| *This Cryptographic Autonomy License (the "License") applies to any |
| Work whose owner has marked it with any of the following notices, or a |
| similar demonstration of intent:* |

| ______________________________________________________________________ |
| |
| ## 1. Purpose |
| |
| This License gives You unlimited permission to use and modify the |
| software to which it applies (the "Work"), either as-is or in modified |
| form, for Your private purposes, while protecting the owners and |
| contributors to the software from liability. |
| |
| This License also strives to protect the freedom and autonomy of third |
| parties who receive the Work from you. If any non-affiliated third |
| party receives any part, aspect, or element of the Work from You, this |
| License requires that You provide that third party all the permissions |
| and materials needed to independently use and modify the Work without |
| that third party having a loss of data or capability due to your |
| actions. |
| |
| The full permissions, conditions, and other terms are laid out below. |
| |
| ## 2. Receiving a License |
| |
| In order to receive this License, You must agree to its rules. The |
| rules of this License are both obligations of Your agreement with the |
| Licensor and conditions to your License. You must not do anything with |
| the Work that triggers a rule You cannot or will not follow. |
| |
| ### 2.1. Application |
| |
| The terms of this License apply to the Work as you receive it from |
| Licensor, as well as to any modifications, elaborations, or |
| implementations created by You that contain any licensable portion of |
| the Work (a "Modified Work"). Unless specified, any reference to the |
| Work also applies to a Modified Work. |
| |
| ### 2.2. Offer and Acceptance |
| |
| This License is automatically offered to every person and |
| organization. You show that you accept this License and agree to its |
| conditions by taking any action with the Work that, absent this |
| License, would infringe any intellectual property right held by |
| Licensor. |
| |
| ### 2.3. Compliance and Remedies |
| |
| Any failure to act according to the terms and conditions of this |
| License places Your use of the Work outside the scope of the License |
| and infringes the intellectual property rights of the Licensor. In the |
| event of infringement, the terms and conditions of this License may be |
| enforced by Licensor under the intellectual property laws of any |
| jurisdiction to which You are subject. You also agree that either the |
| Licensor or a Recipient (as an intended third-party beneficiary) may |
| enforce the terms and conditions of this License against You via |
| specific performance. |
| |
| ## 3. Permissions |
| ### 3.1. Permissions Granted |
| |
| Conditioned on compliance with section 4, and subject to the |
| limitations of section 3.2, Licensor grants You the world-wide, |
| royalty-free, non-exclusive permission to: |
| |
| + a) Take any action with the Work that would infringe the non-patent |
| intellectual property laws of any jurisdiction to which You are |
| subject; and |
| |
| + b) claims that Licensor can license or becomes able to |
| license, to the extent that those claims are embodied in the Work as |
| distributed by Licensor. ### 3.2. Limitations on Permissions Granted |
| |
| The following limitations apply to the permissions granted in section |
| 3.1: |
| |
| + a) Licensor does not grant any patent license for claims that are |
| only infringed due to modification of the Work as provided by |
| Licensor, or the combination of the Work as provided by Licensor, |
| directly or indirectly, with any other component, including other |
| software or hardware. |
| |
| + b) Licensor does not grant any license to the trademarks, service |
| marks, or logos of Licensor, except to the extent necessary to comply |
| with the attribution conditions in section 4.1 of this License. |
| |
| ## 4. Conditions |
| |
| If You exercise any permission granted by this License, such that the |
| Work, or any part, aspect, or element of the Work, is distributed, |
| communicated, made available, or made perceptible to a non-Affiliate |
| third party (a "Recipient"), either via physical delivery or via a |
| network connection to the Recipient, You must comply with the |
| following conditions: |
| |
| ### 4.1. Provide Access to Source Code |
| |
| Subject to the exception in section 4.4, You must provide to each |
| Recipient a copy of, or no-charge unrestricted network access to, the |
| Source Code corresponding to the Work ("Access"). |
| |
| The "Source Code" of the Work means the form of the Work preferred for |
| making modifications, including any comments, configuration |
| information, documentation, help materials, installation instructions, |
| cryptographic seeds or keys, and any information reasonably necessary |
| for the Recipient to independently compile and use the Source Code and |
| to have full access to the functionality contained in the Work. |
| |
| #### 4.1.1. Providing Network Access to the Source Code |
| |
| Network Access to the Notices and Source Code may be provided by You |
| or by a third party, such as a public software repository, and must |
| persist during the same period in which You exercise any of the |
| permissions granted to You under this License and for at least one |
| year thereafter. |
| |
| #### 4.1.2. Source Code for a Modified Work |
| |
| Subject to the exception in section 4.5, You must provide to each |
| Recipient of a Modified Work Access to Source Code corresponding to |
| those portions of the Work remaining in the Modified Work as well as |
| the modifications used by You to create the Modified Work. The Source |
| Code corresponding to the modifications in the Modified Work must be |
| provided to the Recipient either a) under this License, or b) under a |
| Compatible Open Source License. |
| |
| A “Compatible Open Source License” means a license accepted by the Open Source |
| Initiative that allows object code created using both Source Code provided under |
| this License and Source Code provided under the other open source license to be |
| distributed together as a single work. |
| |
| #### 4.1.3. Coordinated Disclosure of Security Vulnerabilities |
| |
| You may delay providing the Source Code corresponding to a particular |
| modification of the Work for up to ninety (90) days (the "Embargo |
| Period") if: |
| |
| + a) the modification is intended to address a newly-identified |
| vulnerability or a security flaw in the Work, |
| |
| + b) disclosure of the vulnerability or security flaw before the end |
| of the Embargo Period would put the data, identity, or autonomy of one |
| or more Recipients of the Work at significant risk, |
| |
| + c) You are participating in a coordinated disclosure of the |
| vulnerability or security flaw with one or more additional Licensees, |
| and |
| |
| + d) Access to the Source Code pertaining to the modification is |
| provided to all Recipients at the end of the Embargo Period. |
| |
| ### 4.2. Maintain User Autonomy |
| |
| In addition to providing each Recipient the opportunity to have Access |
| to the Source Code, You cannot use the permissions given under this |
| License to interfere with a Recipient's ability to fully use an |
| independent copy of the Work generated from the Source Code You |
| provide with the Recipient's own User Data. |
| |
| "User Data" means any data that is an input to or an output from the |
| Work, where the presence of the data is necessary for substantially |
| identical use of the Work in an equivalent context chosen by the |
| Recipient, and where the Recipient has an existing ownership interest, |
| an existing right to possess, or where the data has been generated by, |
| for, or has been assigned to the Recipient. |
| |
| #### 4.2.1. No Withholding User Data |
| |
| Throughout any period in which You exercise any of the permissions |
| granted to You under this License, You must also provide to any |
| Recipient to whom you provide services via the Work, a no-charge copy, |
| provided in a commonly used electronic form, of the Recipient's User |
| Data in your possession, to the extent that such User Data is |
| available to You for use in conjunction with the Work. |
| |
| #### 4.2.2. No Technical Measures that Limit Access |
| |
| You may not, by means of the use cryptographic methods applied to |
| anything provided to the Recipient, by possession or control of |
| cryptographic keys, seeds, hashes, by any other technological |
| protection measures, or by any other method, limit a Recipient's |
| ability to access any functionality present in Recipient's independent |
| copy of the Work, or to deny a Recipient full control of the |
| Recipient's User Data. |
| |
| #### 4.2.3. No Legal or Contractual Measures that Limit Access |
| |
| You may not contractually restrict a Recipient's ability to |
| independently exercise the permissions granted under this License. You |
| waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technical protection |
| measures that include use of the Work, and You waive any claim that |
| the capabilities of the Work were limited or modified as a means of |
| enforcing the legal rights of third parties against Recipients. |
| |
| ### 4.3. Provide Notices and Attribution |
| |
| You must retain all licensing, authorship, or attribution notices |
| contained in the Source Code (the "Notices"), and provide all such |
| Notices to each Recipient, together with a statement acknowledging the |
| use of the Work. Notices may be provided directly to a Recipient or |
| via an easy-to-find hyperlink to an Internet location also providing |
| Access to Source Code. |
| |
| ### 4.4. Scope of Conditions in this License |
| |
| You are required to uphold the conditions of this License only |
| relative to those who are Recipients of the Work from You. Other than |
| providing Recipients with the applicable Notices, Access to Source |
| Code, and a copy of and full control of their User Data, nothing in |
| this License requires You to provide processing services to or engage |
| in network interactions with anyone. |
| |
| ### 4.5. Combined Work Exception |
| |
| As an exception to condition that You provide Recipients Access to |
| Source Code, any Source Code files marked by the Licensor as having |
| the "Combined Work Exception," or any object code exclusively |
| resulting from Source Code files so marked, may be combined with other |
| Software into a "Larger Work." So long as you comply with the |
| requirements to provide Recipients the applicable Notices and Access |
| to the Source Code provided to You by Licensor, and you provide |
| Recipients access to their User Data and do not limit Recipient's |
| ability to independently work with their User Data, any other Software |
| in the Larger Work as well as the Larger Work as a whole may be |
| licensed under the terms of your choice. |
| |
| ## 5. Term and Termination |
| |
| The term of this License begins when You receive the Work, and |
| continues until terminated for any of the reasons described herein, or |
| until all Licensor's intellectual property rights in the Software |
| expire, whichever comes first ("Term"). This License cannot be |
| revoked, only terminated for the reasons listed below. |
| |
| ### 5.1. Effect of Termination |
| |
| If this License is terminated for any reason, all permissions granted |
| to You under Section 3 by any Licensor automatically terminate. You |
| will immediately cease exercising any permissions granted in this |
| License relative to the Work, including as part of any Modified Work. |
| |
| ### 5.2. Termination for Non-Compliance; Reinstatement |
| |
| This License terminates automatically if You fail to comply with any |
| of the conditions in section 4. As a special exception to termination |
| for non-compliance, Your permissions for the Work under this License |
| will automatically be reinstated if You come into compliance with all |
| the conditions in section 2 within sixty (60) days of being notified |
| by Licensor or an intended third-party beneficiary of Your |
| noncompliance. You are eligible for reinstatement of permissions for |
| the Work one time only, and only for the sixty days immediately after |
| becoming aware of noncompliance. Loss of permissions granted for the |
| Work under this License due to either a) sustained noncompliance |
| lasting more than sixty days or b) subsequent termination for |
| noncompliance after reinstatement, is permanent, unless rights are |
| specifically restored by Licensor in writing. |
| |
| ### 5.3. Termination Due to Litigation |
| |
| If You initiate litigation against Licensor, or any Recipient of the |
| Work, either direct or indirect, asserting that the Work directly or |
| indirectly infringes any patent, then all permissions granted to You |
| by this License shall terminate. In the event of termination due to |
| litigation, all permissions validly granted by You under this License, |
| directly or indirectly, shall survive termination. Administrative |
| review procedures, declaratory judgment actions, counterclaims in |
| response to patent litigation, and enforcement actions against former |
| Licensees terminated under this section do not cause termination due |
| to litigation. |
| |
| ## 6. Disclaimer of Warranty and Limit on Liability |
| |
| As far as the law allows, the Work comes AS-IS, without any warranty |
| of any kind, and no Licensor or contributor will be liable to anyone |
| for any damages related to this software or this license, under any |
| kind of legal claim, or for any type of damages, including indirect, |
| special, incidental, or consequential damages of any type arising as a |
| result of this License or the use of the Work including, without |
| limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer |
| failure or malfunction, loss of profits, revenue, or any and all other |
| commercial damages or losses. |
| |
| ## 7. Other Provisions |
| ### 7.1. Affiliates |
| |
| An "Affiliate" means any other entity that, directly or indirectly |
| through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is |
| under common control with, the Licensee. Employees of a Licensee and |
| natural persons acting as contractors exclusively providing services |
| to Licensee are also Affiliates. |
| |
| ### 7.2. Choice of Jurisdiction and Governing Law |
| |
| A Licensor may require that any action or suit by a Licensee relating |
| to a Work provided by Licensor under this License may be brought only |
| in the courts of a particular jurisdiction and under the laws of a |
| particular jurisdiction (excluding its conflict-of-law provisions), if |
| Licensor provides conspicuous notice of the particular jurisdiction to |
| all Licensees. |
| |
| ### 7.3. No Sublicensing |
| |
| This License is not sublicensable. Each time You provide the Work or a |
| Modified Work to a Recipient, the Recipient automatically receives a |
| license under the terms described in this License. You may not impose |
| any further reservations, conditions, or other provisions on any |
| Recipients' exercise of the permissions granted herein. |
| |
| ### 7.4. Attorneys' Fees |
| |
| In any action to enforce the terms of this License, or seeking damages |
| relating thereto, including by an intended third-party beneficiary, |
| the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and |
| expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees |
| and costs incurred in connection with such action, including any |
| appeal of such action. A "prevailing party" is the party that |
| achieves, or avoids, compliance with this License, including through |
| settlement. This section shall survive the termination of this |
| License. |
| |
| ### 7.5. No Waiver |
| |
| Any failure by Licensor to enforce any provision of this License will |
| not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit |
| Licensor's ability to enforce such provision at a later time. |
| |
| ### 7.6. Severability |
| |
| If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such |
| provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it |
| enforceable. Any invalid or unenforceable portion will be interpreted |
| to the effect and intent of the original portion. If such a |
| construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion |
| will be severed from this License but the rest of this License will |
| remain in full force and effect. |
| |
| ### 7.7. License for the Text of this License |
| |
| The text of this license is released under the Creative Commons |
| Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, with the caveat that |
| any modifications of this license may not use the name "Cryptographic |
| Autonomy License" or any name confusingly similar thereto to describe |
