Copyright (c) 2025 TJ Sweet (OrneryD)

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
of the Claudette software (the “Software”) — including its associated
documentation, scripts, and configuration files — to deal in the Software
without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy,
modify, merge, publish, distribute, and sublicense, subject to the following
conditions:

1. **Attribution.**  
   The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
   in all copies or substantial portions of the Software (including modified
   or derivative versions).

2. **Prohibited Commercial SaaS Use.**  
   You may **not** use the Software, or any derivative work thereof, to provide
   a commercial service whose primary function is to expose, operate, or offer
   *Claudette’s agent-style behavior* (i.e. automated or interactive task-solving
   assistant or coding assistant powered by an LLM) to paying users (via
   subscription, per-call fees, licensing, or other monetary or credit exchange).

   To be clear: this prohibition applies only to *commercial uses of Claudette’s
   behavior / logic in a SaaS / paid product context*. It does *not* forbid:
   - You (or your organization) using Claudette internally or on your own servers.
   - You distributing modified versions for free (as long as not used in paid service).
   - Embedding parts of Claudette in non-agent / non-assistant contexts (if the
     part is substantially transformed and not used to recreate its “agent” role).

3. **Commercial Licensing Option.**  
   For use cases that would otherwise violate Section 2, you may request a
   separate commercial license from the copyright holder.

4. **Termination.**  
   Any violation of Section 2 automatically and immediately terminates all rights
   granted by this license, including the right to use, distribute, or sublicense
   the Software.

5. **Disclaimer of Warranty.**  
   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
   IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
   FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE

   LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,
