"Licensor" means Progralink Łukasz Nawojczyk.

"You" means the individual or entity exercising rights under this license.

"Commercial Use" means any use of the Software for the benefit of a for-profit
entity or in connection with any revenue-generating activity. This includes,

during work hours or on company projects, use in a product or service offered

2. Grant of License

By using, copying, modifying, or distributing the Software, You accept and
agree to be bound by all terms of this license. If You do not agree, You may
not use the Software.

Subject to the terms of this license, the Licensor grants You a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the
Software solely for Permitted Purposes. You must retain this license notice
and copyright notice in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.


3. Permitted Purposes

You may use the Software free of charge for the following purposes:

(a) Personal Use -- hobby projects, private experimentation, learning,
    self-education, and personal research unrelated to any for-profit activity.

(b) Educational and Academic Use -- use by students, teachers, researchers,
    and educational institutions for teaching, coursework, academic research,
    and institutional purposes, regardless of the institution's funding source.

(c) Evaluation -- evaluating the Software to determine whether it meets your
    needs for potential commercial adoption. Evaluation does not have a time
    limit, but deploying the Software for ongoing Commercial Use requires a
    Commercial License.


4. Commercial Use Restriction

Commercial Use of the Software requires a separate Commercial License obtained
from the Licensor. Using the Software without a Commercial License for any
purpose that falls outside the Permitted Purposes defined in Section 3 is a
violation of this license. For clarity, using the Software as a development
tool or environment in connection with a for-profit activity constitutes
Commercial Use, regardless of whether the projects being developed are
open-source.

creating, selling, renting, licensing, relicensing, sublicensing, or
distributing a product or service that is substantially similar to the

development environment for running AI coding agents).

not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. You represent
that You have the right to grant the licenses above.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, You agree not to exercise Your moral
rights in Your Contribution in a manner that would prevent the Licensor from
using, modifying, sublicensing, or distributing the Contribution as permitted
under this section. This does not affect Your right to be identified as the
author of Your Contribution.
