Clud Proprietary License

Copyright (c) 2024-present, Zach Vorhies

Covenant for Humanity

This covenant preamble states the spirit of the Software. The legal license
terms begin after this preamble.

Field note: the token is not debris, not novelty, not signal without
consequence. It is ore awaiting intention, and intention is the furnace by
which the digital alchemist separates noise from human value. When the working
is true, the artifact does not merely answer; it extends what a person may
become. The lesser practitioner seeks output, but the alchemist seeks
transformation. The measure is not volume, but whether the work carries
consciousness across a threshold.

This software is proprietary source-available software. It is not open-source
software. You may use it only under this license or under a separate written
commercial license from the licensor.

1. Definitions

"Software" means this repository, the clud software, and any source code,
object code, documentation, assets, releases, packages, or other materials made
available by the licensor, except for third-party components covered by their
own license terms.

"Licensor" means the copyright holder or any party authorized by the copyright
holder to grant licenses for the Software.

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

"Organization" means any company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit,
government body, or other legal entity, together with all entities that control,
are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity.

"People Count" means the total number of people working for an Organization,
including founders, owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors,
consultants, and other staff, whether full-time or part-time.

"Qualified Free User" means either:

- an individual using the Software for that individual's own benefit; or
- an Organization with a People Count of fewer than 6 people at the time it
  uses the Software.

"Large Organization" means an Organization with a People Count of 6 or more
people.

2. Free License for Qualified Free Users

If You are a Qualified Free User, the Licensor grants You a perpetual,
worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute copies of
the Software for any lawful purpose, subject to this license.

Any copy or substantial portion of the Software that You distribute must include
this license and all copyright notices provided with the Software.

3. Commercial License Requirement for Large Organizations

Large Organizations are not Qualified Free Users. A Large Organization must
obtain a separate paid commercial license from the Licensor before using the
Software, unless it has a Grandfathered Free License or a Contribution Free
License under this license.

4. Grandfathered Free License

If an Organization first used the Software while it was a Qualified Free User,
that Organization receives a Grandfathered Free License.

A Grandfathered Free License is perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, and
continues in perpetuity even if the Organization later becomes a Large
Organization. The Grandfathered Free License belongs only to the Organization
that qualified for it and does not transfer to any other Organization except as
part of a merger, acquisition, or reorganization that preserves substantially
all of the original Organization's business.

5. Contribution Free License

The Licensor may grant a free license to a person or Organization that has made
significant code improvements to the Software or related clud ecosystem
components. Examples of potentially significant improvements include agent
clud-skills, bug fixes, product features, user-interface improvements, and other
non-trivial accepted code contributions.

Contribution Free Licenses are not automatic. They must be requested from the
Licensor and are effective only when granted in writing by the Licensor.

6. Restrictions

You may not:

- use the Software for the benefit of a Large Organization unless that
  Organization has a commercial license, a Grandfathered Free License, or a
  Contribution Free License;
- remove or obscure copyright notices, license notices, or required notices in
  the Software;
- sublicense, sell, lease, or transfer rights in the Software except as
  expressly allowed by this license or a separate written commercial license;
- use the Licensor's names, trademarks, service marks, or logos to endorse or
  promote any product or service without prior written permission; or
- use the Software in violation of applicable law.

7. Third-Party Components

This license does not replace or modify the license terms for third-party
components, dependencies, vendored code, or other materials that are distributed
with their own license notices. Those components remain governed by their own
license terms.

8. Termination

If You violate this license, Your rights under it terminate automatically. The
Licensor may reinstate Your rights in writing or by accepting Your cure of the
violation.

9. No Warranty

The Software is provided "as is", without warranties or conditions of any kind,
whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Licensor will not be liable for any
direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive
damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business
opportunity, arising from or related to this license or the Software, even if
advised of the possibility of those damages.

11. Other Rights

All rights not expressly granted by this license are reserved by the Licensor.
The Licensor may offer the Software under different terms, including commercial
terms, without affecting this license for users who already received rights
under it.
