KAYA BETA LICENSE
Version 1.0 — July 2026

Copyright (c) 2026 Edward Benson. All rights reserved.

This license covers the Kaya command-line tools, daemon, editor extensions,
and related binaries (together, "the Software") distributed from
kaya-lang.org and assets.kaya-lang.org during the beta period.

WHAT YOU MAY DO

  1. Install and use the Software on machines you control, for personal,
     educational, or commercial purposes, at no charge.

  2. Keep everything you make with it. Programs you write in the Kaya
     language and the outputs they produce are yours; this license claims
     no rights over them.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO

  3. Redistribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the Software itself, or bundle
     it inside a product you distribute. (Point people at
     https://kaya-lang.org/install instead - it's one line.)

  4. Offer the Software to third parties as a hosted or managed service --
     for example, selling access to Kaya execution as a product.

  5. Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to
     the extent applicable law permits it despite this limitation.

  6. Remove or alter proprietary notices in the Software.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN

  7. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS
     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
     FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THIS IS A BETA
     OF A PERSONAL PROJECT: THINGS WILL BREAK, AND UPDATES MAY CHANGE
     BEHAVIOR WITHOUT NOTICE.

  8. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE
     LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR IN
     CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR YOUR USE OF IT.

  9. The Software invokes third-party model providers using API credentials
     you supply. Those calls, their costs, and their outputs are governed by
     your agreements with those providers.

TERM

  10. This license applies to the Software versions it ships with. A newer
      license published at https://kaya-lang.org/license governs versions
      released after it; versions you already downloaded remain under the
      license they shipped with.

  11. This license terminates automatically if you breach it. On
      termination, stop using and delete the Software.
