Ailoha Binary Distribution License

Ailoha is source-available, not open source. Official compiled packages may be used and distributed as app dependencies under the terms below. 

Ailoha Binary Distribution License
Version 1.0

Copyright (c) 2026 Ailoha contributors.
All rights reserved.

This is a custom source-available license. It is not an open source license.
It is intended for official Ailoha package consumption in applications while
reserving all other source and redistribution rights.

1. Definitions

"Licensor" means the copyright holders for Ailoha.

"Software" means the Ailoha source code, object code, packages, binaries,
documentation, samples, and related materials made available by Licensor.

"Official Package" means an unmodified package, archive, release asset, source
package, or binary artifact published by Licensor through the Ailoha repository,
GitHub Releases, GitHub Packages, NuGet, Maven, npm, pub.dev, Swift Package
Manager, or another Licensor-controlled distribution channel.

"Binary Form" means compiled object code, executable code, linked libraries,
transpiled, bundled, minified, or otherwise transformed app output, app bundles,
release archives, and other non-source forms of the Software.

"Source Form" means the human-readable source code form of the Software.

"Application" means an app, service, internal tool, or product that depends on
or incorporates an Official Package and whose primary purpose is not to provide,
host, distribute, sell, or replace Ailoha or an Ailoha package.

2. Official Package Use Grant

Subject to this license, Licensor grants you a worldwide, no-cost,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, reproduce, and distribute
Official Packages in Binary Form, including as part of your Applications, for
personal, internal, evaluation, commercial, and production use.

3. Build-Time Source Use

When an official package manager distributes an Official Package in Source Form,
such as Swift Package Manager or source-based JavaScript/Dart package managers,
you may download, copy, and compile the unmodified Source Form solely as needed
to create Binary Form for use under Section 2. This permission does not grant
any right to distribute Source Form or modified versions of the Software.

4. Source Evaluation

You may view and internally evaluate the Source Form for integration, debugging,
security review, and feedback. No other source-code rights are granted.

5. Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted by this license or by a separate written agreement
with Licensor, you may not:

- distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise provide the Software in
  Source Form;
- modify the Software, create derivative works of the Software, or distribute
  modified versions of the Software;
- publish, mirror, repackage, or operate a package, registry, feed, download
  service, hosted service, or API that provides the Software as a standalone
  product or package;
- remove, obscure, or alter copyright, license, trademark, or attribution
  notices in the Software;
- use Ailoha names, logos, or trademarks except to identify compatibility with
  the Software; or
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble Binary Form except to the extent
  applicable law prohibits this restriction.

6. Contributions and Feedback

If you intentionally submit code, documentation, feedback, suggestions, issues,
or other materials to Licensor for inclusion in or improvement of the Software,
you grant Licensor a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free,
sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise
exploit those materials in any form.

7. Third-Party Materials

Third-party dependencies and materials included with or used by the Software are
licensed by their respective owners under their own license terms. Those terms
continue to apply to the third-party materials.

8. Termination

This license terminates automatically if you violate its terms. Upon
termination, you must stop using and distributing the Software and destroy all
copies in your possession or control, except for copies already incorporated
into Applications distributed before termination.

9. Disclaimer

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR
