BeefTV licensing
================

Part A: BeefTV Source Available License 1.0
-----------------------------------------

Copyright (c) 2026 @beefnoode and BeefTV contributors
Commercial authorization: lucas@bf-labs.cn

1. Scope and existing rights

This Part A applies to new, original BeefTV-authored material first made
available under this license, starting with the commit that introduces it,
and to subsequent original contributions submitted under it, unless an
applicable file or component notice states otherwise. "Covered Material"
means only those portions that their copyright holders are entitled to
license under this Part A. A "Licensor" is a copyright holder or authorized
representative granting rights in Covered Material.

Material previously made available under MIT remains available under MIT.
This includes the existing material in commits
a96baf082f478901ed558c91a80bc29dfade523c and
2327ee2d80282b10dd8bef0f26b48990d46f5c3b, as well as any other material
previously published under MIT. The original MIT text and copyright notices
are retained in Part B. Part A does not revoke, replace, or restrict those
existing permissions, even when that material is included in a later release.
In a file containing both historical material and new original additions,
Part A applies only to eligible new additions, not the historical material.

Third-party code, dependencies, models, fonts, assets, and other independently
licensed material are excluded from Covered Material and retain their own
terms. Material whose distribution must be governed by GPL or another
incompatible license is also excluded. This exclusion does not by itself
establish that a combined distribution is compatible: distributors must
satisfy all applicable licenses and must not make incompatible combinations
without obtaining the necessary compatible permissions. See NOTICE and
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

2. Definitions

"Your Organization" means your own legal entity and persons acting solely
for its internal purposes under its direction. Customers, affiliates, and
other independent entities are not automatically part of Your Organization.

"Derivative Work" means a work that is legally a derivative of Covered
Material. Independent implementations, mere API compatibility, and outputs
do not become Derivative Works solely because they interact with BeefTV.

"External Service" means giving a third party access to operate, interact
with, or invoke Covered Material or a Derivative Work, including through a
hosted application, managed service, remote desktop, or API. Delivering
creative outputs alone is not an External Service.

3. Permitted use

Subject to these terms, each Licensor grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free copyright license to use, copy, and modify Covered Material for
personal use, study, research, and Your Organization's internal work,
including commercial work and creative work performed for clients.

You may self-host and privately modify it for those purposes. This Part A
does not require publication of internal modifications; independent
third-party license obligations still apply.

You may commercially use and deliver your creative outputs, including videos,
images, audio, and other content. The Licensors claim no ownership of your
original content merely because you used BeefTV. This does not grant rights
in pre-existing software, templates, models, or third-party material included
in an output, or determine whether an AI output is protected by copyright.

4. Community distribution

You may distribute Covered Material and Derivative Works, in source or binary
form, without commercial consideration, provided that you:

(a) include this license and applicable copyright, source, and third-party
    notices;
(b) provide the covered portions under this same Part A, without removing
    recipients' rights under it;
(c) identify your changes and distinguish modified versions from official
    releases; and
(d) do not carry out an activity requiring authorization under section 5.

This does not change the license of separable independent work or excluded
material. It does not require your private modifications to be published.

5. Activities requiring separate written authorization

Unless separately authorized in writing by the relevant rights holders or
their authorized representatives, you may not:

(a) sell, rent, license for a fee, or otherwise supply Covered Material or a
    Derivative Work for commercial consideration, whether standalone,
    rebranded, white-labeled, embedded, or bundled with another offering;
(b) charge a third party for installing, deploying, migrating, customizing
    and delivering, or operating a system containing Covered Material or a
    Derivative Work for that third party; or
(c) provide an External Service, whether paid or free, whether single-tenant
    or multi-tenant, and whether operated for profit or on a nonprofit basis.

Commercial consideration includes direct or indirect payment for these
activities. Describing software as free, bundling it as a gift, charging
installation or maintenance fees instead, or using an intermediary does not
exempt an activity that is substantively covered by this section.

These restrictions apply only to Covered Material and Derivative Works, not
to creative outputs, independent work, or independently licensed historical
or third-party material. Section 1 continues to govern the scope.

6. Independent education and advice

You may charge for independent tutorials, training, and general technical
advice about BeefTV, including demonstrations and guidance for lawful
self-deployment. If an offering also includes software resale, paid system
deployment or delivery, or an External Service, those parts still require
authorization under section 5. A course bundled with a deployed system is
not exempt merely because the payment is described as a course fee.

7. Attribution and project identity

Preserve applicable copyright and license notices. Do not misrepresent a
modified version as an official BeefTV release or claim official endorsement
without permission. This license grants no trademark or certification rights;
truthful identification of the software's origin is permitted. It does not
require a logo or watermark on your creative outputs.

8. Contributions and separate permissions

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise before acceptance, an original
contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion under Part A is provided
under Part A. For that contribution, the contributor also grants the
maintainers of the official glanderness/BeefTV repository a worldwide,
non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free copyright license to
reproduce, modify, distribute, and
sublicense it under Part A or separate commercial terms. The contributor
retains copyright. This grant applies only to rights the contributor can
grant and does not extend to historical contributions or third-party work.

Separate commercial permissions must specify their scope. Merely requesting
authorization or receiving general advice is not a grant of permission.
No maintainer can authorize rights they do not hold or represent. Contact
lucas@bf-labs.cn for requests.

9. Compliance and license versions

The rights granted by this Part A are conditional on compliance with it.
A material breach terminates the rights granted to the breaching user under
Part A. For a first breach, those rights are reinstated if the user fully
cures it within 30 days after receiving notice from a Licensor. Rights of
recipients who remain in compliance are not terminated by an upstream breach.
This does not terminate independent rights under Part B or third-party terms.

Future license changes do not retroactively alter the terms granted for a
version you already received. Apart from termination for breach, the grant
for that version continues for the duration of the applicable copyright.

10. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Covered Material is provided
"AS IS", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement.
The Licensors are not liable for claims, damages, or other liability arising
from its use or distribution, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.
Nothing here excludes liability that applicable law does not allow to be
excluded, or overrides an express obligation in a separate written agreement.

Part B: Historical and upstream MIT material
-------------------------------------------

The following original license remains applicable to previously MIT-licensed
material, including the historical and upstream portions identified above
and in NOTICE. It is not an alternative MIT license for new Covered Material
licensed only under Part A.
