    • "Software" means the software product, including its source code, object code, structure, logic, and documentation, provided under this License.
    • "Licensor" means the original creator or legal owner of the Software, as identified in the copyright notice.
    • "User" means any individual or entity who accesses or uses the Software under the terms of this License.
    • "Inspiration" means conceptual influence derived from the visible or described behavior or structure of the Software, without reproducing, reusing, or closely replicating the code, logic, architecture, or algorithms.
    • "Derivative Work" means any work based upon or incorporating the Software or any part thereof, including translations, adaptations, abridgments, modifications, or closely mimicked implementations.
  2. License Grant

    Subject to the terms of this License, the Licensor grants the User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

    • Access and study the Software solely for the purpose of conceptual inspiration.
    • Create entirely original software based on independent implementation, inspired by high-level ideas observed in the Software.
  3. Restrictions

    Except as expressly permitted under Section 2, the User shall not:

    • Copy, reuse, or repurpose any part of the Software's source code, object code, architecture, or internal logic, whether verbatim or modified.
    • Create any Derivative Work that uses substantial portions of the Software's structure, logic flow, user interface, file structure, or design architecture, even if the exact code is not copied.
    • Use the Software or any part thereof, directly or indirectly, for personal, educational, non-commercial, or commercial purposes.
    • Distribute, sublicense, share, rent, lease, host, or otherwise make the Software or derivative versions available to any third party.
    • Use automated tools (e.g., AI models or code analysis tools) to attempt to replicate the Software in a manner that bypasses the spirit or letter of this License.
  4. Ownership and Intellectual Property

    The Software is and shall remain the sole property of the Licensor. Nothing in this License shall be construed as transferring any intellectual property rights to the User, except for the limited right to use as set forth in Section 2.

    The Licensor reserves all rights not expressly granted herein.

  5. No Warranty and Limitation of Liability

    THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

    IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE.

  6. Termination

    This License is effective until terminated. The Licensor may terminate this License at any time if the User breaches any term herein. Upon termination, the User must:

    • Immediately cease all use and access of the Software.
    • Permanently destroy all copies of the Software in any form.

    Termination is without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the Licensor at law or in equity.

  7. General Provisions
    • Entire Agreement: This License constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter.
    • Amendments: The Licensor may update this License at any time. Continued use of the Software after such update constitutes acceptance.
    • Severability: If any provision of this License is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force.
    • Waiver: The failure of the Licensor to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of its rights under this License.
