ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
================================================================================

The materials in this repository — including but not limited to the
`truth_in_ai_verify` Python package, `PROTOCOL.md`, `NOTICE.md`, the signed
result files, the `MANIFEST.sha256` document, and all associated code and
documentation (collectively, the "Materials") — are the proprietary work of
David Zubick and Jennifer Huff and are protected as trade secrets under
18 U.S.C. § 1836 (Defend Trade Secrets Act), the Uniform Trade Secrets Act,
Article 39 TRIPS, and applicable state and international law.

--- GRANT OF USE (narrow, non-exclusive, revocable) ---

Subject to the restrictions below, and only for so long as you comply with
them, you are permitted to:

  (a) install the `truth-in-ai-verify` package from PyPI or clone this
      repository;
  (b) execute the verifier for the sole purpose of confirming the authenticity
      of a Truth-in-AI TREVS signed result (Ed25519 signature verification,
      recomputation of stored AUCs, and inspection of the associated
      OpenTimestamps Bitcoin proofs);
  (c) read the code for the purpose described in (b).

--- RESTRICTIONS ---

You may NOT, without prior written permission from David Zubick and
Jennifer Huff:

  1. Copy, redistribute, publish, mirror, or sublicense the Materials or any
     portion of them;
  2. Modify, adapt, translate, port, or create derivative works of the
     Materials;
  3. Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to
     derive the underlying algorithms, feature construction, tokenizer
     design, encoder logic, or trained model parameters, whether from the
     Materials, from any signed result produced by the Materials, or from
     any output of the detector;
  4. Use the Materials to train, fine-tune, distill, augment, evaluate, or
     benchmark any machine-learning model, tokenizer, or embedding, whether
     directly or as part of a dataset;
  5. Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, trade-secret notice,
     signature, or Bitcoin timestamp reference contained in the Materials;
  6. Use the name "TriGeoChiral", "Truth-in-AI", "TREVS", or any confusingly
     similar mark to identify a competing product, service, or endorsement;
  7. Publish, cite, or represent any modified or forged result as being
     produced or endorsed by David Zubick, Jennifer Huff, or TriGeoChiral
     Engineering.

--- CROSS-REFERENCE ---

The trade-secret status of the underlying detector, its features, its
tokenizer, and its trained models is declared in the accompanying
`NOTICE.md`, whose priority of invention is anchored on the Bitcoin
blockchain via OpenTimestamps (see `NOTICE.md.ots`). Verifying a signed
result under this License does NOT grant any right, license, or interest
in that underlying work.

--- NO WARRANTY ---

THE MATERIALS ARE 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. IN NO EVENT SHALL
THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR
OTHER LIABILITY.

--- TERMINATION ---

Any violation of the Restrictions terminates the Grant of Use automatically
and without notice. Upon termination you must delete all copies of the
Materials in your possession or control.

--- ADDITIONAL TERMS ---

ACCEPTANCE. Cloning, downloading, installing, or executing any of the
Materials constitutes acceptance of this License. If you do not accept it,
you must not access the Materials.

NO COMPETING USE. Without limiting the Restrictions above, you may not use
the Materials, or any knowledge derived from them, to build, train, tune,
market, or operate any AI-generated-text detection product, service, or
research artifact that competes, directly or indirectly, with Truth-in-AI
or with any product or service offered by TriGeoChiral Engineering.

CONFIDENTIALITY. Any information you obtain about the Materials that is
not published in this repository — including but not limited to error
messages, internal state, timing behavior, and undocumented behavior — is
Confidential Information of TriGeoChiral Engineering and may not be
disclosed to any third party.

NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This License creates no rights in any party
other than the licensee.

GOVERNING LAW & VENUE. This License is governed by the laws of the State

cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and
that TriGeoChiral Engineering is entitled to seek injunctive relief in
addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this License is held unenforceable, the
remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This License, together with the accompanying NOTICE.md,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
Materials and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals, and agreements.
