Copyright (C) 2026 THEFricadelle. All rights reserved.

This software ("Arcadia Creative Admin", the "Mod") and its source code are
made publicly viewable for transparency, interoperability, and community
contribution purposes only. Public visibility of the source does NOT make it
open-source and does NOT grant any of the rights below unless explicitly stated.

Contributions are welcome: see Section 5 and the CONTRIBUTING.md file for the
limited fork permission granted for submitting pull requests.

ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS LICENSE ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR.
No right is granted by implication, estoppel, acquiescence, or otherwise.

VERSIONING OF THIS LICENSE
Each release of the Mod is governed by the version of this license distributed
with that release. A later version of this license does not retroactively
change the terms applicable to a release you already obtained, and an earlier
version does not apply to a later release.

====================================================================
1. DEFINITIONS
====================================================================

"Mod" means the Arcadia Creative Admin software in any form, including its
compiled or packaged artifacts (.jar), source code, configuration templates,
assets, and documentation.

"You" means any individual or entity that accesses, downloads, installs, runs,
copies, or otherwise deals with the Mod or its source code, whether or not
acting within the permissions granted here.

"Author" means THEFricadelle, who holds the copyright in the Mod as a whole and
is the sole party entitled to grant, withhold, or withdraw the permissions set
out in this license.

"Contributor" means a person whose contribution has been merged into the Mod.
Contributors retain the copyright in their own contribution and have licensed
it to the Author under Section 5.2. Contributors are credited in the
CONTRIBUTORS.md file and benefit from the modpack permission of Section 5.3.
That credit is an acknowledgment of authorship of a specific contribution; it
confers no ownership or co-ownership of the Mod, no co-maintainership, and no
right to grant any permission under this license.

"Maintaining Organization" means any organization, team, group, or platform
account under which the official repository, an Official Channel, or the Mod's
public presence is hosted or operated, whether or not it is a legal entity.
Hosting the Mod under a Maintaining Organization, holding administrative rights
over that organization or over the official repository, or being described
anywhere as a maintainer, team member, or staff of the Mod:

  (a) transfers no copyright or other right in the Mod;

  (b) grants none of the permissions reserved to the Author, and in particular
      no right to redistribute the Mod, to publish a build of it, or to grant
      any permission to a third party under this license; and

  (c) does not entitle that organization or person to act as the Author under
      this license.

A member of a Maintaining Organization who submits a contribution does so as a
Contributor, on the terms of Section 5.2, exactly as any other person. Where a
Maintaining Organization is a legal entity, it holds rights in the Mod only to
the extent of a separate written assignment or license signed by the Author;
this license neither creates nor evidences such an instrument.

"Official Channel" means a distribution channel operated or authorized by the
Author — currently CurseForge, Modrinth, and the official GitHub repository and
its Releases page.

"Official Build" means an exact, unmodified artifact of the Mod as published by
the Author on an Official Channel.

"Server Operator" means a person or entity that runs a Minecraft server whose
players are expected or invited to install the Mod, including hosting providers
acting on behalf of their customers.

====================================================================
2. GRANT OF USE
====================================================================

2.1 GRANT

Subject to the restrictions in Section 3, the Author grants You a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free right to:

  (a) download the Official Build from an Official Channel; and

  (b) install and run the Mod on Minecraft client(s) and Minecraft server(s)
      that You own or operate, in any singleplayer world and on any server You
      join, including monetized servers, provided the Mod itself is not sold or
      paywalled.

2.2 DISTRIBUTION TO PLAYERS BY SERVER OPERATORS

The Mod is installed on the server by the Server Operator and is also useful on
the client, where launchers, hosting panels, or server-side sync mods may
deliver it to the players of a given server. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), a
Server Operator is permitted, without further request, to transmit the Official
Build to the players connecting to that Operator's own server — including
through automatic mod-synchronization mechanisms provided by launchers, hosting
panels, or server-side sync mods — provided that:

  (a) the Official Build is transmitted unmodified;

  (b) the transmission is incidental to joining that specific server and the
      Mod is not offered as a general-purpose download; and

  (c) all copyright, authorship, and license notices are preserved.

This permission covers delivery to that server's own players only. It does not
authorize a hosting provider to publish, catalogue, mirror, or offer the Mod as
a downloadable or "one-click install" product independently of a customer's own
server instance; that requires the Author's prior written permission.

2.3 REVOCATION

The rights granted in Section 2.1 are revocable, but revocation operates as
follows:

  (a) Revocation is individual. It takes effect only against a specific You,
      and only upon written notice from the Author to that You. There is no
      blanket or silent withdrawal of the rights granted to the public at
      large.

  (b) Revocation is prospective. It does not retroactively make unlawful any
      use that was compliant at the time it occurred.

  (c) Revocation does not, by itself, affect (i) the modpack permission of
      Section 3(b) as it applies to any compliant modpack maintained by a third
      party, nor (ii) the ability of other users to continue running an
      Official Build they lawfully obtained.

  (d) This Section is without prejudice to Section 6 (Termination), which
      operates automatically upon breach.

====================================================================
3. RESTRICTIONS
====================================================================

Except with the Author's prior written permission, You may NOT:

  (a) redistribute, re-upload, mirror, repackage, or otherwise make the Mod
      (compiled or source) available to third parties through any channel not
      authorized by the Author — this includes mod-hosting sites, modpack
      platforms, forums, file lockers, Discord servers, and torrents — SUBJECT
      TO the modpack permission of Section 3(b), the server-to-player
      distribution permitted by Section 2.2, and the contribution fork
      permitted by Section 5.1;

  (b) include the Mod in a modpack EXCEPT under all of the following
      conditions, which are hereby permitted without further request:
        (i)   the modpack distributes the Mod by referencing an Official
              Channel (for example the CurseForge app or Modrinth), so that the
              file is fetched from that channel at install time;
        (ii)  the exact, unmodified Official Build is used — the Mod is not
              altered, patched, recompiled, or repackaged in any way; and
        (iii) all copyright, authorship, and license notices are preserved.
      Bundling the file into an exported or offline pack, re-hosting it on
      any other channel, or including a modified build is NOT covered by this
      permission and still requires the Author's prior written consent;

  (c) sell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Mod itself, or
      bundle it with a paid product;

  (d) create, distribute, or publish derivative works, forks, or modified
      versions of the Mod or its source code, EXCEPT for the contribution fork
      permitted by Section 5.1;

  (e) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, authorship, or license notice
      contained in the Mod or its source, including the SPDX headers at the top
      of source files;

  (f) claim authorship of the Mod or any part of it, present it as Your own
      work, or reuse its source code — in whole or in part, verbatim or
      substantially adapted — inside any other project, product, or service;

  (g) use the name "Arcadia Creative Admin", the Mod's mod id, logo, visual
      identity, or any confusingly similar designation (i) to identify or
      promote any other project, product, or service, (ii) in a way that
      suggests affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from the Author
      where none exists, or (iii) as or within a trademark, domain name, or
      account name. Factual, nominative references to the Mod — such as stating
      that a modpack includes it, writing a tutorial, or publishing a review —
      are permitted and are not restricted by this paragraph;

  (h) use the Mod or its source code, in whole or in part, as training,
      fine-tuning, validation, or retrieval corpus for any machine-learning or
      generative artificial-intelligence system, nor include it in any dataset
      compiled or distributed for that purpose. Ordinary use of AI-assisted
      developer tooling by a contributor working on a contribution under
      Section 5.1 is not restricted by this paragraph.

====================================================================
4. SOURCE CODE AND DECOMPILATION
====================================================================

The publication of the source code (e.g. on a public repository) is provided
for reference, review, contribution, and interoperability only. It grants no
license to copy, reuse, redistribute, or create derivative works from that
source, except as expressly permitted by Section 5.1 (contribution fork) or as
strictly permitted by mandatory applicable law (for example, decompilation
strictly necessary to achieve interoperability where such a right cannot be
lawfully excluded).

====================================================================
5. CONTRIBUTIONS
====================================================================

5.1 CONTRIBUTION FORK (LIMITED PERMISSION)

Notwithstanding Section 3(d), the Author grants You permission to fork the
official source repository and modify Your fork FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of
preparing and submitting a pull request to the official repository. This
permission is subject to all of the following conditions:

  (a) the fork remains a recognizable fork of the official repository and
      keeps this LICENSE file, the copyright notices, and the Mod's identity
      (name, mod id, branding) unchanged;

  (b) You do not distribute, publish, advertise, or release any build
      (compiled or source) produced from Your fork to third parties — the
      fork is for development and review only;

  (c) You do not use the fork as the basis of a separate, competing, or
      rebranded project; and

  (d) once Your pull request is merged, closed, or abandoned, this permission
      covers no further use of the fork beyond keeping it as a historical
      record. For the purpose of this paragraph, a pull request is deemed
      "abandoned" if it has received no commit, comment, or other activity
      from You for ninety (90) consecutive days, or if You publicly state that
      You no longer intend to pursue it.

Any use of a fork outside these conditions is not licensed and falls back
under the restrictions of Section 3.

5.2 GRANT OVER YOUR CONTRIBUTION

If You submit a contribution (e.g. a pull request, patch, or code suggestion),
You grant the Author a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce,
modify, relicense, and distribute that contribution as part of the Mod under
this or any other license, without obligation of compensation.

You confirm that You are the author of the contribution, that You have the
right to grant that license, and that the contribution does not include
third-party code You are not entitled to submit.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You waive any moral rights
You may hold in Your contribution as against the Author and its licensees.
Where such rights cannot lawfully be waived, You agree not to assert them in a
manner that would prevent the Author from exercising the license granted above,
it being understood that the Author will not misattribute Your contribution to
a third party.

You retain the copyright on Your own contribution. Submitting a contribution
grants You no ownership, co-authorship, or any other right over the Mod itself.

5.3 RECOGNITION OF CONTRIBUTORS

  (a) CREDIT. Every Contributor whose contribution is merged into the Mod is
      credited in the CONTRIBUTORS.md file distributed with it. The Author will
      not misattribute a contribution to a third party. A Contributor may ask,
      through the official issue tracker, to be listed under a different name
      or handle, to have a contact address removed, or not to be listed at all.

  (b) MODPACK PERMISSION. Once a Contributor's pull request has concluded —
      whether merged, closed, or abandoned within the meaning of Section
      5.1(d) — that Contributor may include the Mod in a modpack they publish,
      on the same conditions as Section 3(b): the modpack must reference an
      Official Channel so that the file is fetched from that channel at install
      time, the exact unmodified Official Build must be used, and all
      copyright, authorship, and license notices must be preserved.

      Having forked the repository under Section 5.1 never removes or restricts
      this permission.

  (c) OFFICIAL BUILD ONLY. For the avoidance of doubt, a Contributor may never
      distribute a build produced from their own fork, whether in a modpack or
      by any other means. Section 5.1(b) continues to apply, and the permission
      in paragraph (b) covers the Official Build and nothing else.

  (d) NO OTHER RIGHT. This Section grants no right beyond what it states. It
      does not permit bundling the Mod into an exported or offline pack,
      re-hosting it on any other channel, or publishing a modified build —
      each of which continues to require the Author's prior written permission
      under Section 3.

====================================================================
6. TERMINATION
====================================================================

Any breach of this license automatically and immediately terminates the
rights granted in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3(b), 5.1, and 5.3(b). Upon termination
You must stop using and delete all copies of the Mod in Your possession, and
cease any distribution then in progress.

Sections 1, 3, 4, 5.2, 5.3(a), and 7 through 15, together with the reservation
of rights stated above, survive termination. A Contributor's credit under
Section 5.3(a) is an acknowledgment of authorship and is not withdrawn by
termination.

Termination under this Section is without prejudice to any other remedy
available to the Author.

====================================================================
7. NO WARRANTY
====================================================================

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE MOD 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.

The Mod is supplied free of charge. Nothing in this Section excludes any
warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.

====================================================================
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
====================================================================

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE
FACT THAT THE MOD IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE
LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MOD OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN IT — INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DATA
LOSS, LOSS OF CONFIGURATION OR PRESETS, GAME CRASHES, OR INCOMPATIBILITY WITH
OTHER MODS.

Nothing in this Section excludes or limits the Author's liability for death or
personal injury, for fraud or wilful misconduct (dol), for gross negligence
(faute lourde), or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or
limited under applicable law.

====================================================================
9. AUTHORSHIP AND MORAL RIGHTS
====================================================================

The Author asserts the moral rights of authorship in the Mod, including the
right to be identified as its author (droit à la paternité) and the right to
the integrity of the work (droit au respect de l'œuvre), as recognized under
French law and applicable international conventions. These rights are
perpetual, inalienable, and imprescriptible, and are not affected, waived, or
diminished by any permission granted in this license, by the public
availability of the source code, or by any termination or revocation.

The moral rights of Contributors in their own contributions are addressed in
Section 5.2, and their credit in the CONTRIBUTORS.md file in Section 5.3(a).
The Author will not misattribute any contribution to a third party.

====================================================================
10. NO WAIVER
====================================================================

No failure or delay by the Author in exercising any right or remedy under this
license, and no tolerance of any breach, constitutes a waiver of that right or
remedy, or of any subsequent breach — whether similar or not.

Any permission granted by the Author in a specific case is granted for that
case only. It creates no precedent, no entitlement, and no expectation for any
other person, project, or occasion. A waiver is effective only if given in
writing by the Author and identifying what is waived.

====================================================================
11. SEVERABILITY
====================================================================

If any provision of this license is held invalid, unenforceable, or contrary
to mandatory law by a competent court, that provision shall be reduced to the
minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or, if that is not
possible, severed. The remaining provisions remain in full force and effect,
and shall be interpreted so as to give the greatest possible effect to the
Author's reservation of rights.

====================================================================
12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
====================================================================

This license constitutes the entire agreement between You and the Author
concerning the Mod, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous statement,
description, understanding, or communication, including any wording appearing
on a distribution platform's project page. Nothing on such a page modifies this
license.

Any modification of these terms in a specific case is valid only if made in
writing by the Author.

====================================================================
13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
====================================================================

This license is governed by and construed in accordance with French law,
without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this license shall be
submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent French courts, to the
extent permitted by applicable law. Where mandatory consumer-protection rules
grant You the right to bring proceedings before, or to benefit from the law of,
the courts of Your place of residence, those rules are unaffected by this
Section.

====================================================================
14. LANGUAGE
====================================================================

The authoritative version of this license is the English text. Any translation
is provided for convenience only, and in case of divergence the English text
prevails, except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.

====================================================================
15. PERMISSIONS AND CONTACT
====================================================================

For redistribution, modpack inclusion beyond Section 3(b), commercial
distribution, or any other permission not granted above, contact the Author by
opening an issue on the official repository:

  https://github.com/Team-Arcadia/Arcadia-Creative-Admin/issues

Written permission is required and may be granted at the Author's sole
discretion. Silence is not consent: absence of a reply, or the Author's failure
to object to a use, never constitutes permission.

Only the Author can grant a permission under this license. A statement by a
Contributor, a maintainer, a moderator, or a member of a Maintaining
Organization is not a permission, whatever channel it is made on, unless the
Author has authorized it in writing.
