Polis
Copyright (c) 2026 Oleksii Buhaiov. All rights reserved.

This is a proprietary licence. It is written in plain language on purpose: a
player has to be able to read it and know where they stand.


WHAT YOU MAY DO

You may download an official build of Polis and use it - install it, play with
it, and run a server with it, private or public, for as long as you like. No
payment and no permission is needed for that, and nothing here asks you to
register or report anything.

An official build is one published by the copyright holder: on the project's
own pages, in its releases, or in the Everdawn pack.


WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO

You may not distribute it. That covers uploading the file anywhere, mirroring
it, putting it in a modpack that somebody else distributes, sending it on, or
making it available for download by any other means. Point people at the
official pages instead - that is always allowed, and it is the whole of what a
mirror was for.

You may not modify it, and you may not build anything on it: no forks, no
patches, no derivative mods, and no reusing part of it in something else.

You may not decompile or reverse engineer it, except to the extent that the law
where you live gives you that right regardless of what this says.

You may not sell it, sublicense it, or remove or alter the copyright and author
information inside it.


PERMISSION FOR ANYTHING ELSE

Everything not granted above is withheld, and most of it is available for the
asking. If you want to include Polis in a pack, mirror it for players in a
country the official host does not reach well, fork it, or build on it, write
and ask. Written permission is what makes it allowed.


WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS

Third-party material shipped inside Polis keeps its own licence and its own
terms. The artwork by Malcolm Riley is CC BY 4.0; see CREDITS.md in this repository,
which the build copies into the jar as assets/polis/CREDITS.md and which names
what came from where. Nothing in this file takes anything away from those licences.

Minecraft, NeoForge and every other mod named in this repository belong to
their own authors and are not licensed here.


NO WARRANTY

Polis is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied,
including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose
and non-infringement. The copyright holder is not liable for any claim, damage
or other liability arising from the software or its use - including lost
worlds, lost items and anything a server does with what it records.

It writes to your world and it keeps an archive. Back it up.
