You cure the violation within 30
days after becoming aware of it, and will not otherwise be permanently
terminated for that cured violation. All other termination rights available
under applicable law remain unaffected.

8. GOVERNING LAW

This license is governed by the laws applicable to the copyright holder,
without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is unenforceable,
the remaining provisions continue in effect.
