+ NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
7
+
8
+ This is a SOURCE-AVAILABLE license, not an OSI-approved open source license.
9
+ Key points, in plain language:
10
+
11
+ - ArsChitectura SAS may REVOKE this license AT ANY TIME, for any reason or
12
+ no reason, in its sole discretion, by notice delivered by any means
13
+ reasonably calculated to apprise you of the Revocation, including
14
+ (without limitation) email, postal mail, courier, huissier or
15
+ process-server service, any direct or indirect communication channel,
16
+ or public announcement on Licensor's organization website (currently
17
+ arschitectura.com, or any successor domain or URL) or on the Software's
18
+ project homepage (currently the Canonical Repository on GitHub, or any
19
+ successor URL or platform). Licensee shall consult Licensor's
20
+ organization website and the Software's project homepage at least once
21
+ every ninety (90) days. If revoked, you must stop using the Software
22
+ and every Derivative Work within thirty (30) days (longer in some
23
+ cases; see Section 13).
24
+ - You MAY NOT use, train, feed, ingest, or inspire any AI, ML, or automated
25
+ system with the Software or with any Derivative Work, in any form. This
26
+ includes pasting source into AI chats, asking an AI to explain or
27
+ rewrite the Software, or running automated crawlers over the Software.
28
+ A NARROW EXCEPTION (Section 7.7) permits using AI coding assistants to
29
+ generate your own client code that calls Sigma's public API, when you
30
+ submit only the public API surface and the README usage examples.
31
+ - You MUST preserve attribution (copyright notice, license file, short-form
32
+ Notice to Recipients) on every copy and every Derivative Work, and
33
+ surface the license to every downstream recipient.
34
+ - Modification of the Software is permitted only as preparation for a
35
+ Contribution to be merged into the Canonical Repository, on the terms
36
+ of Section 2(b). A working copy modified for any other purpose is an
37
+ unauthorized Derivative Work (Section 7.9). See CONTRIBUTING.md for
38
+ the lifecycle.
39
+ - French law governs. Paris courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
40
+ - NO WARRANTY. Licensor's liability is excluded in full, including
41
+ against class, mass, and collective actions (Section 12). No support,
42
+ no maintenance, no updates are owed.
43
+ - A paid non-revocable commercial license is available on request
44
+ (Section 22).
45
+ - Legal counsel is recommended before production reliance.
46
+
47
+ If any of these terms is unacceptable, DO NOT USE the Software.

+ 1. Definitions
51
+
52
+ "Software" means the Sigma library in any form, including source code, object
53
+ code, bytecode (.pyc, .pyo), compiled native artefacts (.so, .pyd, .dll,

+ .dylib), transpiled, obfuscated, minified, statically linked, or dynamically
55
+ loaded; reproduced in whole or in substantial part within the meaning of
56
+ article L122-4 of the French Code de la propriete intellectuelle ("CPI");
57
+ whether or not bearing the name "Sigma" or "sigma".
58
+
59
+ "Canonical Repository" means the source repository identified by the
60
+ [project.urls].Repository entry in pyproject.toml of the latest release, or,
61
+ if that entry is absent, the repository from which the Licensee obtained its
62
+ copy.
63
+
64
+ "Protected Expression" means, collectively: (a) the literal source and object
65
+ code of the Software; (b) the API surface, including function and method
66
+ signatures, class hierarchies, parameter names and orders, return and
67
+ exception types, and default values; (c) the specific structure, sequence,
68
+ and organization of the Software; (d) the documentation, docstrings, and
69
+ examples distributed with the Software; (e) any non-literal structure; and
70
+ (f) any adaptation, translation (including cross-language port),
71
+ transformation, or re-expression of any of the foregoing, in whole or in
72
+ substantial part. Unprotectable ideas, algorithms, procedures, processes,
73
+ systems, and methods of operation are not Protected Expression.
74
+
75
+ "Derivative Work" means any work falling within articles L113-2
76
+ (definitions of oeuvre composite, oeuvre de collaboration, oeuvre
77
+ collective), L113-4 (ownership of oeuvre composite), or L122-4
78
+ (reproduction in whole or substantial part) of the French Code de la
79
+ propriete intellectuelle ("CPI"), or within the definition of
80
+ "derivative work" under 17 U.S.C. section 101, and any work of a
81
+ kind analogous under the applicable national law, including without
82
+ limitation: (a) modifications, patches, adaptations,
83
+ and forks of the Software; (b) software that imports, invokes, links to
84
+ (statically or dynamically), embeds, or depends upon the Software at build
85
+ time or runtime; (c) software whose design, architecture, algorithm
86
+ selection, or API surface was informed by access to the Software or to
87
+ Software documentation; (d) translations, ports, and re-expressions of the
88
+ Software in any programming language, by any means (human, automated, or
89
+ AI-assisted); (e) outputs of any automated system that ingested, processed,
90
+ was trained, fine-tuned, prompted, or retrieval-augmented on any portion of
91
+ the Software (directly or indirectly, in whole or in part), whether or not
92
+ such ingestion was authorized, and whether or not such output is itself
93
+ copyrightable, provided that an Integration Output as defined in
94
+ Section 7.7 is not a Derivative Work to the extent it so qualifies;
95
+ (f) re-implementations by any person or team in which any participant
96
+ had prior access to the Software (presumption of derivation reversible
97
+ only by clear and convincing evidence, see Section 9.1); and
98
+ (g) combinations and aggregations containing the Software, regardless of
99
+ whether the parties would otherwise characterize the relationship as
100
+ "aggregation" rather than "derivation".
101
+
102
+ "Contribution" means any patch, modification, addition, deletion, or
103
+ other proposed change to the Software that Licensee submits to Licensor
104
+ in the form of a Pull Request opened against the Canonical Repository,
105
+ conforming to the procedural requirements set forth in CONTRIBUTING.md.
106
+ A patch submitted to Licensor through any other disclosed Licensor-
107
+ facing channel, including without limitation a patch attached to an
108
+ issue or comment on the Canonical Repository or a CLA-signed diff sent
109
+ through any contact channel disclosed by Licensor from time to time, is
110
+ deemed a Contribution from the moment of its submission; advancement to
111
+ a Pull Request opened against the Canonical Repository is a
112
+ precondition to that Contribution's becoming a Merged Contribution but
113
+ not to its qualifying as a Pending Contribution.
114
+
115
+ "Pending Contribution" means a Contribution that (i) has been submitted
116
+ to Licensor as set forth in the definition of Contribution, (ii) has
117
+ not yet become a Merged Contribution or a Rejected Contribution, and
118
+ (iii) remains under review or otherwise under active consideration by
119
+ Licensor under the timelines and criteria set forth in CONTRIBUTING.md.
120
+
121
+ "Merged Contribution" means a Contribution whose substantive content
122
+ has been merged into the active development branch of the Canonical
123
+ Repository through the Pull Request process required by CONTRIBUTING.md.
124
+
125
+ "Rejected Contribution" means a Contribution that has been (i) closed
126
+ without merge, (ii) withdrawn by the contributor, (iii) declined by
127
+ Licensor, (iv) abandoned by the contributor under the inactivity
128
+ criteria set forth in CONTRIBUTING.md, or (v) otherwise terminated
129
+ without becoming a Merged Contribution.
130
+
131
+ "AI System" means any artificial intelligence system, machine learning
132
+ model, large language model, neural network, foundation model,
133
+ general-purpose AI model within the meaning of EU Regulation 2024/1689
134
+ art. 3(63) (AI Act), code-completion assistant, automated refactoring
135
+ tool, retrieval-augmented system, AI agent, or analogous automated
136
+ system, whether commercial or non-commercial, hosted or on-device.
137
+
138
+ "Distribution" means any act by which the Software or a Derivative Work is
139
+ made available, communicated, transmitted, conveyed, dispatched, published,
140
+ delivered, mirrored, cached, embedded, bundled, linked, streamed, screened,
141
+ narrated, printed, photographed, or otherwise caused to be perceivable,
142
+ executable, or extractable by any person other than the Licensee itself,
143
+ whether intentional or incidental, automated or manual, gratuitous or for
144
+ consideration. Schedule 1 enumerates non-exhaustively the vectors within
145
+ "Distribution".
146
+
147
+ "Access Grant" means any act, omission, or configuration by which a third
148
+ party is placed in a position to invoke, exercise, observe, inspect, or
149
+ benefit from the functionality of the Software or a Derivative Work, even
150
+ when no copy leaves Licensee's infrastructure. Access Grant includes
151
+ software-as-a-service exposure, remote procedure call, shared notebook,
152
+ screen sharing, terminal sharing, and rendered outputs that expose behavior
153
+ sufficient to reconstruct the Software.
154
+
155
+ "Downstream Recipient" means any person or entity that receives, accesses,
156
+ or benefits from a Distribution or an Access Grant, directly or through any
157
+ chain of intermediaries, voluntary or involuntary.
158
+
159
+ "Licensee" means any natural or legal person who downloads, installs,
160
+ imports, executes, compiles, copies, modifies, redistributes, or otherwise
161
+ uses the Software, or who creates, distributes, or uses a Derivative Work,
162
+ regardless of the method of acquisition and regardless of whether acceptance
163
+ was affirmatively manifested. Use of the Software constitutes Licensee
164
+ status and acceptance of this License. Licensee is responsible for the acts
165
+ and omissions of its employees, contractors, agents, and subcontractors
166
+ given access to the Software.
167
+
168
+ "Revocation" means the termination of this License by Licensor pursuant to
169
+ Section 4, effective upon delivery of notice per the Effectiveness clause
170
+ of Section 4.
171
+
172
+ "Attribution Notices" means (a) the copyright line above, (b) the SPDX
173
+ identifier "LicenseRef-ArsChitectura-Sigma", and (c) a complete unmodified
174
+ copy of this License text, reproduced at every surface required by
175
+ Section 5.
176
+
177
+ "Licensor" means ArsChitectura SAS, a French societe par actions simplifiee.
178
+
179
+ 2. Grant of License and Acceptance
180
+
181
+ Subject to the terms of this License, Licensor grants to Licensee a
182
+ non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable-at-will,
183
+ non-sublicensable license to:
184
+
185
+ (a) install, run, and use the Software for any lawful purpose, including
186
+ commercial, operational, and production purposes;
187
+ (b) modify a working copy of the Software (the "Working Copy") solely
188
+ for the purpose of preparing a Contribution and submitting it
189
+ through the procedure in CONTRIBUTING.md, on the terms set forth in
190
+ the Permitted-Contribution Lifecycle below. Any modification of the
191
+ Software, in any form, that is not tied to a Pending Contribution
192
+ or a Merged Contribution under this Section 2(b) is an unauthorized
193
+ Derivative Work and is prohibited under Section 7.9; and
194
+ (c) Distribute and provide Access Grants of the Software. Distribution
195
+ of a Derivative Work, and the provision of an Access Grant whose
196
+ subject is a Derivative Work (including without limitation any
197
+ Pending Contribution or any Working Copy under (b) above), is not
198
+ authorized,
199
+
200
+ provided at all times that (i) Attribution Notices are preserved verbatim on
201
+ every copy, Derivative Work, and user-facing surface; (ii) the License is
202
+ surfaced to every Downstream Recipient in accordance with Section 5; and
203
+ (iii) every Downstream Recipient is bound directly to Licensor under
204
+ Section 3, not by sublicense from Licensee.
205
+
206
+ Acceptance is formed by Licensee's first act of use, reproduction,
207
+ modification, Distribution, or Access Grant. No runtime registration,
208
+ click-through, or phone-home is required; the License text is binding
209
+ without registration, and is reproduced in full in the LICENSE.txt file at
210
+ the root of every Distribution.
211
+
212
+ Permitted-Contribution Lifecycle. The right granted under Section 2(b)
213
+ is conditioned on, and co-terminous with, the lifecycle of the
214
+ underlying Contribution, as follows:
215
+
216
+ (i) Pending Contribution. While a Contribution remains a Pending
217
+ Contribution, Licensee may execute and modify the Working Copy
218
+ that embodies the Contribution for the purpose of testing,
219
+ debugging, and iterating on the Contribution itself. Licensee may
220
+ additionally run that Working Copy in a private staging
221
+ environment to validate the Contribution against realistic data,
222
+ provided that the environment is accessible exclusively to
223
+ Licensee's own personnel and contractors who are bound to
224
+ confidentiality and to the terms of this License. No calendar
225
+ limit is imposed by this License on the duration of subsection (i)
226
+ usage other than the active-review window of the underlying
227
+ Pending Contribution itself. The Working Copy is not Software for
228
+ any other purpose: it may not be used in production, used to
229
+ produce work product for any third party, Distributed, or made the
230
+ subject of an Access Grant. The rights under this subsection (i)
231
+ endure only while the Contribution remains Pending; they terminate
232
+ immediately upon the Contribution becoming a Merged Contribution
233
+ or a Rejected Contribution.
234
+
235
+ (ii) Merged Contribution. Upon a Contribution becoming a Merged
236
+ Contribution, the merged code becomes part of the Software in
237
+ the next release of the Canonical Repository and is from that
238
+ moment governed by this License like any other part of the
239
+ Software. Licensee may use the merged code as Software, without
240
+ any residual obligation specific to its contribution origin.
241
+
242
+ (iii) Rejected Contribution. Upon a Contribution becoming a Rejected
243
+ Contribution, Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from the
244
+ date of Rejection (subject to Section 13 notice scaling for
245
+ established Licensees): (1) cease all use of the Working Copy
246
+ and of any modification, port, paraphrase, or other work derived
247
+ from it; (2) destroy every copy of the Working Copy and of every
248
+ Derivative Work derived from the Working Copy in Licensee's
249
+ possession or control, subject to the non-waivable backup
250
+ carve-out of Section 11; and (3) not derive any further work
251
+ from the Working Copy. From the effective date of Rejection, the
252
+ Working Copy is treated for all purposes of this License as an
253
+ unauthorized Derivative Work and falls fully within the
254
+ prohibition of Section 7.9 and the Derivative-Work prohibition
255
+ of Section 7.2.
256
+
257
+ (iv) Subsequent Reversal of a Merger. If a Merged Contribution is
258
+ later reverted upstream by Licensor, the right granted under
259
+ subsection (ii) with respect to the reverted code terminates
260
+ prospectively from the date of the revert, and the cease-use,
261
+ destruction, and prohibition obligations under subsection (iii)
262
+ apply mutatis mutandis to the reverted code, subject to the same
263
+ thirty (30)-day window and the same Section 13 notice scaling.
264
+
265
+ Co-Terminous Clause. Every right granted in this Section 2 with respect to
266
+ a Derivative Work is expressly conditioned upon, and co-terminous with, the
267
+ continued effectiveness of the License with respect to the underlying
268
+ Software. No right in any Derivative Work survives Revocation of the
269
+ License to the underlying Software. Licensee's own original contribution to
270
+ a Derivative Work, to the extent independently copyrightable, is retained
271
+ by Licensee subject to this License in its entirety and subject to the
272
+ practical fact that Licensee cannot exploit that contribution without also
273
+ exploiting copyrighted portions of the Software for which rights have been
274
+ Revoked.
275
+
276
+ 3. Direct License to Downstream Recipients (Stipulation pour autrui)
277
+
278
+ Every Distribution and every Access Grant is made on behalf of Licensor,
279
+ solely as a permitted act under this License, and is never a sublicense.
280
+ Licensee has no power to sublicense and makes no promises to any Downstream
281
+ Recipient on Licensor's behalf.
282
+
283
+ Each Downstream Recipient receives a direct license from Licensor on the
284
+ terms of this License as reproduced in the LICENSE.txt file of the
285
+ distributed copy, formed as a stipulation pour autrui under article 1205
286
+ of the French Code civil (accepted tacitly by the Downstream Recipient's
287
+ first act of use), or in the alternative as an offre a personne
288
+ indeterminee accepted by execution under article 1114 Code civil.
289
+
290
+ Distributors shall:
291
+
292
+ (a) reproduce the full LICENSE.txt at the canonical path in every
293
+ distributed copy;
294
+ (b) preserve all Attribution Notices verbatim;
295
+ (c) surface the Notice to Recipients (Schedule 2) in accordance with
296
+ Section 5;
297
+ (d) not purport to grant Downstream Recipients weaker, stronger, or
298
+ inconsistent terms; and
299
+ (e) not bind Downstream Recipients to any side agreement conferring rights
300
+ that survive Revocation or that are inconsistent with Sections 3, 4,
301
+ or 5.
302
+
303
+ 4. At-Will Revocation - Master Clause
304
+
305
+ LICENSOR MAY EXERCISE REVOCATION AT ANY TIME, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITH
306
+ RESPECT TO ANY LICENSEE, CLASS OF LICENSEES, DERIVATIVE WORK, OR
307
+ DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL, FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE
308
+ DISCRETION. NO CAUSE, JUSTIFICATION, BREACH, RISK, PRIOR NOTICE, OR
309
+ PREDICATE CONDITION IS REQUIRED. REVOCATION IS A SUBSTANTIVE RIGHT OF
310
+ LICENSOR, NOT A REMEDY.
311
+
312
+ Effectiveness. Revocation takes effect upon Licensor's dispatch,
313
+ transmission, publication, or other emission of a notice by any means
314
+ reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise the
315
+ Licensee of the Revocation, in Licensor's sole discretion. Without
316
+ limiting the foregoing, such means include, by way of illustration and
317
+ not limitation:
318
+
319
+ (a) electronic mail, SMS, MMS, RCS, fax, in-app message, push
320
+ notification, instant message, social-media direct message, voice
321
+ message, or any other electronic, digital, or telecommunications
322
+ channel, now existing or hereafter devised, addressed to any
323
+ electronic identifier associated with the Licensee, whether
324
+ obtained from the Licensee, from public records (including
325
+ without limitation WHOIS, RCS / INPI / Infogreffe / BODACC,
326
+ Companies House, SEC EDGAR, or any equivalent registry in any
327
+ jurisdiction), from the Licensee's own publications or websites,
328
+ from third parties, or from any other source;
329
+
330
+ (b) postal mail, registered mail with or without acknowledgement of
331
+ receipt (including lettre recommandee avec accuse de reception),
332
+ courier, express courier, hand delivery, service by a French
333
+ commissaire de justice or huissier de justice, service by any
334
+ equivalent process server, judicial officer, or bailiff in any
335
+ jurisdiction, service under the Hague Service Convention or any
336
+ other applicable international instrument, or delivery by any
337
+ other physical means, to any physical address associated with the
338
+ Licensee from any source described in (a);
339
+
340
+ (c) any direct or indirect communication channel, account, handle, or
341
+ identifier publicly or privately associated with the Licensee,
342
+ whether or not the Licensee has previously used that channel to
343
+ correspond with Licensor;
344
+
345
+ (d) public announcement on either or both of the following two
346
+ surfaces, and only on these two surfaces:
347
+
348
+ (i) Licensor's principal organization website, currently
349
+ operated under the arschitectura.com domain, together with
350
+ any successor domain or URL operated by Licensor, by
351
+ Licensor's successor in interest, or by any acquiring or
352
+ merging entity following an acquisition, merger,
353
+ rebranding, restructuring, change of control, or any other
354
+ corporate event affecting Licensor; and
355
+
356
+ (ii) the Software's official project homepage on its then-
357
+ current hosting platform, currently the Canonical
358
+ Repository at https://github.com/arschitectura/sigma on
359
+ GitHub, together with any successor URL on that platform
360
+ and any successor or replacement hosting platform to which
361
+ the project migrates; for purposes of this channel "the
362
+ project homepage" includes any surface of that homepage,
363
+ such as release notes, tags, advisories, discussions, wiki,
364
+ README, pinned items, files, or any other feature now
365
+ existing or hereafter devised on the then-current hosting
366
+ platform.
367
+
368
+ Licensor may use channel (d) alone, or in combination with any other
369
+ channel, for any Revocation including individual Revocation,
370
+ regardless of whether Licensor has a practicable individual channel
371
+ to the Licensee. Notice is deemed effective at the earliest of (i)
372
+ the moment of dispatch, transmission, publication, or emission; (ii)
373
+ any earlier moment of actual receipt or awareness that Licensor can
374
+ prove; or (iii) any later moment that Licensor expressly designates
375
+ in the notice. Where multiple channels are used, Licensor may elect
376
+ which effective date governs. The enumeration in (a) through (d) is
377
+ illustrative and shall not be construed under the eiusdem generis
378
+ canon or any analogous rule to limit the general "reasonably
379
+ calculated" standard, and the parties expressly agree that articles
380
+ 1188 and 1190 of the Code civil shall be applied so as to give the
381
+ broadest reasonable scope to Licensor's choice of means consistent
382
+ with article 1104.
383
+
384
+ Licensee's duty to check. Licensee shall, at intervals of no more
385
+ than ninety (90) days, consult for Revocation announcements (i)
386
+ Licensor's website at any URL then operated by Licensor under the
387
+ arschitectura.com domain or any successor domain, and any subdomain,
388
+ path, or successor surface thereof, and (ii) the Canonical Repository
389
+ project page on its then-current hosting platform, including any
390
+ successor or replacement platform to which the project has migrated,
391
+ and including all surfaces of that page (release notes, tags,
392
+ advisories, discussions, wiki, README, pinned items, and any other
393
+ feature now existing or hereafter devised). It is Licensee's
394
+ responsibility to locate the then-current addresses of (i) and (ii);
395
+ migration, redirection, or rebranding by Licensor does not excuse the
396
+ duty. Failure to check does not delay the effectiveness of any
397
+ Revocation. Licensor may, but is not required to, maintain a stable
398
+ revocation index; the absence of such an index does not narrow this
399
+ duty.
400
+
401
+ Transition. Upon Revocation, every right granted under this License - with
402
+ respect to the Software AND with respect to every Derivative Work in the
403
+ Licensee's possession, control, or distribution - immediately terminates,
404
+ subject to a thirty (30)-day transition period from the effective date.
405
+ During the transition period, the Licensee shall (a) cease all use; (b)
406
+ destroy all copies in its possession or control, including backups except
407
+ as preserved by non-waivable mandatory law (see Section 11); (c) cause
408
+ Downstream Recipients to whom it has Distributed to do the same; and (d)
409
+ certify destruction in writing on Licensor's written request. Notice-
410
+ scaled transition periods for established Licensees are in Section 13.
411
+
412
+ Perpetuity and non-waiver. The Revocation right is perpetual. It cannot be
413
+ waived by conduct, silence, delay, acceptance of consideration, course of
414
+ dealing, course of performance, or passage of time. Only an express
415
+ written waiver signed by a duly authorized officer of Licensor, identifying
416
+ this Section 4 by name, operates as waiver.
417
+
418
+ Scope. Revocations may be (i) universal (revoking all licenses to all
419
+ Licensees), (ii) class-based (revoking the licenses of a defined class), or
420
+ (iii) individual (revoking a specific Licensee). All forms are effective
421
+ upon delivery of notice per the Effectiveness clause above. No individual
422
+ naming is required for universal or class-based Revocations; Licensor may
423
+ also effect individual Revocations by any channel listed in the
424
+ Effectiveness clause, including channel (d) alone.
425
+
426
+ Good-faith guardrail. Licensor acknowledges its duty of good faith under
427
+ article 1104 Code civil (non-waivable). The enumeration in Section 4.1 is
428
+ illustrative and non-exhaustive; it does NOT convert the Revocation right
429
+ into a for-cause right, which remains fully discretionary subject only to
430
+ the mandatory good-faith floor.
431
+
432
+ 4.1 Non-exhaustive factors. Without being required to disclose any reason,
433
+ Licensor may consider any of the following: (a) commercial strategy; (b)
434
+ legal, regulatory, reputational, or security risk; (c) response to
435
+ perceived misuse; (d) change of control of Licensee; (e) competitive
436
+ dynamics; (f) protection of author moral rights; (g) pivot or
437
+ discontinuation of the Software; and (h) any other legitimate interest of
438
+ Licensor. This factor list is furnished to defeat any challenge based on
439
+ condition purement potestative under article 1304-2 Code civil, while
440
+ preserving the discretionary character of the right.
441
+
442
+ 5. Flow-Through to Redistribution, Derivatives, and Downstream Recipients
443
+
444
+ Every Distribution and every Access Grant shall:
445
+
446
+ (a) include the full License text at the canonical path LICENSE.txt in the
447
+ distributed copy, and the short-form Notice to Recipients (Schedule 2)
448
+ in any rendered metadata or user-facing surface;
449
+ (b) surface the License to the Downstream Recipient before any access, by
450
+ one of the following, in order of preference: (i) an interstitial
451
+ acknowledgement screen; (ii) an unambiguous link in primary navigation;
452
+ (iii) an auto-displayed modal on first session; (iv) a printed annex to
453
+ a paper contract; or (v) for package-registry distribution, the
454
+ PEP 639 License-Expression and License-File fields plus the License
455
+ text in the long description rendered on the registry page;
456
+ (c) propagate machine-readable license metadata in accordance with
457
+ Section 8; and
458
+ (d) record Distributions and the identities of Downstream Recipients,
459
+ where feasible, in an internal register maintained for at least five
460
+ (5) years and produced to Licensor on thirty (30) days' written
461
+ request. No transmission of this register to Licensor is required
462
+ absent enforcement.
463
+
464
+ Revocation of a Licensee's rights transitively revokes all rights of every
465
+ Downstream Recipient in that Licensee's chain (nemo plus iuris ad alium
466
+ transferre potest quam ipse habet). Continued use of the Software or any
467
+ Derivative Work after the effective date of Revocation per Section 4 is
468
+ unlicensed and constitutes contrefacon under articles L335-2 and L335-3
469
+ CPI and analogous provisions, regardless of whether the Downstream
470
+ Recipient has received individual notice.
471
+
472
+ Joint and several liability. Licensee is solidairement liable under
473
+ article 1310 Code civil with each Downstream Recipient in its chain for
474
+ any breach of this License by that Downstream Recipient, to the extent
475
+ attributable to Licensee's failure to propagate the License, Attribution
476
+ Notices, or Section 8 technical measures, or to notify Licensor of the
477
+ Distribution within thirty (30) days of Licensor's written request.
478
+
479
+ 6. Restrictions
480
+
481
+ Licensee shall not:
482
+
483
+ (a) remove, alter, or obscure any Attribution Notice;
484
+ (b) sublicense the Software or any Derivative Work, or purport to grant
485
+ any recipient greater or inconsistent rights;
486
+ (c) execute, accept, or rely on any side agreement purporting to grant
487
+ rights in the Software or any Derivative Work that are inconsistent
488
+ with Sections 3, 4, or 5, or that purport to survive Revocation;
489
+ (d) circumvent or attempt to circumvent the Revocation right, including
490
+ by (i) clean-room or observation-based re-implementation by any person
491
+ or team in which any participant had prior access to the Software
492
+ (already within the definition of Derivative Work in Section 1); (ii)
493
+ AI-assisted or automated rewriting (already prohibited by Section 7);
494
+ (iii) abstraction, API cloning, or paraphrasing of the Software's
495
+ structure, sequence, or organization; or (iv) laundering the Software
496
+ through intermediate works, entities, or jurisdictions;
497
+ (e) use the ArsChitectura SAS name, logos, or trademarks without separate
498
+ prior written permission;
499
+ (f) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to
500
+ the extent expressly permitted by non-waivable mandatory applicable
501
+ law (the exercise of such non-waivable rights being conditional on
502
+ Licensee's good standing; see Section 11); or
503
+ (g) conceal the Software's provenance (by renaming, relabelling,
504
+ misdeclaring, or obfuscating the Software's identity in SBOMs,
505
+ package metadata, or elsewhere). Conduct under this paragraph (g) is
506
+ faute lourde within the meaning of French contract law and excludes
507
+ any cap or limitation on damages that would otherwise apply.
508
+
509
+ 7. Prohibition on Artificial Intelligence and Automated Use
510
+
511
+ Without limiting the generality of Section 6, the following activities are
512
+ strictly prohibited without prior express written consent of ArsChitectura
513
+ SAS:
514
+
515
+ (a) Using any part of the Software as training data, fine-tuning data,
516
+ evaluation data, or input for any machine learning model, artificial
517
+ intelligence system, neural network, language model, or any other automated
518
+ learning system, whether commercial or non-commercial.
519
+
520
+ (b) Ingesting, indexing, scraping, crawling, caching, embedding, vectorizing,
521
+ or otherwise processing any part of the Software by any automated system,
522
+ algorithm, bot, spider, or software agent.
523
+
524
+ (c) Analyzing, summarizing, paraphrasing, rewriting, extracting information
525
+ from, or generating any derivative output based on any part of the Software,
526
+ whether by artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language
527
+ processing, or any other automated or semi-automated means.
528
+
529
+ (d) Performing any form of data mining, text mining, content extraction,
530
+ pattern recognition, or statistical analysis on any part of the Software.
531
+
532
+ (e) Including any part of the Software in any dataset, corpus, knowledge base,
533
+ retrieval system, or any other collection intended for use by or accessible
534
+ to any automated system.
535
+
536
+ 7.1 Input prohibition. Licensee shall not input, transmit, paste, upload,
537
+ embed, reference, or cite any part of the Software or any Derivative Work
538
+ to any AI system (including large language models, code-completion
539
+ assistants, automated refactoring tools, and equivalent systems) for any
540
+ purpose, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.7.
541
+
542
+ 7.2 Output status. Any output of an AI system that was provided the
543
+ Software as input, directly or indirectly, is a Derivative Work regardless
544
+ of whether that output is itself copyrightable, except to the extent the
545
+ output qualifies as Integration Output under Section 7.7. Licensee's
546
+ obligations under this Section 7 are contractual covenants that do not
547
+ depend on the copyright status of the output.
548
+
549
+ 7.3 Tooling exclusion. Licensee shall not use any AI System that is
550
+ publicly known, or that a reasonable user exercising due diligence
551
+ would have grounds to believe, was trained, fine-tuned, adapted, or
552
+ prompted on the Software or any Derivative Work, whether or not such
553
+ training was authorized, except that Licensee may use a Permitted
554
+ Integration Tool for Integration Use under Section 7.7. Where an AI
555
+ System operator publicly states that it does not train on the
556
+ Software, Licensee may rely on that statement absent specific contrary
557
+ knowledge.
558
+
559
+ 7.4 Documentation-as-input. Subsections 7.1 through 7.3 apply equally to
560
+ the Software's documentation, including README files, docstrings, and
561
+ examples, subject to Section 7.7, under which the public README usage
562
+ examples and the call-signature portion of public docstrings constitute
563
+ Public API Material that may be submitted for Integration Use.
564
+
565
+ 7.5 EU AI Act Art. 53(1)(c) and DSM Directive Art. 4(3) reservation.
566
+ Licensor hereby exercises (i) the rightsholder reservation permitted
567
+ under article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 ("DSM") and (ii) the
568
+ equivalent reservation that providers of general-purpose AI models
569
+ within the meaning of EU Regulation 2024/1689 ("AI Act") article 3(63)
570
+ are required to identify and respect under AI Act article 53(1)(c).
571
+ Per AI Act article 113(b), the substantive GPAI provider obligations
572
+ under article 53 apply from 2 August 2025; the AI Office's enforcement
573
+ powers with respect to those obligations apply from 2 August 2026
574
+ following a one-year transition. Machine-readable expression of this
575
+ reservation is published by way of the files and metadata listed in
576
+ Section 8. The absence or failure of any one machine-readable signal
577
+ shall not be construed as a waiver of this reservation where other
578
+ signals are present.
579
+
580
+ 7.6 Damages for AI breach. Breach of this Section 7 entitles Licensor to
581
+ actual damages as assessed by the competent court, including disgorgement
582
+ of profits attributable to the breach. The parties acknowledge that
583
+ damages for AI breach may be difficult to quantify and agree that the
584
+ court may award such additional amount as reflects a genuine pre-estimate
585
+ of loss and not a penalty, consistent with article 1231-5 Code civil.
586
+ Licensor's rights under this Section 7.6 are contractual, are not
587
+ dependent upon a finding of copyright infringement, and survive any
588
+ defense based on fair use, idea-expression dichotomy, non-copyrightability
589
+ of AI outputs, or analogous doctrines.
590
+
591
+ 7.7 Permitted AI Integration Use (carve-out from 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4)
592
+
593
+ Notwithstanding 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4, but subject in all respects to
594
+ 6(d), 7(a) through 7(e), 7.5, and 7.6, Licensee may engage in Integration
595
+ Use of Public API Material with a Permitted Integration Tool to produce
596
+ Integration Output, provided that all conditions of this Section 7.7 are
597
+ continuously met.
598
+
599
+ 7.7.1 Definitions (this Section only).
600
+
601
+ "Public API Material" means, taken cumulatively and in the aggregate no
602
+ more than is reasonably necessary for the Integration Use:
603
+
604
+ (a) the names of public classes, public functions, and public methods of
605
+ the Software (a symbol is "public" if its identifier does not begin
606
+ with an underscore and the symbol is exported from a top-level
607
+ package module);
608
+
609
+ (b) the parameter names, parameter type annotations, parameter default
610
+ values, return type annotations, and raised-exception type
611
+ annotations of those public symbols;
612
+
613
+ (c) the verbatim text of the public docstring attached to a public
614
+ symbol, but only the portion describing how to call that symbol
615
+ (parameters, return value, raised exceptions, brief usage note);
616
+
617
+ (d) the verbatim text of the usage examples in the README distributed
618
+ with the Software, limited to the code blocks intended to be
619
+ executed by Licensees;
620
+
621
+ (e) the SPDX identifier and the unmodified License text and Notice; and
622
+
623
+ (f) version number, package name, and other neutral metadata.
624
+
625
+ Public API Material does NOT include, and Licensee shall not submit to
626
+ any AI system under this Section: any source-code body of any function,
627
+ method, or constructor; any private symbol (whether or not its name
628
+ begins with an underscore); any test code; the contents of any module
629
+ not listed as a public entry point; any algorithm description, design
630
+ note, mathematical derivation, complexity discussion, or rationale prose
631
+ contained in docstrings or documentation; any portion of any analogous
632
+ design document; or any file taken in bulk (for example, by
633
+ attaching, uploading, or auto-context-including the entirety of an
634
+ installed copy of the Software).
635
+
636
+ "Integration Use" means submitting Public API Material to a Permitted
637
+ Integration Tool for the sole and exclusive purpose of producing
638
+ Integration Output. The following are NOT Integration Use and remain
639
+ prohibited under 7.1 through 7.4: requesting an explanation, summary,
640
+ paraphrase, rewrite, translation, port, critique, review, or analysis of
641
+ the Software or any part thereof; requesting the reproduction or
642
+ reconstruction of any non-public Protected Expression; generating
643
+ training, fine-tuning, evaluation, retrieval-augmentation, or knowledge-
644
+ base data; producing materials intended to teach a third party how the
645
+ Software works internally; or producing any output other than Integration
646
+ Output.
647
+
648
+ "Integration Output" means source code authored by or for Licensee that
649
+ (i) imports, invokes, or otherwise calls the Software through its Public
650
+ API; (ii) is intended for Licensee's own application, deployment, or
651
+ downstream Distribution as the Licensee's own work; (iii) does not
652
+ reproduce, restate, transcribe, port, paraphrase, or describe any non-
653
+ public Protected Expression of the Software; and (iv) does not reproduce
654
+ more of the Public API Material than is functionally necessary to make
655
+ the API call. Output that fails any of (i) through (iv) is not
656
+ Integration Output and is governed by 7.2 in full (i.e., remains a
657
+ Derivative Work).
658
+
659
+ "Permitted Integration Tool" means a general-purpose AI coding assistant
660
+ or large language model offered to the public by a third party
661
+ (including, by way of non-exhaustive example, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini,
662
+ GitHub Copilot, and Cursor), used in its ordinary public-facing capacity.
663
+ A tool is NOT a Permitted Integration Tool if it (a) was knowingly
664
+ trained, fine-tuned, adapted, or prompted on the Software in violation of
665
+ this License, (b) operates as a circumvention of Revocation under
666
+ Section 4, or (c) is operated for the purpose of extracting,
667
+ reconstructing, or laundering the Software's non-public Protected
668
+ Expression.
669
+
670
+ 7.7.2 Conditions on Integration Use. The carve-out in this Section 7.7
671
+ applies only while Licensee, with respect to each Integration Use:
672
+
673
+ (a) submits no material other than Public API Material;
674
+
675
+ (b) takes commercially reasonable measures to configure any agentic
676
+ or auto-context tooling (for example, repository-wide indexing,
677
+ IDE workspace context, or retrieval-augmented assistants) to
678
+ exclude all installed copies of the Software's source files
679
+ other than what falls within Public API Material; the burden is
680
+ on Licensee, but inadvertent submission promptly remediated upon
681
+ discovery is not by itself a breach where Licensee can
682
+ demonstrate that commercially reasonable preventative measures
683
+ were in place;
684
+
685
+ (c) reviews each Output before any further use and discards any Output
686
+ that is not Integration Output as defined above;
687
+
688
+ (d) does not request, and does not knowingly retain, any Output
689
+ describing, summarizing, paraphrasing, or reconstructing any non-
690
+ public Protected Expression of the Software;
691
+
692
+ (e) does not chain Integration Use with any prohibited use, including
693
+ by feeding Integration Outputs back into model training,
694
+ evaluation, retrieval, or fine-tuning corpora; and
695
+
696
+ (f) preserves the prohibition in 7(a) through 7(e) in full -
697
+ Integration Use does not authorize training, ingestion, indexing,
698
+ scraping, embedding, vectorization, dataset inclusion, or
699
+ knowledge-base inclusion of the Software, whether by Licensee, by
700
+ the Permitted Integration Tool, or by the Tool's operator.
701
+
702
+ 7.7.3 Output status of Integration Output. Solely to the extent it
703
+ qualifies as Integration Output under 7.7.1, an Output of a Permitted
704
+ Integration Tool is not a Derivative Work for purposes of Section 1
705
+ clause (e), Section 7.2, or Section 6(d)(ii); the rights and obligations
706
+ applicable to Integration Output are those of Licensee's own client code
707
+ under this License. All other Outputs remain Derivative Works under 7.2.
708
+
709
+ 7.7.4 Preservation of training opt-out. Nothing in this Section 7.7
710
+ authorizes any third party (including any operator of a Permitted
711
+ Integration Tool) to use the Software, the Public API Material, or any
712
+ Integration Output as training, fine-tuning, evaluation, or retrieval-
713
+ augmentation data. The reservation under 7.5 (Directive (EU) 2019/790
714
+ article 4(3)) and the machine-readable signals listed in Section 8 remain
715
+ in force unaffected. Where a Permitted Integration Tool's terms of
716
+ service would cause Licensee's submitted material to be used by the
717
+ Tool's operator for model training in a manner that would breach this
718
+ License if performed by Licensee, Licensee shall configure the Tool to
719
+ disable such use (for example, by enabling a no-training, zero-data-
720
+ retention, or privacy mode where offered) or shall not use that Tool for
721
+ Integration Use.
722
+
723
+ 7.7.5 No relaxation of anti-circumvention. Nothing in this Section 7.7
724
+ relaxes Section 6(d), Section 9.4, or any other anti-circumvention or
725
+ post-Revocation prohibition. Integration Use is not authorized after
726
+ Revocation; Integration Outputs produced before Revocation are governed
727
+ by Section 9.4 (pre-Revocation acts in compliance remain licensed), but
728
+ no new Integration Use may be commenced after the effective date of
729
+ Revocation.
730
+
731
+ 7.7.6 Burden of proof. In any dispute, the burden of demonstrating that
732
+ a particular Output constitutes Integration Output, that the inputs were
733
+ limited to Public API Material, and that the Tool was used as a Permitted
734
+ Integration Tool rests on the Licensee, who shall preserve reasonable
735
+ contemporaneous records of prompts and outputs for the duration
736
+ applicable under Section 5(d).
737
+
738
+ 7.7.7 No implied broader carve-out. The carve-out in this Section 7.7
739
+ is construed strictly (article L131-3 CPI). Activities not expressly
740
+ permitted by this Section 7.7 remain prohibited by 7.1 through 7.6 and
741
+ by Section 6.
742
+
743
+ 7.8 General reverse burden of proof for Section 7 anti-AI compliance.
744
+
745
+ In any dispute concerning any subsection of this Section 7, the
746
+ burden of demonstrating compliance rests on Licensee, not on
747
+ Licensor. Specifically, Licensee shall preserve, for not less than
748
+ five (5) years from each act of use, contemporaneous records
749
+ sufficient to demonstrate that:
750
+
751
+ (a) no part of the Software has been used as input to, or training,
752
+ fine-tuning, evaluation, or retrieval-augmentation data for, any
753
+ AI System (other than as expressly permitted by Section 7.7);
754
+ (b) no part of the Software has been ingested, indexed, scraped,
755
+ crawled, cached, embedded, vectorized, or otherwise processed by
756
+ any automated system or AI System;
757
+ (c) no part of the Software has been included in any dataset, corpus,
758
+ knowledge base, retrieval system, or AI-accessible collection;
759
+ (d) all Integration Use complied with the Section 7.7 conditions;
760
+ and
761
+ (e) any AI System used by Licensee that had access to the Software's
762
+ installation directory, source files, or related artefacts was
763
+ configured to exclude such material from training, indexing,
764
+ retention, and downstream sharing per the Section 7.7.2(b)
765
+ "commercially reasonable measures" standard.
766
+
767
+ Licensor's prima facie showing of breach (e.g., demonstrable similarity
768
+ between an output and the Software's non-public Protected Expression;
769
+ appearance of Software fragments in a third party's training-data
770
+ manifest; presence of the Software's source in an AI System's
771
+ retrieved-context logs) shifts no further production-of-evidence
772
+ burden onto Licensor: Licensee bears the positive duty to produce
773
+ records exonerating its compliance. Failure or refusal to produce
774
+ such records on Licensor's reasonable written request creates a
775
+ rebuttable presumption of breach of the corresponding Section 7
776
+ subsection. This reversal of the burden of proof is a contractual
777
+ stipulation under French law (renversement contractuel de la charge
778
+ de la preuve), enforceable in B2B contexts; in B2C contexts (if any),
779
+ it applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer-
780
+ protection law.
781
+
782
+ 7.9 Modifications outside the Permitted-Contribution lifecycle.
783
+
784
+ Any modification of the Software, in any form, that is not tied to a
785
+ Pending Contribution or a Merged Contribution under Section 2(b), or
786
+ that having been tied to a Pending Contribution has fallen through to
787
+ Rejected Contribution status under Section 2(b)(iii), is an
788
+ unauthorized Derivative Work for all purposes of this License and falls
789
+ within the prohibition of Section 7.2 above. The Permitted-Contribution
790
+ clause of Section 2(b) is a narrow authorization to modify a Working
791
+ Copy of the Software for the sole purpose of preparing and submitting a
792
+ Contribution; it does not authorize, and shall not be construed to
793
+ authorize, any activity prohibited by Section 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, or 7.5,
794
+ nor any activity prohibited by Sections 6 or 7(a) through 7(e).
795
+
796
+ 8. Machine-Readable Metadata and Opt-Out Signals
797
+
798
+ Licensor publishes, in this repository, the following files:

830

+ (f) REUSE-compliant per-file SPDX-License-Identifier headers where
837
+ reasonably feasible.
838
+
839
+ 9. Termination and Transition
840
+
841
+ 9.1 Forms of termination. This License terminates by: (i) Revocation
842
+ under Section 4; (ii) automatic termination on material breach; (iii)
843
+ convenience termination by the Licensee at any time; or (iv) automatic
844
+ statutory termination under Section 14 (sanctions, export). Termination
845
+ under (iv) is not a Revocation and is not subject to the Section 9.2
846
+ transition period.
847
+
848
+ 9.2 Transition. Thirty (30) days from the effective date of termination,
849
+ extendable to not more than ninety (90) days where a court finds thirty
850
+ (30) days inadequate under article L442-1, II Code de commerce. Notice-
851
+ scaled periods for established Licensees are in Section 13.
852
+
853
+ 9.3 Scope. Revocation terminates licensed rights prospectively. Pre-
854
+ Revocation acts in compliance with the License remain licensed as of the
855
+ time performed. Post-Revocation use, reproduction, Distribution, or
856
+ Access Grant (other than acts falling within Section 11 non-waivable
857
+ exceptions) is unlicensed and constitutes contrefacon under articles
858
+ L335-2 and L335-3 CPI and analogous provisions.
859
+
860
+ 9.4 Re-acceptance. A person in possession of a copy of the Software or
861
+ any Derivative Work originating from a revoked or non-compliant source
862
+ holds no license. Such a person may apply to Licensor for Re-Acceptance,
863
+ which Licensor may grant, deny, or condition at its sole discretion.
864
+ Pending Re-Acceptance, continued use is infringement.
865
+
866
+ 9.5 Clean-room re-establishment. Licensee's duty to notify Licensor of a
867
+ residual copy or non-compliant fork of which it becomes aware is a
868
+ continuing duty under this License, discharged by written notice within
869
+ ten (10) business days of Licensee becoming aware.
870
+
871
+ 9.6 Survival. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17,
872
+ 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 26, Exhibit A, and Exhibit B survive termination.
873
+
874
+ 10. Intellectual Property and Data
875
+
876
+ The Software is proprietary to ArsChitectura SAS. All rights not expressly
877
+ granted are reserved.
878
+
879
+ As between Licensor and Licensee:
880
+
881
+ (a) Licensee retains all rights in User Data;
882
+ (b) Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in the Software and
883
+ in all improvements, derivatives, and modifications of the Software
884
+ made by Licensor;
885
+ (c) Licensee retains such rights as arise by operation of law in
886
+ Licensee's own original contributions to any Derivative Work,
887
+ subject in their entirety to this License and in particular subject
888
+ to the Co-Terminous Clause of Section 2.
889
+
890
+ No right, title, or interest in any output of the Software is granted or
891
+ assigned to Licensee except the limited right to use such output in
892
+ accordance with this License.
893
+
894
+ If Licensee provides suggestions, enhancement requests, or other feedback
895
+ regarding the Software, Licensee grants Licensor a perpetual, irrevocable,
896
+ worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable
897
+ license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise exploit
898
+ such feedback without restriction and without obligation to Licensee.
899
+
900
+ 11. Non-Waivable Mandatory Rights
901
+
902
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, Licensee retains
903
+ rights mandatory under applicable law and incapable of contractual
904
+ exclusion, including without limitation:
905
+
906
+ - article L122-6-1 CPI (backup copy, observation and study,
907
+ decompilation for interoperability);
908
+ - Directive 2009/24/EC articles 5(2), 5(3), and 6, as transposed into
909
+ the national law of each European Economic Area Member State;
910
+ - sections 69d and 69e of the German Urheberrechtsgesetz;
911
+ - 17 U.S.C. section 117 (essential-step and archival copies), subject
912
+ to the characterization in Exhibit A; and
913
+ - analogous provisions in other jurisdictions.
914
+
915
+ Revocation does not purport to, and shall not be construed to,
916
+ extinguish these non-waivable rights. However, (i) such rights are
917
+ conditioned on Licensee being a "lawful user"; upon Revocation, Licensee
918
+ ceases to be a lawful user and the non-waivable exceptions cease to
919
+ apply prospectively to that Licensee; and (ii) Directive 2009/24 article
920
+ 5(1) "error correction" is waivable by specific contractual stipulation
921
+ under L122-6-1 I, and is hereby expressly waived - Licensee shall report
922
+ errors to Licensor in lieu of self-correction.
923
+
924
+ 12. No Warranty and Limitation of Liability
925
+
926
+ THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
927
+ IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
928
+ FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
929
+
930
+ TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARSCHITECTURA SAS SHALL NOT
931
+ BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY,
932
+ OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NOR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR
933
+ BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, NOR FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
934
+ TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM OR
935
+ RELATED TO THIS LICENSE OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
936
+ SUCH DAMAGES.
937
+
938
+ TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY
939
+ OF ARSCHITECTURA SAS, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND
940
+ CONTRACTORS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS LICENSE OR THE SOFTWARE - WHETHER
941
+ ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY OR IN THE AGGREGATE BY ALL LICENSEES COMBINED, AND
942
+ WHETHER BY SINGLE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CLASS ACTION,
943
+ REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, MASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHERWISE - IS EXCLUDED IN FULL.
944
+ NO SUM IS OWED.
945
+
946
+ WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE COMPLETE EXCLUSION OF A HEAD OF LIABILITY,
947
+ LIABILITY FOR THAT HEAD IS LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM AMOUNT REQUIRED BY THAT LAW
948
+ AND IS IN EVERY CASE CAPPED AT THE FEES (IF ANY) ACTUALLY PAID BY THE PARTICULAR
949
+ CLAIMANT TO ARSCHITECTURA SAS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM;
950
+ ARSCHITECTURA SAS'S LIABILITY TO A LICENSEE WHO PAID NO FEES IS ZERO EXCEPT
951
+ WHERE NON-WAIVABLE LAW OTHERWISE REQUIRES.
952
+
953
+ NOTHING IN THIS LICENSE EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR
954
+ LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
955
+ CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, AND FOR ANY
956
+ OTHER MATTER FOR WHICH EXCLUSION WOULD BE VOID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
957
+
958
+ 13. Notice Scaling for Established Licensees
959
+
960
+ Where Licensee has operated continuously under this License for more than
961
+ twenty-four (24) months, the transition period under Section 9.2 shall
962
+ be not less than ninety (90) days. Where Licensee has operated
963
+ continuously for more than sixty (60) months, not less than one hundred
964
+ eighty (180) days. These periods are stipulated to satisfy article
965
+ L442-1, II Code de commerce (rupture brutale des relations commerciales
966
+ etablies), without converting Section 4 Revocation into a for-cause right.
967
+
968
+ The notice-scaled transition periods set forth in this Section 13 apply
969
+ equally to the cease-use trigger under Section 2(b)(iii) (Rejected
970
+ Contribution) and Section 2(b)(iv) (reverted Merger), substituting the
971
+ effective date of Rejection or revert for the effective date of
972
+ Revocation as the start of the period.
973
+
974
+ 14. Statutory Termination (Sanctions, Export, Regulatory)
975
+
976
+ This License terminates automatically, without notice and without
977
+ requirement of any further formality, if and to the extent that the
978
+ continued grant would violate any sanctions, export-control, embargo, or
979
+ other regulatory regime applicable to either party, including without
980
+ limitation EU Regulation 833/2014 and successor instruments, OFAC
981
+ sanctions programs, and French decrees on dual-use items. Statutory
982
+ termination under this Section 14 is not a Revocation under Section 4
983
+ and is not subject to the Section 9.2 transition period or Section 13
984
+ notice scaling.
985
+
986
+ 15. Reserved
987
+
988
+ The prior draft of this License contemplated a hosted Licensee registry
989
+ for direct-notice and data-protection purposes. No such registry exists;
990
+ Licensor does not collect personal data absent enforcement. Licensee's
991
+ duty to check Licensor's organization website and the Software's project
992
+ homepage for Revocation announcements is set forth in Section 4.
993
+
994
+ 16. Severability and Supervening-Law Cascade
995
+
996
+ If any provision of this License is held unenforceable in whole or in
997
+ part by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction:
998
+
999
+ (i) the provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to
1000
+ render it enforceable, preserving to the greatest extent possible the
1001
+ parties' original intent;
1002
+ (ii) if such modification is prohibited in the relevant jurisdiction
1003
+ (including under the German BGH doctrine on section 306(2) BGB
1004
+ prohibiting geltungserhaltende Reduktion, and analogous rules
1005
+ elsewhere), severance shall apply only as to parties for whom
1006
+ that jurisdiction's law governs; and
1007
+ (iii) unaffected provisions and the effect of this License in other
1008
+ jurisdictions shall remain in full force.
1009
+
1010
+ Where Section 4 Revocation is held by a court or tribunal of competent
1011
+ jurisdiction to be unenforceable in whole or in part under the mandatory
1012
+ or public-policy law of a Licensee's jurisdiction, the Revocation right
1013
+ shall be reduced to the broadest form enforceable in that jurisdiction
1014
+ according to the following cascade:
1015
+
1016
+ (a) unilateral at-will with the transition periods in Sections 9.2 and
1017
+ 13;
1018
+ (b) unilateral for good cause, with no notice period for material breach
1019
+ and with ninety (90) days' notice otherwise;
1020
+ (c) unilateral for material breach uncured after thirty (30) days'
1021
+ written notice.
1022
+
1023
+ This cascade applies automatically and sequentially; application at level
1024
+ (b) or (c) in one jurisdiction does not affect the operation at level (a)
1025
+ in jurisdictions that accept it.
1026
+
1027
+ 17. Anti-Assignment and Change of Control
1028
+
1029
+ This License is personal to the Licensee. Licensee shall not assign,
1030
+ transfer, sublicense, or otherwise convey this License or any right
1031
+ hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law, contract, merger,
1032
+ acquisition, reorganization, dissolution, spin-off, or any other means,
1033
+ without Licensor's prior express written consent, which may be withheld
1034
+ in Licensor's sole discretion. Any purported assignment without consent
1035
+ is void ab initio and terminates this License automatically.
1036
+
1037
+ "Change of Control" means any transaction or series of transactions
1038
+ resulting in (a) a person or group acquiring, directly or indirectly,
1039
+ more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting rights or equity of
1040
+ Licensee; (b) the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
1041
+ substantially all of Licensee's assets to which this License relates;
1042
+ (c) a merger, demerger (scission), or similar reorganization of Licensee;
1043
+ or (d) a change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of Licensee.
1044
+ Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing of any contemplated Change of
1045
+ Control at least sixty (60) days in advance. Failure to obtain prior
1046
+ consent terminates this License on the closing date of the Change of
1047
+ Control; no acquirer or successor has any right in the Software or any
1048
+ Derivative Work unless it affirmatively re-accepts this License.
1049
+
1050
+ Revocation binds predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, parents,
1051
+ subsidiaries, and controlling shareholders of the Licensee, jointly and
1052
+ severally.
1053
+
1054
+ 18. Insolvency
1055
+
1056
+ This License terminates automatically upon (i) the opening against
1057
+ Licensee of any procedure de sauvegarde, redressement judiciaire, or
1058
+ liquidation judiciaire under the French Code de commerce, or any
1059
+ equivalent foreign proceeding (including without limitation US Title 11
1060
+ Chapter 7, 11, or 15); (ii) the appointment of a mandataire ad hoc,
1061
+ conciliateur, administrateur judiciaire, trustee, or equivalent; or
1062
+ (iii) Licensee's general assignment for the benefit of creditors. This
1063
+ License is intuitu personae. The relevant insolvency officer may not
1064
+ continue the License without Licensor's prior written consent.
1065
+
1066
+ 19. Anti-Waiver
1067
+
1068
+ No failure or delay by Licensor in exercising any right under this
1069
+ License, and no other act or omission of Licensor, shall constitute a
1070
+ waiver, election of remedies, estoppel, laches, or acquiescence. Without
1071
+ limitation, none of the following operates as waiver: knowledge of breach
1072
+ followed by inaction; acceptance of payments; engagement with Licensee;
1073
+ response to issues or pull requests; public acknowledgment of Licensee's
1074
+ use; participation in conferences or events attended by Licensee; or any
1075
+ course of dealing, course of performance, or industry custom. Only an
1076
+ express written waiver signed by a duly authorized officer of Licensor,
1077
+ expressly identified as a waiver and identifying the clause waived, is
1078
+ effective.
1079
+
1080
+ 20. Anti-Evasion
1081
+
1082
+ Licensee shall not take any action, directly or through any affiliate or
1083
+ third party, the purpose or effect of which is to invoke the law of a
1084
+ jurisdiction more protective of licensees than French law in order to
1085
+ defeat or circumvent Section 4, Section 5, Section 7, or any other
1086
+ provision of this License. Any such action terminates this License
1087
+ automatically. Licensor may seek injunctive relief in the Paris courts,
1088
+ and the costs of such proceedings are borne by the Licensee.
1089
+
1090
+ 21. Acknowledged Risk; No Reliance; No Implied License
1091
+
1092
+ Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees: (a) this License is revocable
1093
+ at-will by Licensor without cause; (b) Licensee has been placed on
1094
+ explicit notice of this risk prior to commencing use; (c) any investment,
1095
+ business, deployment, integration, or reliance undertaken by Licensee is
1096
+ at Licensee's sole risk; (d) Licensee waives any reliance-based claim,
1097
+ including promissory estoppel, detrimental reliance, and any claim under
1098
+ article 1195 Code civil (imprevision) or analogous doctrines; and (e) the
1099
+ Revocation right is material consideration reflected in the no-fee grant
1100
+ of this License.
1101
+
1102
+ No rights are granted by implication, estoppel, exhaustion, silence, or
1103
+ otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this License. Article L131-3
1104
+ CPI requires strict written interpretation of any transfer of author's
1105
+ rights; all uses not expressly authorized are reserved. Publication of
1106
+ the Software on any public repository, package registry, or distribution
1107
+ channel grants only the rights expressly stated in this License.
1108
+
1109
+ 22. Paid Non-Revocable Commercial License Alternative
1110
+
1111
+ A paid, non-revocable commercial license is available on disclosed terms.
1112
+ Licensee may request such a license by contacting ArsChitectura SAS at
1113
+ the email address published under [project.urls].Contact in pyproject.toml
1114
+ or by any other channel disclosed by ArsChitectura SAS from time to time.
1115
+ The present License is offered as one option among several; revocability
1116
+ is the bargained-for consideration for the no-fee, no-support, no-
1117
+ warranty character of this option. The availability of the negotiated
1118
+ paid alternative is relied upon to rebut any characterization of this
1119
+ License as an unreviewable contrat d'adhesion under article 1171 Code
1120
+ civil.
1121
+
1122
+ The Permitted-Contribution clause of Section 2(b) is a property of this
1123
+ source-available License only. A paid non-revocable commercial license
1124
+ under this Section 22 may, at Licensor's discretion, grant a broader
1125
+ modification right - including without limitation the right to maintain
1126
+ a private fork for vendored-version stability - on terms set forth in
1127
+ the commercial license.
1128
+
1129
+ 23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
1130
+
1131
+ This license is governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict of
1132
+ law principles.
1133
+
1134
+ Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this license shall be subject
1135
+ to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Paris, France.
1136
+
1137
+ The parties further agree, to the maximum extent enforceable, that disputes
1138
+ shall be resolved individually and not on a class, mass, or collective
1139
+ basis. Where Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 articles 17-19 or analogous
1140
+ mandatory rules confer jurisdiction on a different forum (notably for
1141
+ consumers, if any), that forum applies only to the extent required by
1142
+ those mandatory rules, and the Paris forum governs all other claims.
1143
+
1144
+ 24. Third-Party Components
1145
+
1146
+ The Software may include or be distributed with third-party components subject
1147
+ to separate license terms. Where required by applicable third-party licenses,
1148
+ those terms apply to the corresponding components and prevail for those
1149
+ components only.
1150
+
1151
+ 25. Compliance With Laws
1152
+
1153
+ You are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to
1154
+ your use of the Software, including export control and sanctions laws.
1155
+
1156
+ 26. General
1157
+
1158
+ This license constitutes the entire agreement between you and ArsChitectura SAS
1159
+ regarding the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
1160
+ understandings on that subject.
1161
+
1162
+ If any provision of this license is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions
1163
+ remain in full force and effect.
1164
+
1165
+ A failure to enforce any provision of this license is not a waiver of future
1166
+ enforcement of that or any other provision.
1167
+
1168
+ You may not assign this license without prior written consent from
1169
+ ArsChitectura SAS. ArsChitectura SAS may assign this license in connection with
1170
+ a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of substantially all
1171
+ assets.
1172
+
1173

1174
+ EXHIBIT A - United States Addendum
1175
+
1176
+ For Licensees whose principal establishment is in the United States, or
1177
+ where this License is enforced in a United States forum notwithstanding
1178
+ Section 23:
1179
+
1180
+ A.1 Licensee status (17 U.S.C. section 117 / Vernor). Licensee is a mere
1181
+ licensee of the Software and not an owner of any copy. Licensee's rights
1182
+ in any installed copy terminate upon Revocation or breach. Licensee is
1183
+ subject to significant use restrictions, and this License is non-
1184
+ transferable. These characteristics are intended to place Licensee
1185
+ outside the scope of 17 U.S.C. section 117 per Vernor v. Autodesk, 621
1186
+ F.3d 1102, 1110-11 (9th Cir. 2010), under which the user is a licensee
1187
+ (not an owner) when (i) the copyright owner specifies that the user is
1188
+ granted a license; (ii) the copyright owner significantly restricts the
1189
+ user's ability to transfer the software; and (iii) the copyright owner
1190
+ imposes notable use restrictions.
1191
+
1192
+ A.2 Bankruptcy (11 U.S.C. section 365(n)). This License is not an
1193
+ "executory contract" within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 365;
1194
+ Licensor has fully performed the grant at inception and has no material
1195
+ ongoing obligation to Licensee. In any proceeding where section 365(n)
1196
+ is asserted, Licensee's election is limited to the Protected Expression
1197
+ as it existed at the filing date, does not extend to future versions or
1198
+ updates, does not create any affirmative support, maintenance, or
1199
+ delivery duty on Licensor, and does not defeat the Section 4 Revocation
1200
+ right.
1201
+
1202
+ A.3 Fair use. The Section 7 AI prohibition operates as a contractual
1203
+ covenant independent of the copyright status of any particular use.
1204
+ Breach of Section 7 is actionable in contract without proof of
1205
+ infringement; defenses based on fair use, idea-expression dichotomy, or
1206
+ non-copyrightability of AI outputs do not excuse breach of covenant.
1207
+
1208
+ A.4 Unconscionability and state law. For Licensees in Maryland and
1209
+ Virginia, UCITA principles apply. For Licensees in other states, the
1210
+ Section 16 severability and supervening-law cascade governs.
1211
+
1212
+ A.5 California Business and Professions Code section 17200. Claims
1213
+ brought under section 17200, if any, shall be resolved by arbitration
1214
+ administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS International Arbitration
1215
+ Rules (current version as of the dispute date), with Paris, France as
1216
+ the seat of arbitration, in English, before three arbitrators. This
1217
+ arbitration carve-out does not displace Section 23 for any other
1218
+ category of claim.
1219
+
1220
+ A.6 CCPA. No personal data of Licensees is collected by Licensor absent
1221
+ enforcement (Section 15). Any enforcement-related collection is limited
1222
+ to data strictly necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of
1223
+ legal claims.
1224
+
1225

1226
+ EXHIBIT B - Germany, European Economic Area, and United Kingdom Addendum
1227
+
1228
+ For Licensees whose principal establishment is in the Federal Republic of
1229
+ Germany, or where German law applies to the Licensee by virtue of article
1230
+ 6 or article 9 of Regulation (EC) 593/2008 or sections 305 ff. BGB:
1231
+
1232
+ B.1 Replacement of Section 4 Revocation. Section 4 Revocation is
1233
+ replaced, as to such Licensees, by: (i) termination for good cause
1234
+ ("aus wichtigem Grund") under section 314 BGB, and (ii) convenience
1235
+ termination upon ninety (90) days' written notice. The factors in
1236
+ Section 4.1 are illustrative grounds of good cause. This accommodation
1237
+ applies only as against Germany-seated Licensees; Section 4 in its full
1238
+ at-will form continues to apply elsewhere per Section 16(iii). Section
1239
+ 307 BGB content control is preserved in the B2B context by section
1240
+ 310(1) BGB (which disapplies sections 308 and 309 to B2B but preserves
1241
+ section 307, with appropriate consideration of trade customs).
1242
+
1243
+ B.2 Non-waivable software-copyright exceptions. Sections 69d and 69e
1244
+ UrhG are preserved in full.
1245
+
1246
+ B.3 Zweckubertragungslehre. The purpose of this License is to enable
1247
+ Licensor to distribute the Software on a source-available basis while
1248
+ retaining prospective Revocation. The prospective-revocation character
1249
+ is an essential purpose (Vertragszweck); narrow construction shall not
1250
+ diminish Revocation below what that purpose requires.
1251
+
1252
+ For Licensees whose principal establishment is in the European Economic
1253
+ Area generally:
1254
+
1255
+ B.4 Rome I and Brussels Ia accommodations. The choice of French law in
1256
+ Section 23 does not displace the application of mandatory or overriding
1257
+ provisions of the Licensee's habitual residence under article 6, 9, or
1258
+ 11 of Regulation (EC) 593/2008, nor the forum allocations of articles 17
1259
+ through 19 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 for consumer proceedings.
1260
+
1261
+ B.5 DSM article 3. Qualifying research organizations and cultural
1262
+ heritage institutions may exercise the non-waivable text-and-data-mining
1263
+ exception under article 3 of Directive (EU) 2019/790 for non-commercial
1264
+ scientific research, notwithstanding Section 7. This is an
1265
+ acknowledgement of the state of EU law, not a waiver of Section 7 in any
1266
+ other respect.
1267
+
1268
+ For Licensees whose principal establishment is in the United Kingdom:
1269
+
1270
+ B.6 UCTA reasonableness. Section 12's exclusion of liability is intended
1271
+ to be given effect to the fullest extent permitted by the Unfair Contract
1272
+ Terms Act 1977 and other applicable UK statutes. Where UCTA or any other
1273
+ mandatory UK rule requires that Licensor bear some residual liability for
1274
+ a particular head, such liability is limited to the minimum amount that
1275
+ the court deems reasonable under UCTA section 11, having regard, by
1276
+ analogy where applicable, to the factors enumerated in UCTA Schedule 2
1277
+ (which apply expressly only to UCTA sections 6(1A), 7(1A) and (4), 20,
1278
+ and 21, but are treated by UK courts as commonly relevant by analogy in
1279
+ other contexts), and in no event exceeds the fees (if any) paid by the
1280
+ claimant to Licensor in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
1281
+ Liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud,
1282
+ or for any other matter not lawfully capable of exclusion under UCTA is
1283
+ not excluded.
1284
+
1285
+ B.7 CDPA. The non-commercial-research TDM exception of section 29A of
1286
+ the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 is acknowledged as
1287
+ non-waivable.

+ "Distribution" includes, without limitation, each of the following
1293

1328
+ Observable, or equivalent shared-kernel environments; SSH or remote-

1360
+ "Distribution" in Section 1. Vectors not listed but functionally analogous
1361
+ are within the definition.
