MYKOS FREE-USE LICENSE
Version 1.0 -- October 31, 2026
Licensor: MYKOL-DOT-COM
Permission requests: mgreen@mykol.com
License identifier: LicenseRef-MYKOS-Free-Use-1.0

1. Scope and separate third-party rights

"Covered Software" means the original MYKOS code and documentation that
MYKOL-DOT-COM has the authority to license and expressly distributes under the
final version of this agreement. It excludes third-party software, third-party
portions of modified files, separately licensed contributions, operating
systems, guest images, map data, logos, and other separately licensed assets.
An absence of a notice does not make third-party material Covered Software.

Third-party materials retain their own licenses. Those licenses control those
materials, including any rights to use, modify, redistribute, receive source
code, or operate a service. Nothing in this agreement adds restrictions to
rights under those licenses or mandatory law. If an applicable third-party
license grants broader rights or requires terms inconsistent with this
agreement for particular material, the third-party license controls that
material. This agreement grants no authority to relicense someone else's work.

2. Free personal and business use

Subject to this agreement, MYKOL-DOT-COM grants you a worldwide, nonexclusive,
royalty-free license to download, install, run, and make necessary copies of
the Covered Software for your personal use and your organization's internal
business operations. There is no license fee, deployment-count limit, or
mandatory paid subscription under this grant. Compliance preserves your rights
to the version you received; optional services are not required to retain them.

You may use MYKOS to operate your own business applications, websites, and
customer-facing products, including products you charge for, provided you do
not provide a Restricted MYKOS Service as defined in section 4. Earning revenue
from an application merely running on infrastructure managed with MYKOS does
not, by itself, require a separate MYKOS license.

You may retain backup and disaster-recovery copies. Employees and contractors
may operate and access copies on your behalf, solely for your permitted use,
under confidentiality and use obligations consistent with this agreement.
They receive no independent redistribution or hosted-service rights.

3. Source access and internal modification

When MYKOS source is supplied or made available, you may inspect, build, test,
and modify the Covered Software for your permitted use, including security
review, repair, and integration. You may share those internal modifications
with your employees and contractors for that purpose. Preserve applicable
copyright, license, attribution, and third-party notices.

This grant does not require public disclosure of your internal modifications,
customer applications, or business data. Separate third-party obligations
continue to apply. No automatic assignment of your original contributions to
MYKOL-DOT-COM is required by this agreement.

4. Activities requiring separate written permission

Except where a separate license, platform agreement, or mandatory law permits
otherwise, obtain MYKOL-DOT-COM's written permission before:

(a) selling, sublicensing, publicly redistributing, mirroring, or distributing
    copies of the Covered Software to unrelated third parties, whether
    modified or unmodified, standalone or bundled into another product; or
(b) providing a Restricted MYKOS Service for compensation.

A "Restricted MYKOS Service" is a service in which you provide unrelated
customers access to MYKOS's management interface, management API, or materially
equivalent management functions exposed through your own interface, to create,
administer, host, or manage their computing environments. Compensation includes
charging for that access as part of a bundled hosting or management offering.
Renaming or modifying MYKOS does not by itself change this definition.

The restriction does not prohibit ordinary customer access to your applications,
free demonstrations, or paid installation, training, troubleshooting, and
consulting on a customer's own licensed MYKOS deployment. Those activities must
not include unauthorized redistribution or a Restricted MYKOS Service.
Contractors may administer customer-owned deployments on the customer's behalf
under section 2. Link customers to an authorized MYKOS download when needed.

A public repository's applicable platform terms may grant viewing, forking,
or other platform-specific rights. This agreement does not revoke those rights
or separate rights already granted for previously released material.

5. Ownership, customer materials, and brand

MYKOL-DOT-COM and the respective other rights holders retain their rights in
their own materials. This is a license, not a transfer of ownership. Rights
not granted here or under another applicable license or law are reserved.

You retain your rights in your own applications, data, configurations, and
original modifications. Using MYKOS does not give MYKOL-DOT-COM ownership of,
or permission to access or transmit, those materials.

You may identify MYKOS factually and accurately. No right to claim endorsement,
use protected branding as your own product identity, or imply that you are an
authorized MYKOS reseller or hosting provider is granted. Third-party brands
remain subject to their owners' rights and applicable law.

6. Optional services and third-party products

Hosting, installation, migration, maintenance, training, support, and other
services offered by MYKOL-DOT-COM may have separate prices and written terms.
This free-use license includes no promised support hours, response times,
uptime, continued updates, or future features. Buying services does not alter
this license unless a separate written agreement expressly says so.

You are responsible for obtaining rights required for the operating systems,
applications, images, data, and third-party services you use. A MYKOS download
or build recipe supplies no Microsoft, Apple, Red Hat, or other vendor license,
and does not override vendor hardware, redistribution, or service restrictions.

7. Duration, changes, and transfer

The license to an identified version continues while you comply with its terms.
A later license change does not retroactively replace that version's grant.
Future releases may be offered under different terms, which must be disclosed
with those releases. This agreement does not promise future releases or access
to a download service indefinitely.

MYKOL-DOT-COM may transfer its licensor rights with the relevant business or
assets, subject to licenses already granted. You may transfer your license
with a transfer of all or substantially all of the business or assets using
it if the successor accepts these terms and you cease retaining independent
use rights under the transferred license. Standalone license resale is not
permitted by this clause. Third-party transfer rules remain separate.

8. Breach and termination

MYKOL-DOT-COM may terminate your Covered Software license if you materially
breach these terms and do not cure the breach within 30 days after written
notice describing it. On termination, stop exercising rights that depended
on this agreement and delete the relevant Covered Software copies, except
copies required for legal records. This does not require deleting customer
data, your independently owned materials, or third-party software you may
lawfully retain under its own terms. Applicable ownership, separate-license,
and disclaimer provisions continue to the extent relevant after termination.

9. Warranty and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Covered Software is
provided as available, without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, noninfringement, uninterrupted operation, or error-free
operation. Evaluate it and maintain suitable backups and recovery procedures.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MYKOL-DOT-COM and its
contributors are not liable under this agreement for indirect, consequential,
special, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost data.
Nothing excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Any separately signed service agreement controls the services it covers.

10. Application to releases and acceptance

This license applies only to an identified MYKOS release supplied with it by
MYKOL-DOT-COM. It does not retroactively replace an earlier or separate grant.
Before installing or using the Covered Software under this license, review
these terms. By exercising permissions granted by this license after receiving
them, you accept its conditions to the extent recognized by applicable law.
If you do not accept, do not exercise rights that depend on this grant; rights
under separate licenses or mandatory law remain unaffected.
