TIE PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.3 Copyright (c) . All rights reserved. This License may be referred to by its short name "TPL" (e.g., "TPL 2.3"). This License text is published by the TIE-LANG organization as a generic, reusable open source license. It may be adopted by any individual or legal entity (a "Licensor") that distributes or makes available work under this License, without any affiliation to, or endorsement by, the TIE-LANG organization. PREAMBLE The Tie Public License is a permissive, attribution-based open source license for works of any kind — software, documents, fonts, datasets, media, models, hardware designs, or anything else. It is general-purpose and field-of-use neutral: anyone may adopt it for any kind of work, and anyone may use licensed works for any purpose. Its principles: the Licensed Material may be used, copied, modified, and redistributed by anyone, for any purpose, subject only to the conditions of this License (Permission); attribution and notice obligations protect the Licensor, Contributors, and every rightsholder in the distribution chain, and the goodwill of names and marks is protected by the trademark provisions (Attribution); works that You author for or with the Licensed Material are Your own — this License governs the Licensed Material itself, not what You build with it (User Works); the rights of third parties whose assets accompany the Licensed Material are respected, and their notices pass through with every copy (Third parties); and the grants extend to everyone, everywhere, for every kind of use (Universality). By using, copying, modifying, contributing to, or distributing any portion of the Licensed Material, You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this License. If You do not agree, You are not authorized to use, copy, modify, or distribute the Licensed Material. SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this License, the following terms have the meanings set out below. Terms defined in the singular include the plural, and vice versa, where the context so requires. 1.1 "Licensed Material" means, collectively, any works, materials, or other subject matter of any kind — including but not limited to programs and libraries, documentation, source and object forms, examples, sample data, datasets, configuration files, build scripts, media files, fonts, models, hardware designs, and graphical assets (including logos and artwork) — that are (a) created by or on behalf of the Licensor, and (b) distributed or made available by the Licensor under this License. 1.2 "Licensor" means the individual or legal entity, including its heirs, successors, and assigns, that owns the rights in the Licensed Material and distributes or makes it available under this License. 1.3 "You" (and the corresponding possessive form "Your") means the individual or legal entity exercising permissions granted by this License. 1.4 "Source Form" means the preferred form of the Licensed Material for making modifications to it, together with any associated definition files, scripts, configuration, and documentation that are part of that form. The Source Form differs by the nature of the work: for a program it is typically its source code and build files; for a font or graphic, its vector or source design files; for a document, its text or markup source; for a dataset, the curated data together with its preparation process; for a model, its training definitions and configurations; for a hardware design, its design files. Where the Licensed Material is made available in more than one form, the Source Form is the form identified as such by the Licensor or, absent such identification, the preferred form for making modifications. 1.5 "Object Form" means any form of the Licensed Material that is not Source Form, including forms produced by compilation, rendering, export, generation, minification, aggregation, or any other mechanical transformation or translation of Source Form, whether in whole or in part. 1.6 "Derivative Work" means any work — whether in Source Form or Object Form — that is based upon, derives from, or incorporates a portion of the Licensed Material, whether verbatim or with modifications, translations, adaptations, extensions, insertions, deletions, or other changes. A Derivative Work includes only the portions thereof that originate in, or are modifications or adaptations of, the Licensed Material, and does not include separate and independent works, or works merely aggregated with the Licensed Material. A User Work that does not incorporate or reproduce Licensed Material in Source Form is not a Derivative Work. 1.7 "User Work" means any work of authorship — including but not limited to programs, applications, scripts, documents, datasets, fonts, designs, media, models, and other creative or functional works — that You author, create, produce, or generate for or with the Licensed Material, where such work is not the Licensed Material itself and does not incorporate or reproduce the Licensed Material in Source Form. For clarity: (a) a work may be a User Work whether or not it is authored by a human being, and includes works authored, generated, or rendered with the aid of the Licensed Material, including works generated by artificial intelligence systems or machine learning models used for or with the Licensed Material; (b) the fact that a User Work is authored, built, compiled, run, rendered, hosted, or otherwise materially used together with the Licensed Material — for example, a program written in a language distributed under this License, an application built upon a library, a document typeset with such tools, a font rendered in a game, or a model trained with such a library — does not, by itself, make that User Work a Derivative Work of the Licensed Material; and (c) a User Work does not include a file of the Licensed Material itself, or a modification of such a file, even if distributed as part of a User Work. 1.8 "Contribution" means any work of authorship, including any modification or addition to the Licensed Material, that is intentionally submitted by You or by any third party to the Licensor for inclusion in the Licensed Material. "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives, including communication on mailing lists, version control systems, issue tracking systems, review systems, or documentation, that is intended by the sender to be considered for inclusion in the Licensed Material. 1.9 "Contributor" means any individual or legal entity that makes a Contribution. 1.10 "Brand Mark" means the names, word marks, logos, graphic devices, trade dress, service marks, and other identifying designations that the Licensor owns or controls and uses to identify the Licensed Material, the Licensor, or the family of products and services offered by the Licensor. Where the Licensor distributes a notice file under Section 5.7, the Brand Mark includes the identifying designations designated in such notice file, but nothing in this License grants any rights in any mark not expressly designated or owned by the Licensor. 1.11 "Distribution" (and the verb "Distribute") means any act of making the Licensed Material or Derivative Works available to any third party by any means, including but not limited to sale, offer for sale, license, sublicense, transfer, conveyance, publication, uploading to a network, repository, or marketplace, inclusion in a compilation or aggregate work, public display, public performance, or provision as a hosted or managed service. 1.12 "Applicable Law" means the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which the relevant rights and obligations under this License are to be enforced, as determined in accordance with Section 12, together with any mandatory provisions of the laws of other jurisdictions that cannot be excluded. 1.13 "Third-Party Material" means any work, component, dataset, font, model, media file, or other asset that (a) is neither the Licensed Material nor a Contribution; (b) is owned, licensed, or controlled by a person or entity other than the Licensor or any Contributor; and (c) is bundled with, embedded in, or made available together with the Licensed Material, whether identified in a notice file, a third-party asset manifest (however titled, such as "THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES" or "CREDITS"), or accompanying documentation. 1.14 "Third-Party Rightsholder" means the person or legal entity that owns or holds rights in Third-Party Material. 1.15 "Affiliate" means, with respect to a party, any legal entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that party, where "control" means the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests of the entity, or the power to direct or cause the direction of its management and policies. SECTION 2 - GRANTS OF COPYRIGHT AND DATABASE RIGHTS Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Licensor and each Contributor hereby grant to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as expressly provided in Section 11) copyright license, and, to the extent database rights (including sui generis database rights) subsist in the Licensed Material under Applicable Law, a database rights license, to: 2.1 Reproduce and Use — reproduce, use, run, execute, display, perform, and otherwise utilize the Licensed Material, in whole or in part, in any medium, format, or context, for any purpose whatsoever, whether commercial or non-commercial, and in any field of endeavor, regardless of the identity, affiliation, or location of the user; 2.2 Modify — modify, translate, adapt, transform, port, and otherwise prepare Derivative Works of the Licensed Material; 2.3 Distribute — Distribute, sell, offer for sale, sublicense, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise transfer copies of the Licensed Material and Derivative Works thereof, in Source Form or Object Form, through any channel of Distribution; and 2.4 Relicense — subject to the conditions of Section 5, grant further licenses to the Licensed Material and Derivative Works thereof under any terms You choose, including the terms of other licenses, provided that no such grant is used to evade or circumvent the conditions and obligations that this License imposes upon You. 2.5 Nature of the Grant — This License is expressly permissive with respect to Licensed Material in Source Form. You are not required to disclose, publish, or release the source of Your Derivative Works, and You are free to incorporate the Licensed Material into proprietary, commercial, and closed-source products, provided that You comply with the attribution requirements of Section 5. The grants under this Section are made in addition to, and do not limit, any exceptions and limitations to copyright that Applicable Law provides, including without limitation fair use, fair dealing, and permitted quotation. 2.6 Universal Grant — The grants in this License extend to every person and legal entity, without limitation by number, identity, affiliation, geography, or field of endeavor, and to every kind of use of the Licensed Material and Derivative Works thereof. No use case, field of use, or category of user is excluded except as expressly provided in this License. 2.7 Commercial Licensing Reservation — Nothing in this License prevents the Licensor from offering, under separate terms, licenses or waivers of any of the conditions of this License (a "Commercial License"), including in exchange for a fee or other consideration. The availability of the Licensed Material under this License does not exhaust, limit, or waive the Licensor's right to grant such Commercial Licenses, and You acquire no right to require, price, or dictate the terms of any such Commercial License. 2.8 Database Rights — Where database rights subsist in the Licensed Material or its contents, the database rights license granted by this Section entitles You to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Distribute all or a substantial part of the contents of the Licensed Material, subject to and in accordance with Sections 5 and 6, on the same footing as the copyright license granted under this Section. 2.9 Moral Rights — To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and solely to the extent the Licensor holds moral rights in the Licensed Material, the Licensor waives, and agrees not to assert, such rights (including rights of attribution and integrity) against You in connection with the exercise of the rights granted under this License, except that the attribution and notice obligations of Section 5 remain in full force. SECTION 3 - GRANT OF PATENT LICENSE 3.1 Grant — Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Licensor and each Contributor grant to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as expressly provided in Sections 3.3 and 11) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise exploit the Licensed Material and Derivative Works, where such patent claims are necessarily infringed by the Licensed Material as Distributed by the Licensor, or by the making, using, or selling of a Derivative Work as such, and where the party granting the license owns or controls the patent claims or has the right to grant them. This grant applies only to patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor or a Contributor that were already held at the time of Distribution of the Licensed Material to which the claim relates, or acquired after that time except for patent claims acquired in connection with a transfer of a work that itself infringes the patent claims in question. 3.2 No Implied Patent License — Subject to and except as expressly provided in Section 3.1, this License does not grant, and shall not be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any patent license under any patent owned or controlled by the Licensor or any Contributor, whether arising from the License, the Distribution of the Licensed Material, the use of any Derivative Work, or any commercial arrangement. 3.3 Retaliatory Termination for Intellectual Property Claims — If You, or any of Your Affiliates, initiate (directly or through a third party acting on Your or their behalf) a claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that the Licensed Material, a Contribution, or a Derivative Work infringes a patent owned or controlled by You or any of Your Affiliates, then the patent license granted under Section 3.1 shall terminate as of the date such claim, suit, or proceeding is filed, except that such termination shall not apply where the claim, suit, or proceeding is in response to a prior patent claim, suit, or proceeding initiated against You, Your Affiliates, or Your products by the Licensor or a Contributor, or where it is directed against a party that has already filed such a response. This Section 3.3 does not affect the copyright and database rights licenses granted under Section 2. SECTION 4 - USER WORKS, LINKING, AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 4.1 Ownership — User Works that You create for or with the Licensed Material are Your own works. Except to the extent that such User Works incorporate or reproduce Licensed Material in Source Form as provided in Section 5, this License grants no rights in, and imposes no obligations with respect to, Your User Works. 4.2 No Attribution on User Works — You are not required to include any copyright notice, license text, attribution statement, trademark, or link to this License in, or in connection with, any User Work that You create for or with the Licensed Material, provided that such User Work does not incorporate or reproduce Licensed Material in Source Form. 4.3 No Copyleft — Nothing in this License requires You to license, publish, disclose, or release the source of Your User Works or Derivative Works under this License or under any other license, and no act of receiving or using the Licensed Material shall be construed as a consent to any obligation to do so. 4.4 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning — For the purposes of this Section, "substantial portions" of the Licensed Material means a portion that, assessed qualitatively or quantitatively, is significant in relation to the Licensed Material as a whole, or the extraction or redistribution of which would prejudice the legitimate interests of the Licensor, having regard to the nature and scope of the Licensed Material, in line with the substantial-part standard of EU database law (Directive 96/9/EC, Article 7, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union). (a) the reproduction of the Licensed Material for the purpose of training, fine-tuning (including reinforcement learning from human or automated feedback, low-rank and other parameter-efficient adaptation, and knowledge distillation), evaluating, or otherwise improving a machine learning model or artificial intelligence system (a "Model") constitutes a use and reproduction of the Licensed Material permitted under Section 2, subject to the notice obligations of Section 5.1 with respect to any retained copy of Licensed Material in Source Form; (b) the weights, parameters, and other learned artifacts of a Model so trained ("Model Weights") are not Object Form, not Derivative Works, and not Licensed Material, and constitute a User Work of the party that trained the Model within the meaning of Section 1.7. The same applies to the artifacts of Models fine-tuned, adapted, or merged on the basis of such a Model, and to any further Models derived therefrom; (c) output generated by a Model is a User Work of the person or entity that generates it, whether or not the Model was trained on the Licensed Material, and shall not, by that fact alone, be deemed a Derivative Work of the Licensed Material or subject to the conditions of this License; provided that, to the extent an output incorporates or reproduces Licensed Material in Source Form or substantial portions thereof, that portion remains subject to Section 5; and (d) no attribution, notice, or license obligation under this License attaches to Model outputs by reason of training alone. (e) the generation of embeddings, vector indexes, retrieval indices, or statistical summaries of or based upon the Licensed Material is a use permitted under Section 2, and such artifacts are not Licensed Material, not Object Form, and not Derivative Works, and constitute a User Work of the party that generated them; provided that the redistribution of substantial verbatim portions of the Licensed Material obtained through, or reproduced within, such artifacts remains subject to Sections 2 and 4; and (f) the creation, execution, and publication of benchmarks, evaluations, comparisons, or studies of or relating to the Licensed Material is permitted under Section 2, and the results thereof are User Works; and (g) nothing in this Section 4.4 limits, or constitutes a defense to, the application of trademark law, unfair competition, passing-off, or misappropriation law (to the extent not preempted by copyright law) to conduct in connection with the training, evaluation, or use of a Model, including the naming, branding, or marketing of Models or their outputs; such laws apply according to their own terms, subject to the nominative-use permissions of Section 8. 4.5 Linking and Interfaces — Incorporating the Licensed Material into a combined work by linking (whether static or dynamic), communicating over an application programming interface or protocol, loading or being loaded as a module or plugin, executing under a runtime, interpreter, or compiler Distributed under this License, or exchanging data in the formats of the Licensed Material does not, by itself, make the combined work — or any portion thereof that originates in Your own work — a Derivative Work of the Licensed Material. Such independent portions are User Works within the meaning of Section 1.7, and no conditions of this License attach to them, except that any portion of the combined work that incorporates or reproduces Licensed Material in Source Form, or constitutes a modification of a file of the Licensed Material, remains subject to Section 5. Declaring an interface, format, or protocol compatible with those of the Licensed Material, and implementing such a compatible interface, does not by itself make the implementing work a Derivative Work. SECTION 5 - CONDITIONS OF USE AND DISTRIBUTION 5.1 Retention of Notices — Mandatory. Every use, reproduction, or Distribution of the Licensed Material must retain, in each copy or substantial part thereof, all copyright, trademark, attribution, and other legal notices contained in or accompanying the Licensed Material as Distributed to You, in the form in which they appear. 5.2 Redistribution in Source Form — When You Distribute Licensed Material in Source Form, You must, with each copy, retain the notices required by Section 4.1 and either include a copy of this License or provide a conspicuous reference (such as a link) to its complete text. 5.3 Redistribution in Object Form — When You Distribute Licensed Material in Object Form, whether incorporated into a larger work or not, You must do one of the following: (a) accompany the Object Form with the Source Form; (b) provide a written offer, valid for at least three years, to provide the Source Form; or (c) where the Object Form was Distributed to You pursuant to subdivision (b), provide a reference to the source from which it can be obtained. In each case, the required notices of Section 5.1 must be retained. 5.4 Marking of Modifications — Best Effort. Where You modify a file of the Licensed Material in Source Form, You must make a best effort to indicate in that file that it has been modified from the original, provided that such marking does not conflict with the notices retained under Section 5.1. 5.5 No Additional Restrictions — You may not impose, offer, or attempt to impose, whether as a condition of Distribution or otherwise, any term that restricts, or that purports to restrict, the rights granted to any recipient under this License, or that requires any recipient to agree to additional terms beyond those of this License as a condition of exercising such rights. This Section does not prevent You from accepting, in a separate agreement, obligations beyond those required by this License. 5.6 No Endorsement — The use of the Licensed Material does not imply, and shall not be presented as implying, any endorsement, sponsorship, certification, or affiliation by or with the Licensor, except as expressly permitted under Section 8. 5.7 Notice File — Optional. The Licensor may, at its option, Distribute a notice file (however titled, such as "NOTICE") containing additional attributions, designations, or legal notices. Where such a notice file is Distributed with the Licensed Material, any Derived Work that You Distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained in it, restricted to those applicable to the parts of the Derivative Work that incorporate the Licensed Material, in one of the following places: within the Derivative Work itself, in a file accompanying it, or in a location conspicuously accessible to its recipients. 5.8 Hosted Services — Where the Licensed Material or a Derivative Work thereof is made available as a hosted or managed service within the meaning of Section 1.11, the obligations of Sections 5.1 to 5.3 are deemed satisfied if the copyright notices described in Section 5.1 and either a copy of, or a direct reference (such as a link) to, the complete text of this License are made readily accessible to the users of such service, for example in the service documentation, an "about" page, or the terms of service. Nothing in this Section 5.8 imposes on You any obligation to disclose the source of the service or of any Derivative Work operated as a hosted service. 5.9 Conspicuous Attribution — Where You incorporate Licensed Material in Source Form, or Derivative Works thereof, into a product that is Distributed to end users, the notices required by Sections 5.1 to 5.3 must be presented in a form that is reasonably conspicuous and accessible to the recipients of the product, including, where the product provides an "About", "Credits", "Legal Notices", or similar section, by inclusion in that section. Placement solely in machine-readable files, installer logs, or other locations not reasonably accessible to end users does not satisfy this Section for products Distributed to end users. 5.10 Honest Commercial Distribution — You may charge for the Distribution of the Licensed Material or Derivative Works thereof. However, You shall not: (a) represent that the Licensed Material itself is proprietary or licensed exclusively to You; (b) impose on any recipient of the Licensed Material any restriction on that recipient's rights under this License; or (c) where You Distribute the Licensed Material itself, as opposed to a Derivative Work or a larger product incorporating it, for a fee, fail to disclose clearly that the Licensed Material is also available free of charge under this License. This Section does not prevent You from charging for Your Derivative Works, additional works, services, support, maintenance, or warranties. SECTION 6 - THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL 6.1 Identification and Separate Terms — The Licensed Material may be Distributed together with Third-Party Material, which remains governed by its own terms. Nothing in this License licenses, or is to be construed as licensing, any Third-Party Material, and nothing in this License restricts, or is to be construed as restricting, the rights of any Third-Party Rightsholder. 6.2 Compliance with Third-Party Terms — Mandatory. When You use, reproduce, or Distribute Third-Party Material included with the Licensed Material, You must comply with the applicable terms of that Third-Party Material, in addition to the conditions of this License. 6.3 Retention of Third-Party Notices — Where the Licensor has Distributed a notice file, asset manifest, or documentation identifying Third-Party Material, You must preserve and convey, with every copy of the Licensed Material or Derivative Work that You Distribute, the third-party notices, asset manifests, and license texts accompanying such Third-Party Material, in a manner consistent with Sections 5.1 to 5.3 and 5.9. 6.4 No Removal or Misrepresentation — You shall not remove, alter, obscure, or misrepresent the provenance, attribution, or license terms of Third-Party Material included with the Licensed Material. 6.5 Conflict of Terms — Where the license terms applicable to an item of Third-Party Material conflict with this License, the terms of that Third-Party Material prevail solely with respect to that item, and this License continues to apply to the remainder of the Licensed Material. SECTION 7 - SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS 7.1 License Grant to the Licensor — Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution that You intentionally submit for inclusion in the Licensed Material shall be under the terms and conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this License shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement that You may have executed with the Licensor regarding such Contributions. 7.2 Representations and Warranties — By submitting a Contribution, You represent and warrant that: (a) You have the full legal right, power, and authority to grant the licenses granted in Section 7.1, free and clear of all encumbrances and third-party claims; (b) the Contribution is Your original creation; and (c) to the extent that the Contribution is not Your original creation, You have identified the third-party source of the Contribution to the Licensor in a written notice, and You have obtained, or ensured that the Licensor may obtain, all rights and permissions necessary to incorporate and license the Contribution in accordance with this License. 7.3 No Obligation to Accept — Nothing in this License obligates the Licensor to accept, incorporate, integrate, or otherwise use any Contribution. 7.4 Moral Rights — To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, by submitting a Contribution You waive any and all moral rights, including rights of attribution and integrity, that may be held by You in such Contribution in favor of the Licensor, subject always to the attribution and notice obligations imposed by this License. SECTION 8 - TRADEMARK PROVISIONS 8.1 Ownership — The Brand Mark is owned exclusively by the Licensor. This License grants You no rights of any kind in or to the Brand Mark, and nothing in Sections 2 through 9 confers, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any trademark, service mark, trade name, trade dress, or logo rights. 8.2 Permitted Use — Without prior written authorization from the Licensor, You may: (a) use the Licensed Material to create and Distribute Your own User Works and Derivative Works under Your own terms, subject to Section 5; (b) refer to the Brand Mark nominatively and descriptively in documentation, source files, presentations, marketing materials, and truthful factual statements, including statements of interoperability, compatibility, or provenance (for example, "built with [Licensed Material]", "targets [Licensed Material]", "compatible with [Licensed Material]"); and (c) identify that a User Work or implementation is compatible with, targets, or interoperates with the Licensed Material, provided that such use is accurate, truthful, and not likely to confuse any person as to source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement. 8.3 Prohibited Use — Without the prior express written authorization of the Licensor, You shall not: (a) use the Brand Mark, or any confusingly similar variant thereof, as or as part of the name or branding of Your own products, services, implementations, packages, or companies, in a manner likely to cause confusion with the Licensor or with the Licensed Material; (b) reproduce, modify, distort, or create derivative logos or graphic devices based upon the Brand Mark, including the logo and graphic assets Distributed with the Licensed Material; (c) use the Brand Mark in any manner that could reasonably imply official support, certification, endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation by the Licensor; or (d) use the Brand Mark in any manner that diminishes, dilutes, tarnishes, or damages the goodwill associated with it, or that violates Applicable Law relating to trademarks, unfair competition, or misleading advertising. 8.4 Enforcement — The Licensor reserves the right to enforce its rights in the Brand Mark by all legal and equitable means available under Applicable Law, including requesting corrective action, seeking injunctive relief, and claiming damages. SECTION 9 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY THE LICENSED MATERIAL IS PROVIDED BY THE LICENSOR AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. NO WARRANTY IS MADE THAT THE LICENSED MATERIAL WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT IT WILL OPERATE IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR HARDWARE, SYSTEMS, OR DATA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL REMAINS WITH YOU. THIS LICENSE IS GRANTED BY THE LICENSOR AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR INDIVIDUALLY, AND NO LICENSOR OR CONTRIBUTOR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER. WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO OFFER A WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE LICENSED MATERIAL, YOU DO SO SOLELY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF AND SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOU INDEMNIFY THE LICENSOR AND CONTRIBUTORS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM SUCH OFFER. SECTION 10 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES OR DAMAGES, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL BE GOVERNED BY SUCH APPLICABLE LAW. SECTION 11 - TERMINATION 11.1 Termination for Breach — This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically, without notice, upon Your breach of any term of this License, unless the breach is cured within thirty (30) days after You become aware of, or are notified of, the noncompliance. 11.2 Material Breach — Failure to comply with the mandatory attribution, notice, and third-party compliance obligations of Sections 5 and 6 with respect to the use or Distribution of Licensed Material in Source Form constitutes a material breach of this License. If such a breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after You become aware of, or are notified of, the noncompliance, the rights granted under this License shall terminate automatically upon the expiration of that cure period, and You shall cease all use, reproduction, and Distribution of Licensed Material in Source Form until such breach is cured. If the breach is cured within the cure period, this License and the rights granted hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and shall be deemed never to have terminated by reason of that breach. 11.3 User Works Not Affected — For the avoidance of doubt, no breach of this License shall be deemed to occur solely by virtue of Your use or Distribution of User Works created for or with the Licensed Material that do not incorporate or reproduce Licensed Material in Source Form. 11.4 Effect of Termination — Upon termination, all licenses granted to You under this License terminate, and Your rights to use, modify, and Distribute the Licensed Material cease forthwith. Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 11.4, 11.6, 12, 14, and 15 survive any termination. If You have sublicensed any Derivative Work prior to termination, such sublicenses survive termination only to the extent that they do not violate the terms of this License. 11.5 Automatic Reinstatement — Where rights granted to You by a Licensor terminate under Section 11.1 or 11.2 because of a failure to cure a breach, such rights are automatically reinstated as of the date on which You cure all prior breaches attributable to You, provided that You cure such breaches within sixty (60) days after You become aware of, or are notified of, the first such breach, and provided that this is the first termination of rights granted to You by that Licensor under this License. Any termination occurring after such a first reinstatement may be reversed only at the sole discretion of the Licensor, upon Your cure of the breach and written notification to the Licensor of such cure. 11.6 Enforcement Costs — In any action, arbitration, or proceeding to enforce or interpret this License, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. SECTION 12 - GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 12.1 Governing Law — The Licensor may designate the governing law for this License by a Designation as described in Section 12.2. In the absence of an effective Designation, this License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Licensor is domiciled, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. 12.2 Jurisdiction and Designation — The Licensor may, in the notice file distributed under Section 5.7, in the LICENSE file accompanying the Licensed Material, or in other documentation distributed with the Licensed Material, expressly designate, in a statement plainly identified as being made under this Section 12.2: (a) a governing law only; (b) a governing law together with the competent courts of a specific jurisdiction as the exclusive forum; (c) a governing law together with a specific jurisdiction as a non-exclusive forum; or (d) a governing law together with arbitration as the dispute resolution mechanism, under the arbitration rules of a named arbitral institution seated in a neutral jurisdiction (for example, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)). In the absence of an effective Designation of a forum, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this License shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the jurisdiction in which the Licensor is domiciled. 12.3 Election of Neutral Arbitration — Notwithstanding Sections 12.1 and 12.2, You may elect to resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this License by arbitration instead of court proceedings, by commencing arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), with the seat in Singapore or Hong Kong respectively, the language of the proceedings being English, and the tribunal consisting of one arbitrator, and by giving the Licensor written notice at or before commencing such arbitration. An election under this Section is valid only for the dispute in respect of which it is made, and does not bind any other person or any future dispute. Nothing in this Section 12 prevents either party from seeking urgent interim or injunctive relief from a competent court. 12.4 Mandatory Provisions — Where any jurisdiction requires that its mandatory laws or public policy be applied notwithstanding the choice of law made in Section 12.1, the provisions of such jurisdiction shall prevail to the extent that they cannot be excluded by agreement, and the remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.

It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the terms of this License; each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright (C) This work is released under the Tie Public License, version 2.3 ("TPL-2.3"). The full text of the license is available in the LICENSE file at the root of the distribution, or online at https://github.com/tie-lang/TPL/blob/main/tpl.txt (the canonical, always-current text of this License) and at https://tpl.franj2.top/. Where the work is interactive (for example, a command-line program), make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Copyright (C) This work comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the LICENSE file. This is free material, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the LICENSE file for details. Where the work is not a program (for example, a document, font, dataset, or model), state the notice in a credits, colophon, or license page, or in the file that accompanies the work. Always state the exact version ("TPL-2.3") in the notice. Do not use wording such as "the current version": each release of the work remains governed by the version stated in its notice, as provided in Section 14.3. If your distribution includes Third-Party Material within the meaning of Section 6, ensure that all third-party notices, asset manifests, and license texts accompanying such material are preserved and conveyed with every copy, in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3. If You intend to designate a governing law or venue pursuant to Section 12.2, state the Designation plainly in the LICENSE file or notice file, identifying it as a designation under Section 12.2 of the Tie Public License. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the work, if necessary. The Licensor's name and Brand Mark may not be used to endorse or promote works derived from the Licensed Material without the Licensor's prior written permission, or, where the law provides for such use, in a non-confusing manner in compliance with Section 8. For enquiries regarding the use of the Licensor's name or Brand Mark, please contact the Licensor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
