DynaPlex License Agreement
Version 1.0, August 2026

In short: DynaPlex is free of charge for everyone — research, teaching,
and commercial use alike, with no feature or usage limits. Once you have
obtained a version, your right to keep using that version never expires.
Models you write and results you produce with DynaPlex are entirely
yours. The engine's source code is not published, and you may not modify
or reverse engineer the software. As with virtually all software
licenses, DynaPlex is provided as is, without warranty or liability.
This summary is for orientation only; the terms below govern.

Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Willem van Jaarsveld. All rights reserved.

This license agreement (the "Agreement") governs the use of the DynaPlex
software in binary form, including the pre-built wheels distributed via
PyPI and the files they contain (the "Software"). By installing or using
the Software you agree to these terms.

1. License grant. The copyright holder grants you a worldwide,
   royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable (subject to
   Section 9) license to install and use the Software, for any purpose,
   including academic research, teaching, evaluation, and commercial
   use. There are no limits on the number of users, machines, cores, or
   problem sizes.

2. Redistribution. You may redistribute the Software free of charge, in
   unmodified form only, provided this Agreement is included with every
   copy. This expressly permits institutional package mirrors and
   caches, and archiving wheels alongside scientific publications for
   reproducibility.

3. Your content. Models, code, data, and other works you create for use
   with the Software, and any outputs you produce with it (including
   trained policies, simulation results, and publications), belong to
   you. This Agreement claims no rights over them.

4. Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted by Section 2 or by
   applicable law notwithstanding this limitation, you may not: (a)
   modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software; (b)
   reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software or
   otherwise attempt to derive its source code; (c) remove or alter any
   copyright or license notices in the Software; or (d) sublicense,
   rent, sell, or lease the Software.

5. Versions. Each version of the Software is licensed separately. This
   Agreement applies to the version you obtained it with. Future
   versions or editions of DynaPlex may be offered under different
   terms, but that never affects the rights this Agreement grants you
   for versions already obtained.

6. Third-party components. The Software bundles third-party open-source
   components (including LLVM). These components remain governed by
   their own licenses; the corresponding notices are included in the
   distribution as THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt.

7. No warranty. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY
   OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
   WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
   ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. You are solely responsible for
   validating the Software and its outputs — including trained
   policies, optimization results, and simulation results — before
   relying on them in any decision, publication, or deployment.

8. Limitation of liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR
   ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
   SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT — WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
   SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
   LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION —
   HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR
   OTHERWISE), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
   Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any liability that
   cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including
   liability arising from the copyright holder's own intent (opzet) or
   deliberate recklessness (bewuste roekeloosheid).

9. Termination. This Agreement terminates automatically if you
   materially breach it and do not cure the breach within 30 days of
   becoming aware of it. Sections 3, 6, 7, 8, and 10 survive
   termination.

10. Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the
    Netherlands.
