PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS DEVELOPER TOOL LIMITED LICENSE (“LICENSE”). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES THE RECIPIENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE.

License Background

This License is intended to permit Contributors and Recipients of the Licensed Work to use the Licensed Work, including its Source Code, freely, except under the cases of Prohibited Use (as defined below). This License is designed to permit the use of the Licensed Work for development purposes to make developers’ practice of their craft and profession easier, while allowing the Owner of the Source Code to monetize the Licensed Work by other means that do not infringe on or strip developers of their right to use the Licensed Work for development purposes freely as defined herein.

1. Definitions

1.1 Governing Jurisdiction

For the purposes of this License, the Governing Jurisdiction is the State of Illinois, United States of America.

1.2 Original Author means the author or creator of the Original Work and who is responsible for its initial distribution identified as the person below.

Full Name:

Ricardo L. Pena

Email Address:

ricardo.pena@knightmovesolutions.com

Company:

Knight Move Solutions, Inc.

1.3 Original Work means the initial Source Code and binary artifacts, text files, image files, and any documentation included in the compressed file archive or root directory and any subdirectory of the package or file location containing the Source Code for the computer program distributed by the Original Author and first made available under this License.

1.4 Author means the Original Author and any subsequent Party that created Additional Work that is made part of the Licensed Work.

1.5 Contribution means the Original Work distributed under this License by the Original Author and any Additional Work originating from its Author and distributed under this License.

1.6 Additional Work means any Work, any other Additional Work, or any combination of the Original Work and any other Additional Work where the meaning of Work is defined in this License. Additional Work is identified as the difference in directories, subdirectories, files, and content of files between the Licensed Work marked with a previous Version and the Licensed Work marked with an incremental Version.

1.7 Work means:

  1. Any newly created Source Code files, binary artifacts, text files, image files, and any documentation added to the Licensed Work.

  2. Changes to any of the Source Code, binary artifacts, text files, image files, and any documentation in the Licensed Work.

  3. The removal of any Source Code files, binary artifacts, text files, image files, and any documentation from the Licensed Work, where removal is purposeful and contributes to the enhancement, improvement, or repair of the computer program or its included artifacts.

The meaning of Work excludes any artifacts that qualify as Independent Modules.

1.8 Licensed Work means the Original Work combined with Additional Work (if any Additional Work exists, otherwise the Original Work alone), such that Source Code in the Licensed Work can be used to produce a working computer program Executable and that represents a working computer program or an enhanced, improved, or repaired version of the previous computer program Executable in the case of Licensed Work beyond the Original Work. Licensed Work is identified by and distributed with a Version to uniquely identify the body of the Licensed Work.

1.9 Version means an identifier with a format that adheres to the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification defined at https://semver.org/ and is in the form of three numbers separated by dots where each number represents the MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCH respectively and may or may not include an additional label as a suffix. The rules of the Semantic Versioning specification governing the version number and “Software” will be respected as much as possible but not guaranteed under the terms of this License. The Semantic Versioning specification does not constitute a promise or obligation upon the Owner of the Licensed Work and shall only be construed as an independent guide for the value of the Version number for the Licensed Work.

  4. The right to sell or otherwise transfer Ownership Rights to a subsequent Owner;

  5. The right to audit use of the Licensed Work

1.12 Distributor means any Party that distributes the Licensed Work or any portion thereof to at least one Third Party.

1.13 Executable means a working computer program produced from the Source Code in the Licensed Work or the Source Code in the Licensed Work itself if the Source Code can be executed as a working computer program.

1.14 Independent Module means a separate software and/or data artifact that is not copied or derived from the Licensed Work or any portion thereof. In addition, an artifact does not qualify as an Independent Module but instead forms part of the Licensed Work if the artifact is a Contribution that must be included or contained, in whole or in part, within a file directory or subdirectory actually containing files making up the Licensed Work and where the Contribution is required for an enhancement or repair of the Executable from the Licensed Work to function successfully.

1.15 Larger Work means a work that combines the Licensed Work or portions thereof with code not governed by this License.

1.16 License Notice has the following meaning.

THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE DEVELOPER TOOL LIMITED LICENSE (“LICENSE”) AS FIRST COMPLETED BY THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR. ANY USE, PUBLIC DISPLAY, PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF, OR PREPARATION OF DERIVATIVE WORKS BASED ON, THE LICENSED WORK CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE AND ITS TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH RECIPIENT READS THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE. “LICENSED WORK” AND “RECIPIENT” ARE DEFINED IN THE LICENSE.

2.2 Prohibited Uses

Subject to the terms of this License, a Recipient is prohibited from the following uses:

  1. Distributing the Licensed Work independent of a Larger Work except as permitted under Section 2.5 of this License.

  2. Distributing derivative work of the Licensed Work where the derivative work is not a hidden implementation portion of a Larger Work

For example, without limiting the foregoing:

    1. where code generators that execute computer program logic using the Licensed Work as an input to produce code that originates from the Licensed Work or code that calls functions or methods originating from the Licensed Work on behalf of the Recipient after processing it through the code generator’s computer program logic or AI model, is prohibited; and

    2. in features commonly referred to as “intellisense” in some proprietary developer tools where the code from the Licensed Work is directly displayed to the Recipient without passing through any intermediary computer program logic simply as a reminder of what exists in the Licensed Work is permitted.
