+# Disclaimer
+
+## Responsible use
+
+REA is built for lawful analysis: security research, malware and incident
+analysis, vulnerability research and coordinated disclosure, CTFs and education,
+interoperability, software preservation, and debugging or auditing software you
+own or are authorized to examine.
+
+The REA project does not support, and will not help with:
+
+- circumventing DRM, license checks, anti-cheat systems or other technical
+  protection measures;
+- developing game cheats or tampering with online services;
+- bypassing authentication, bot protection or access controls on systems you are
+  not authorized to test;
+- copying proprietary software or reproducing its protected code and assets;
+- evading the usage policies or safety measures of AI model providers;
+- reselling or sharing AI accounts or API access.
+
+You are responsible for obtaining any required authorization and for complying
+with applicable laws, license agreements and terms of service. Reverse
+engineering may be restricted in your jurisdiction or by the license of the
+software you analyze.
+
+Requests for help with the uses above will be closed without response in issues
+and discussions, and may result in removal from the REA community.
+
+## User responsibility
+
+Do not use REA for unauthorized access or exploitation, credential theft,
+malicious deployment of malware, unlawful collection or disclosure of data,
+unauthorized service disruption, or unlawful circumvention of access controls or
+licensing restrictions. Legitimate security research and malware analysis must
+remain within the rights and permissions applicable to the work.
+
+You are responsible for your use of REA, including commands, configurations,
+scripts, and actions you direct an AI agent to perform. Establish the legal
+authority and scope required for the targets, accounts, devices, software, data,
+and operations involved. Comply with applicable laws, contracts,
+intellectual-property rights, privacy obligations, and tool licenses. Public
+availability of software, possession of a file, or access to a debugging
+endpoint does not by itself establish permission for every operation.
+
+## Runtime, network, and device operations
+
+Some REA workflows execute or observe programs, attach to runtime or browser
+endpoints, capture network traffic, interact with applications, or operate on
+connected devices. These actions can affect application state, files, accounts,
+devices, and services. Authorization to inspect an artifact does not necessarily
+authorize execution, interception, device changes, or interaction with another
+party's system.
+
+Review the operations you request, including agent-generated plans and scripts,
+and use an appropriate environment for untrusted targets. You are responsible
+for protecting credentials, personal data, captured traffic, and investigation
+artifacts, and for obtaining any permission required to collect, retain,
+process, or share them. Local operation does not establish authorization or
+guarantee that executed targets and third-party tools have no external effects.
+
+## Analysis results and generated output
+
+Decompilation, reconstruction, heuristics, and AI-assisted analysis may be
+incomplete or incorrect. Results do not guarantee accuracy, completeness,
+security, compatibility, or legal compliance. Review the underlying evidence and
+verify consequential conclusions before relying on them.
+
+Obtaining source-like output or an analysis report does not grant rights to the
+original program, its data, or the generated output. Check the target's rights
+and the producing tool's applicable terms before publishing, sharing, or using
+results in another product or service.
+
+## Third-party tools and licenses
+
+Third-party components and analysis tools retain their own licenses, copyright
+notices, and usage conditions. Consult
+[Third-party notices](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md) for their roles, licensing
+records, and preserved upstream texts.
+
+You must legally obtain IDA Pro and Hex-Rays decompilers, Hopper, JEB, and any
+other proprietary tools, together with the rights required for your use. REA
+provides no commercial-tool license, key, or activation entitlement. Permitted
+trials and demos remain subject to vendor terms. An open-source bridge or
+accessible API does not grant additional user, machine, feature, automation,
+hosting, or output-sharing rights. Cracked copies, stolen keys, unauthorized key
+sharing, and bypassing license restrictions are not authorized by REA.
+
+## Disclaimer of warranty
+
+REA is provided **AS IS**, without express or implied warranties, including
+merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement, as set
+out in the [MIT License](LICENSE). You assume the risks of using the software
+and deciding whether it is suitable for your task. No project description,
+example, analysis result, or third-party integration guarantees a particular
+outcome or establishes that your intended use is lawful or safe.
+
+## Limitation of liability
+
+The warranty and liability provisions of the [MIT License](LICENSE) govern REA's
+authors and copyright holders, subject to applicable law. That license disclaims
+liability for claims, damages, and other liability arising from or in connection
+with the software or its use, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. This
+document does not expand those provisions or override rights and obligations
+that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
+
+## Disclaimer of endorsement
+
+References to third-party projects, contributors, products, services, and
+trademarks identify their work and REA's integrations. Credits and thanks do not
+imply affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement by the named parties,
+including the National Security Agency and commercial tool vendors.
+Redistribution, bundling, or hosting by a third party does not by itself imply
+affiliation with or endorsement by the REA project.
+
+## Relationship to software licenses
+
+This document explains REA's intended use, user responsibilities, and community
+support boundaries. It does not amend the MIT license, impose additional
+copyright-license conditions, replace upstream licenses, or grant rights to
+third-party software or targets. The applicable software licenses and agreements
+retain their own terms.
+
+## Versions, distribution channels, and platforms
+
+The project's position on lawful use and non-endorsement of illegal or
+unauthorized activity covers all REA versions, distribution forms, and
+platforms. This includes historical releases and Git commits, npm packages,
+bundled or separately distributed REA skills, source checkouts, release
+archives, and redistributed copies, regardless of installation method, agent
+client, operating system, or platform. Using an older version or another
+distribution channel does not imply project endorsement or remove obligations
+under applicable law or to respect third-party rights.
+
+Each copy remains subject to the licenses accompanying that copy. This statement
+does not retroactively amend existing license grants, add license conditions, or
+expand historical warranty or liability exclusions.

+Two locked runtime releases, [`clean-git-ref@2.0.1`](https://github.com/TheSavior/clean-git-ref/tree/bf3c8afc8032bcdc6a53634c18b601dc6df478fb) (declared Apache-2.0) and
+[`minimisted@2.0.1`](https://github.com/kt3k/minimisted/tree/95fdfb8d6efb9546c1117854fe3a58105f6332ce) (declared MIT), omit a full license/copyright document in their
+published archives and inspected upstream release sources. Their runtime notice
+entries preserve the declared license and author metadata and include a clearly
+labeled standard license text. These are documented upstream notice gaps, not
+recovered copyright notices or a claim that attribution has been fully verified.
+
+The optional `frida@17.23.2` npm archive and tagged Node binding source also
+omit a standalone license/copyright document. Its declared
+`LGPL-2.0 WITH WxWindows-exception-3.1` license is recorded with unchanged
+[Frida licensing text](licenses/frida-17.23.2-COPYING.txt) and the
+[GNU Library GPL v2](licenses/LGPL-2.0.txt). These are licensing supplements,
+not recovered Node binding or prebuild-component copyright notices.

+## Open-source engine credits and licenses
+
+We thank the maintainers and contributors of the projects below. Their
+decompilers, binary-analysis engines, debuggers, parsers, and capture tools
+provide capabilities used through REA's integrations. Each row identifies the
+upstream project, its own license, and its role in REA. In particular, JADX
+provides the Android decompiler, while jadx-headless-mcp provides the separate
+headless integration used by REA; both projects deserve credit.
+
+These acknowledgments are voluntary thanks. Required upstream copyright and
+NOTICE texts remain in their original form and are not replaced by this
+summary. Credits do not imply endorsement or change any license.
+
+REA's adapters do not grant, replace, or waive these licenses. The upstream
+executables and their dependency graphs are supplied separately. Git submodules
+pin inspection sources; they are not included in the npm package.

+Ghidra's original notice credits software developed at the National Security
+Agency. It explains that US-government-created portions are not subject to US
+copyright protection, while other portions retain their authors' rights. Its
+modules include additional third-party licenses, and standalone programs under
+`GPL/` have GPLv3 terms. The three retained top-level documents do not replace
+the module notices and license directories in a complete Ghidra distribution.
+REA is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSA.
+
+## Commercial tools and bridges
+
+**You must legally obtain the tools and the rights needed for your use.** REA
+does not include an IDA Pro, Hex-Rays decompiler, Hopper, or JEB license, license
+key, or activation entitlement. A permitted trial/demo may be used only within
+its official terms. Cracked copies, stolen keys, unauthorized sharing, and
+bypassing activation or license limits are not authorized by REA.

+| IDA Pro and Hex-Rays decompilers | Proprietary Hex-Rays software governed by the [EULA](https://hex-rays.com/eula), purchase agreement, and applicable license scheme. Obtain rights for the required product, user, machine, decompiler, and automation interfaces. Availability of an API or a bridge does not grant hosting, service, or additional-user rights.                                                                                                                           |
+| ida-pro-mcp                      | The bridge's [MIT license](https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/blob/main/LICENSE) belongs to Duncan Ogilvie. It licenses the bridge code, not IDA or Hex-Rays products. Its [README](https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp#prerequisites) requires IDA Pro and explicitly states that IDA Free is unsupported. Follow the prerequisites for the version you actually install. The bridge is separately supplied, not bundled by REA.                 |
+| Hopper Disassembler              | Proprietary Cryptic Apps software under its [license agreement](https://www.hopperapp.com/license_agreement.html). Personal and computer licenses have different permitted-user and installation rules; an official evaluation trial is available. REA setup may obtain the official installer after approval, but this grants no paid license or activation entitlement.                                                                                  |
+| JEB                              | Proprietary PNF Software product under its [EULA](https://www.pnfsoftware.com/jeb/LICENSE.TXT) and edition-specific agreement. Check user/seat/server rights and whether your edition permits automation, backend/service integration, and disclosure of generated output. The published EULA restricts public or third-party disclosure of decompiled code, reconstructed artifacts, and analysis reports unless expressly permitted by the license type. |
+
+The vendor's applicable agreement controls. These summaries do not interpret
+your individual contract or expand the rights it grants. Verify permissions
+before publishing analysis output, sharing tool access, or operating a service.

+
+## Runtimes, development tooling, and fixtures
+
+REA uses a caller-supplied Node.js runtime ([MIT and component notices](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/LICENSE)).
+Optional workflows may also use Python ([PSF and component licenses](https://docs.python.org/3/license.html)),
+OpenJDK ([GPLv2 with Classpath Exception and component notices](https://openjdk.org/legal/)),
+Electron ([MIT and component notices](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/LICENSE)),
+or a Chromium-based browser ([BSD-3-Clause and third-party licenses](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/LICENSE)).
+These external installations are not licensed or bundled by REA's MIT license.
+
+Development, test, and website npm packages are included in the locked inventory.
+GitHub Actions, operating-system utilities, downloaded verification fixtures,
+and their runtimes retain the terms supplied by their publishers. Fixture
+identities and provenance are recorded under `scripts/fixtures/` and the
+existing `third_party/` records; downloaded executable fixtures are not tracked
+or included in the npm package. This notice does not claim to inventory every
+dependency of a caller's operating system, agent, or separately installed tool.
+
+## Maintaining and redistributing notices
+
+Refresh the dependency inventory and runtime notice collection when the lockfile
+changes. Review the actual versions and distributed contents, retain the
+upstream license and copyright texts, and account for optional platform
+packages. See [licenses/README.md](licenses/README.md) for source provenance,
+collection scope, and known upstream notice gaps.
+
+The npm package includes this document, the `licenses/` directory, and the
+existing redistributed license records under `third_party/`. If you additionally
+bundle an external engine or modify upstream code, review that actual
+distribution and retain its full applicable licenses, copyright notices,
+NOTICE files, modification notices, and source obligations. REA's inventory is
+not a substitute for those obligations.
