                        HYPERNIX DUAL LICENSE
================================================================================

Copyright 2026 HyperNix contributors

This software ("the Software") is made available to You under the terms of
either of the following licenses, at Your option:

  (A) HyperNix Open Source License, Version 1.1 (HOS-1.1)
      — an open-source license derived from the Apache License 2.0, with
        the fuller definitions and guidance of the HyperNix licenses and no
        field-of-use restrictions; or

  (B) Apache License, Version 2.0 (Apache-2.0)
      — the unmodified Apache License, reproduced in full below.

You must elect one license and comply with its terms. You may not combine,
merge, or cherry-pick terms from both licenses. If You do not make an active
choice, the default license that applies to You is (A) HOS-1.1.

This dual license applies from version 0.72.8a1 of the Software. Releases
published before it remain available under the licenses they were published
with (the HyperNix OpenCode Light Limited Use License v0.1 or the HyperNix
Open Source License v1.0, at the recipient's option).

Contributions submitted to the project are accepted under both licenses
unless the Contributor explicitly states otherwise.

================================================================================
OPTION (A): HYPERNIX OPEN SOURCE LICENSE v1.1 (HOS-1.1)
================================================================================

Copyright 2026 HyperNix contributors

This License is derived from the Apache License, Version 2.0. It is
intended to conform to the Open Source Definition as published by the Open
Source Initiative (OSI). Version 1.1 keeps the grants and conditions of
version 1.0 and adds the more descriptive definitions, trademark terms and
model guidance of the HyperNix OpenCode Light Limited Use License v0.1
(LLU-0.1) — without its field-of-use restrictions, its same-license
requirement for Forks, or its binding transparency obligations, none of
which apply under this License. This document is self-contained: nothing
in it is incorporated by reference from any other license.

## 1. Definitions

**"License"** means the terms and conditions set out in this document.

**"Licensor"** means HyperNix contributors, the copyright owner(s) of the
Software.

**"You" ("Your")** means an individual or Legal Entity exercising
permissions granted by this License.

**"Legal Entity"** means an entity, together with all other entities that
control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity
(its "Affiliates"), where "control" means direct or indirect ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the entity's outstanding equity or voting
interests, or the contractual right to direct its management. Actions
taken by, or sharing among, Affiliates of the same Legal Entity are
treated as actions of a single Legal Entity under this License.

**"Software" ("Work")** means the HyperNix source code, scripts,
documentation, and associated files made available under this License,
in either Source or Object form, as indicated by a copyright notice
included in or attached to the work.

**"Source"** form means the preferred form for making modifications,
including source code, configuration files, and documentation source.

**"Object"** form means any form resulting from mechanical transformation
or translation of a Source form, including compiled object code, generated
documentation, and conversions to other media types.

**"Derivative Works"** means any work, in Source or Object form, that is
based on or derived from the Software, including modified copies,
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, and works into which the
Software has been incorporated, in whole or in part.

**"Fork"** means a copy of the Software's Source form maintained,
published, or distributed as a separate project or repository, whether or
not modified — including a version that has been substantially rewritten,
refactored, or reimplemented, if its development involved copying,
translating, or adapting a material portion of the Software's Source form,
architecture, or design, rather than being independently authored. A work
that merely uses an unmodified copy of the Software as a dependency, or
that was independently developed without copying a material portion of the
Software's Source form, is not a Fork. A Fork is a Derivative Work.

**"Contribution"** means any work of authorship, including the original
version of the Software and any modifications or additions to it, that is
intentionally submitted to the Licensor for inclusion in the Software by
the copyright owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to
submit on their behalf.

**"Contributor"** means the Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on
whose behalf a Contribution has been received by the Licensor and
subsequently incorporated within the Software.

**"Trained Model"** means any machine learning model — including without
limitation a small, medium, or large language model — that is trained,
fine-tuned, distilled, or otherwise produced in whole or Material Part
using the Software.

**"Material Part"** means the Software, or a Derivative Work of it, was
used for a step that shapes the Trained Model's parameters or training
data — including initialization, the training or fine-tuning loop,
optimizer logic, data curation or curriculum tooling, or checkpoint
conversion. Using the Software only for something that does not affect
the Trained Model's parameters or training data (e.g. an unrelated utility
script) is not use of a Material Part.

**"Original Creator"** means the individual(s) or Legal Entity that first
trains a given Trained Model.

**"Weight-Level Sharing"** means making a Trained Model's parameter
weights, or functional access sufficient to run, query, or otherwise
directly use the Trained Model (e.g. a hosted API, a downloadable
checkpoint, or a product built directly on it), available to any person or
entity other than its Original Creator.

**"Documentation-Level Sharing"** means making a model or system card,
sample outputs, or a technical paper or report about a Trained Model
available to any person or entity other than its Original Creator, without
also engaging in Weight-Level Sharing of that Trained Model. For both
Sharing definitions, making a Trained Model available only among
Affiliates of the Original Creator's own Legal Entity is not Sharing.

**"Full Release Version"** means a version of the Software numbered 0.71.4
or higher under the Software's official versioning scheme, excluding
alpha, beta, dev, nightly, and release-candidate builds.

**"Open Source"**, as applied to a Trained Model's training or inference
code, means released under an OSI-approved or substantially equivalent
open license. **"Open Weight"** means the Trained Model's parameter
weights are made publicly downloadable, with or without an open license
governing the weights themselves.

**"Parameters"** means the total count of trainable weights in a Trained
Model, counting every weight regardless of whether it is active for any
given inference pass — for a mixture-of-experts or other conditionally
activated architecture, the sum of all expert and parameter sets, not
merely the subset routed per token or per input.

**"Primary Training Data Sources"** means the principal datasets, corpora,
or data-collection sources that make up the majority (by token or sample
count) of a Trained Model's training data, identified well enough to give
their origin and general composition, without requiring the raw data to
be published.

**"Data Composition Summary"** means an approximate percentage breakdown of
the categories of data used to train a Trained Model — including the
approximate shares of scraped or crawled web data, human-authored or
human-curated data, and synthetic or model-generated data.

The definitions concerning Trained Models are used only by §8, which is
guidance and imposes no obligation.

## 2. Grant of Copyright License

Subject to the terms of this License, each Contributor grants You a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright
license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display,
publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Software and such
Derivative Works, in Source or Object form.

## 3. Grant of Patent License

Subject to the terms of this License, each Contributor grants You a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to
sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Software, where such
license applies only to patent claims licensable by that Contributor that
are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or in combination
with the Software. If You institute patent litigation against any entity
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
Software or a Contribution incorporated within the Software constitutes
direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Software shall terminate as of
the date such litigation is filed.

## 4. Redistribution

You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Software or Derivative
Works thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source
or Object form, provided that You meet the following conditions:

(a) You must give any other recipients of the Software or Derivative
    Works a copy of this License; and

(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating
    that You changed the files; and

(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You
    distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices
    from the Source form of the Software, excluding those notices that do
    not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works; and

(d) If the Software includes a "NOTICE" text file, then any Derivative
    Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the
    attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, in at least one
    of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part
    of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if
    provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display
    generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party
    notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for
    informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add
    Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You
    distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the
    Software, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be
    construed as modifying the License.

You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may
provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use,
reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such
Derivative Works as a whole — including a Fork — provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Software otherwise complies with the
conditions stated in this License. Unlike LLU-0.1, this License does not
require a Fork to keep this License.

## 5. Submission of Contributions

Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally
submitted for inclusion in the Software by You to the Licensor shall be
under the terms and conditions of this License, without any additional
terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall
supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement You may
have executed with the Licensor regarding such Contributions.

## 6. Trademarks and Naming

This License does not grant permission to use the trade names,
trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor (including
"HyperNix", "hyped", "hyped+", "hyped-pro", "hyped-plus", "HyperLink", and
associated logos), except as required for reasonable and customary use in
describing the origin of the Software and reproducing the content of the
NOTICE file.

A Fork or other Derivative Work may not describe itself as "HyperNix," or
use a name confusingly similar to it, in a way that implies official
origin, endorsement, or affiliation, unless clearly distinguished (e.g.
"MyProject, a fork of HyperNix").

## 7. No Endorsement

You may not state or imply that the Licensor or HyperNix contributors
sponsor, endorse, fund, or are affiliated with Your Derivative Work,
Trained Model, product, or service, beyond the factual attribution
required by §4, without separate written permission. Credit to the
project (e.g. "built with HyperNix") is welcome and is not endorsement.

## 8. Guidance for Trained Models (Non-Binding)

This section states the project's hopes. It creates no obligation, is not
a condition of this License, and does not restrict any use of the Software
or of a Trained Model.

(a) Openness. Trained Models produced using a Full Release Version of the
    Software are encouraged to be released as Open Source or Open Weight.

(b) Transparency for large models. A Trained Model with more than
    29,100,000,000 (29.1 billion) Parameters that is shared is encouraged
    to publish its Primary Training Data Sources when it has Weight-Level
    Sharing, and at least a Data Composition Summary when it has only
    Documentation-Level Sharing. Benchmark or leaderboard results alone
    are neither kind of Sharing.

(c) Accuracy. Descriptions of a Trained Model's provenance, training data,
    capabilities and limitations are encouraged to be accurate and not
    misleading.

## 9. Termination

Your rights under this License terminate automatically if You fail to
comply with any of its conditions and do not cure such breach within 30
days of becoming aware of it. Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, and 13 survive any
termination of this License. Termination does not affect the rights of any
third party who received the Software or a Derivative Work from You in
compliance with this License prior to such termination.

## 10. Disclaimer of Warranty

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the Licensor
provides the Software on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without
limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely
responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing
the Software and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of
permissions under this License — including risks associated with a Trained
Model's outputs, biases, or downstream use.

## 11. Limitation of Liability

In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including
negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law
(such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing,
shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct,
indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use
the Software (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other
commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor has been advised
of the possibility of such damages.

## 12. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability

While redistributing the Software or Derivative Works thereof, You may
choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty,
indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with
this License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on
Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any
other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold
each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims
asserted against, such Contributor by reason of Your accepting any such
warranty or additional liability.

## 13. Miscellaneous

(a) Severability. If any provision of this License is held to be
    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
    necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall
    remain in full force and effect.

(b) No Waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this
    License shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or
    any other provision.

(c) Versioning. This is version 1.1 of the HyperNix Open Source License.
    The Licensor may publish revised versions from time to time, each with
    a distinguishing version number. Software already distributed under
    HOS-1.0 continues to be governed by HOS-1.0 unless the Licensor
    explicitly relicenses that specific release under a newer version.

(d) Not Legal Advice. This License is a software license, not a legal
    services agreement. The Licensor recommends having it reviewed by
    qualified counsel before relying on it for a public release.

      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).

      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,

      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
      meet the following conditions:

      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and

      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,

          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed

      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

APPENDIX: How to Apply This Dual License
================================================================================

To apply the HyperNix Dual License to a work, attach the following notice,
replacing the bracketed fields with your own identifying information:

    Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]

    This software is available under your choice of:

      (A) the HyperNix Open Source License, Version 1.1 (HOS-1.1); or

      (B) the Apache License, Version 2.0 (Apache-2.0).

    You must elect one license and comply with its terms. You may not
    combine terms from both licenses.
