====================================
|
|
|
|
Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Daniel Hammer (the "MontaukOS Project").
|
|
All rights reserved.
|
|
|
|
This document governs the use of MontaukOS, including its kernel, userspace
|
|
programs, libraries, bootable images, documentation, fonts, artwork, and all
|
|
accompanying materials (collectively, the "Software"). The Software is the
|
|
proprietary property of the MontaukOS Project. By downloading, installing,
|
|
copying, running, or otherwise using the Software, you ("you" or "Licensee")
|
|
agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree, you may
|
|
not use the Software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Ownership
|
|
------------
|
|
The Software is licensed, not sold. The MontaukOS Project retains all right,
|
|
title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property
|
|
rights therein. No ownership rights are transferred to you under this Agreement.
|
|
All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by the MontaukOS Project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Grant of License
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, the MontaukOS Project
|
|
grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable,
|
|
revocable license to install and run unmodified copies of the Software on devices
|
|
you own or control, solely for your own internal evaluation and personal use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Restrictions
|
|
---------------
|
|
Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or required by
|
|
applicable law that cannot be waived, you may NOT:
|
|
|
|
(a) copy, reproduce, or distribute the Software, in whole or in part, to any
|
|
third party;
|
|
|
|
(b) sell, rent, lease, lend, host, sublicense, or otherwise make the Software
|
|
available to any third party, whether for a fee or free of charge;
|
|
|
|
(c) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software;
|
|
|
|
(d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive
|
|
the source code, structure, or underlying ideas of any binary form of the
|
|
Software, except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by
|
|
applicable law;
|
|
|
|
(e) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
|
|
notices contained in or on the Software;
|
|
|
|
(f) use the Software to develop a competing product, or for any unlawful
|
|
purpose; or
|
|
|
|
(g) circumvent or disable any license-enforcement, security, or access-control
|
|
mechanism of the Software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Third-Party Components
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
The Software incorporates or is distributed alongside certain third-party
|
|
components that remain the property of their respective owners and are licensed
|
|
under their own terms. These components include, without limitation, the Limine
|
|
bootloader, BearSSL, stb_image, and the DOOM engine (via doomgeneric). Nothing in
|
|
this Agreement modifies, supersedes, or limits the license terms applicable to
|
|
such third-party components. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement
|
|
and a third-party license with respect to that third-party component, the
|
|
third-party license controls for that component only. The applicable copyright
|
|
notices and license texts for these components are set out in the
|
|
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file that accompanies the Software and are incorporated
|
|
herein by reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Feedback
|
|
-----------
|
|
If you provide the MontaukOS Project with any suggestions, ideas, or other
|
|
feedback regarding the Software ("Feedback"), you grant the MontaukOS Project a
|
|
perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and incorporate
|
|
such Feedback for any purpose, without obligation or attribution to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Term and Termination
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically,
|
|
without notice, if you breach any of its terms. The MontaukOS Project may also
|
|
terminate this Agreement at any time at its sole discretion. Upon termination,
|
|
you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in your possession
|
|
or control. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 survive termination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. No Warranty
|
|
--------------
|
|
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
|
|
KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
|
|
THE MONTAUKOS PROJECT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED,
|
|
ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
|
|
MONTAUKOS IS EXPERIMENTAL, HOBBYIST SYSTEM SOFTWARE THAT OPERATES AT A LOW LEVEL
|
|
AND MAY CAUSE LOSS OF DATA OR DAMAGE TO HARDWARE; YOU USE IT ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN
|
|
RISK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Limitation of Liability
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
|
|
MONTAUKOS PROJECT OR ITS AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
|
|
CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR
|
|
GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE
|
|
SOFTWARE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF
|
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE
|
|
MONTAUKOS PROJECT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF
|
|
ANY, FOR THE SOFTWARE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Export and Compliance
|
|
------------------------
|
|
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including
|
|
applicable export-control and sanctions laws, in your use of the Software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. General
|
|
-----------
|
|
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the MontaukOS
|
|
Project regarding the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
|
|
understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions
|
|
will remain in full force and effect. The failure to enforce any provision is not
|
|
a waiver of the right to do so later. You may not assign or transfer this
|
|
Agreement without the prior written consent of the MontaukOS Project; any
|
|
attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.
