# PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0

<https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0>

## Acceptance

In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree
to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all
your licenses.

## Copyright License

The licensor grants you a copyright license for the
software to do everything you might do with the software
that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright
in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may
only distribute the software according to [Distribution
License](#distribution-license) and make changes or new works
based on the software according to [Changes and New Works
License](#changes-and-new-works-license).

## Distribution License

The licensor grants you an additional copyright license
to distribute copies of the software. Your license to
distribute covers distributing the software with changes
and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works
License](#changes-and-new-works-license).

## Notices

You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of
the software from you also gets a copy of these terms or the
URL for them above, as well as copies of any plain-text lines
beginning with `Required Notice:` that the licensor provided
with the software. For example:

> Required Notice: Copyright 2026 kingchenc (https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra)

## Changes and New Works License

The licensor grants you an additional copyright license
to make changes and new works based on the software for any
permitted purpose.

## Patent License

The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that
covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able
to license, that you would infringe by using the software.

## Noncommercial Purposes

Any noncommercial purpose is a permitted purpose.

## Personal Uses

Personal use for research, experiment, and testing for
the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private
entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious
observance, without any anticipated commercial application,
is use for a permitted purpose.

## Noncommercial Organizations

Use by any charitable organization, educational institution,
public research organization, public safety or health
organization, environmental protection organization, or
government institution is use for a permitted purpose regardless
of the source of funding or obligations resulting from the
funding.

## Fair Use

You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the
law. These terms do not limit them.

## No Other Rights

These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of
your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from
granting licenses to anyone else.  These terms do not imply
any other licenses.

## Patent Defense

If you make any written claim that the software infringes or
contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license
for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If
your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends
immediately for work on behalf of your company.

## Violations

The first time you are notified in writing that you have
violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software
not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless
continue if you come into full compliance with these terms,
and take practical steps to correct past violations, within 32
days of receiving notice.  Otherwise, all your licenses end
immediately.

## No Liability

***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without
any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable
to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use
or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.***

## Definitions

The **licensor** is the individual or entity offering these
terms, and the **software** is the software the licensor makes
available under these terms.

**You** refers to the individual or entity agreeing to these
terms.

**Your company** is any legal entity, sole proprietorship,
or other kind of organization that you work for, plus all
organizations that have control over, are under the control
of, or are under common control with that organization.
**Control** means ownership of substantially all the assets
of an entity, or the power to direct its management and
policies by vote, contract, or otherwise.  Control can be
direct or indirect.

**Your licenses** are all the licenses granted to you for the
software under these terms.

**Use** means anything you do with the software requiring one
of your licenses.

## Additional Permissions Granted by the Licensor

These additional permissions supplement the PolyForm Noncommercial
License 1.0.0 above. They only broaden, and never narrow, the
licenses granted to you. The text of the PolyForm Noncommercial
License 1.0.0 above is unmodified.

Use by a natural person, acting for their own personal account and
not on behalf of any third party, is use for a permitted purpose.
This includes operating an automated trading bot or trading strategy
on that person's own capital, whether or not it earns that person
money.

For the avoidance of doubt, the licenses above already let you use,
fork, modify, and redistribute the software, and file issues and
contribute changes, for any permitted purpose. Personal projects,
research, education, nonprofit organizations, government use, and
hobby trading bots are permitted purposes.

Any other commercial use — in particular the commercial sale of the
software itself, or the commercial sale of services built around it —
requires a separate commercial license from the licensor. If you want
