STRICTLY PROPRIETARY — THE SOURCE IS VISIBLE FOR EVALUATION, SECURITY,
AND COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION. THE COMPILER ITSELF MAY NOT BE SOLD, HOSTED,
OR REDISTRIBUTED.

PROGRAMS YOU WRITE IN SOVREN ARE YOURS. YOU MAY SELL THEM, SHIP THEM,
AND KEEP ALL REVENUE, WITH NO FEE OR PERMISSION NEEDED (SECTION 3.1.3).

This Software is Sovren: the language, its compiler, runtime, libraries,
examples, documentation, and all associated materials. They are the sole
and exclusive intellectual property of Elxan Hüseynov ("the Author").

This copy of the Proprietary Source-Visible License — Version 1.0 is
applied to a programming language. Clauses that exist in the full PSVL
text only for products with user accounts, biometrics, payments, chat,
maps, push notifications, or similar application features are omitted
here because Sovren does not provide those features. Omission does not
waive any right of the Author. The full PSVL remains the Author's
license form.

The source is made publicly visible to allow evaluation, security
auditing, performance research, learning the language, and official
contributions back to this project. Anyone may use the compiler to
build their own software, including software they sell.

By cloning, forking, downloading, compiling, or running this source
or the Software, you agree to this license. Only viewing the source
on a public host is not acceptance. Active acquisition or use is
required.

The Author does not consent to access, processing, copying, indexing,
ingestion, or training by any automated system, bot, crawler, scraper,
artificial intelligence model, or machine learning system, and reserves
all rights against such use. The limited exception for official
dependency and security tooling is in Section 2.5.

                            PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY
           (For Readability Only — Not a Substitute for the Full License)
================================================================================

This is NOT an open-source license.

YOU CAN:
  - Read and evaluate the source
  - Write programs in Sovren, compile them, run them, and SELL them.
    Programs you write are yours. You may charge for them, ship them
    in a product, run them as a paid service, and keep all the money.
    No fee or agreement with the Author is needed.
  - Use Sovren at work, including for internal company tools
  - Fork on a code host for one purpose only: to prepare and send
    the Author an improvement (a pull request). Not to evaluate,
    not to keep a copy, not for any other reason
  - Test speed, security, and correctness in a local environment
  - Translate the book or docs and send the translation back
  - Show your own contributions on your personal portfolio

YOU CANNOT:
  - Sell, host, or charge for the Sovren compiler itself, or build a
    competing language or compiler from it
  - Redistribute, sublicense, or publish the Sovren compiler, runtime
    source, or library source as your own (this does not limit apps
    you build and ship)
  - Train AI models on the source
  - Decompile or reverse engineer the official compiler binaries
  - Install the compiler itself on government, military, or
    intelligence systems (selling your apps to them is fine)
  - Use it for any harmful, illegal, or exploitative purpose
  - Put Sovren, or an app you wrote in Sovren, inside a weapons
    system, or in control of anything where a failure could kill
    or seriously injure someone — life support, flight control,
    nuclear control, emergency dispatch (Sections 4.4.2 and 4.4.6).
    These are the ONLY two limits on apps you write. Ordinary
    business software for hospitals, airlines, and similar
    organisations is fine.

IMPORTANT:
  - ALL CONTRIBUTIONS become the permanent intellectual property of
    the Author (Section 5).
  - This license is REVOCABLE for Material Breach (Sections 2.4 and 6.3).
  - You agree to INDEMNIFY the Author for harms caused by your misuse
    (Section 6.14).
  - Anyone holding a separate commercial agreement for the Software
    itself must carry CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE (Section 6.17). This
    does not apply to people who simply sell Your Programs.
  - Disputes go to BINDING ARBITRATION in Baku, Azerbaijan. You WAIVE
    class actions except where local consumer law forbids that waiver
    (Section 6.6).
  - The Author's liability is capped at USD $100, except for things
    that cannot lawfully be capped (Section 8).
  - GOOD-FAITH SECURITY RESEARCH is allowed locally, with private
    disclosure to the Author first (Section 3.3).
  - Official dependency bots (Dependabot, Renovate, and equivalents)
    are allowed (Section 3.3.4).
  - If the Author MATERIALLY CHANGES this license, you get 30 days
    notice and a right to exit (Section 6.10).

The full terms below govern. This summary is not a substitute.

                          official release.

"Author"                — Elxan Hüseynov (also transliterated as
                          Elxan Huseynov), the sole intellectual
                          property owner of the Software, including
                          authorized successors and assigns under
                          Section 6.13.

"You" / "Licensee"      — Any individual or legal entity accessing or
                          using the Software. Automated Systems and AI
                          Systems are not Licensees. The people or
                          entities that run them remain Licensees.

"Contribution"          — Any code, documentation, translation, design,
                          feedback, Pull Request, issue, or other
                          material submitted to the Author or this
                          Repository.

"Contributor"           — Any individual who submits a Contribution.

"Permitted Use"         — A use authorized under Section 3.

"Restricted Use"        — A use prohibited under Section 4.

"Sandbox"               — An isolated, local, non-public environment
                          used only to evaluate or test the Software.

"Authorized Security    — Security research within Section 3.3, done
 Research"                locally, with findings reported privately to
                          the Author before any public disclosure.

"Confidential           — Non-public information that is proprietary to
 Information"             the Author and not generally known, including
                          unpublished compiler internals and trade
                          secrets. Public or independently discovered
                          information is not Confidential Information.

"Commercial Use"        — Use of the Software itself directed toward
                          commercial advantage, including sale, rental,
                          hosting, or licensing of the Software, and
                          use that supports paid access to the Software.
                          Evaluating the Software on personal time for
                          learning is not Commercial Use merely because
                          you work at a company. Commercial Use does
                          NOT include writing, compiling, running,
                          selling, or otherwise monetizing Your
                          Programs (see Section 3.1.3).

"Your Programs"         — Source code you author in the Sovren language,
                          and the binaries produced from it by the
                          official compiler. Your Programs are yours.
                          A binary the official compiler produces is
                          Your Program even though the compiler builds
                          runtime and library code into it. Shipping
                          that binary is not redistribution of the
                          Software.

"Non-Commercial Use"    — Any use that is not Commercial Use, including
                          personal use, education, academic research,
                          and writing, running, and monetizing Your
                          Programs.

"Personal Use"          — Use by one natural person for that person's
                          own private, non-business purposes, on
                          devices they own or control.

"Derivative Work"       — Any modification, port, translation, rewrite,
                          fork, or adaptation of the Software, in whole
                          or in part. Your Programs are not Derivative
                          Works, and neither are the binaries the
                          official compiler produces from them.

"Repository"            — The official source repository designated by
                          the Author, plus official release channels.
                          Forks and unofficial mirrors are not
                          Repositories.

"Pull Request"          — A submission through the official Repository
                          (or another channel the Author names)
                          proposing changes for the Author's review.

"Material Breach"       — A breach that (a) causes or is likely to
                          cause significant harm; (b) involves any
                          Prohibited Use under Section 4; (c) involves
                          unauthorized disclosure of Confidential
                          Information; or (d) is repeated after written
                          notice. Minor good-faith breaches that are
                          promptly cured are not Material Breach.

"AI System"             — Any artificial intelligence model, machine
                          learning system, large language model,
                          generative model, automated coding assistant,
                          or related system that can ingest, process,
                          learn from, or generate output from input
                          data.

"Automated System"      — Any non-human actor, including bots,
                          crawlers, scrapers, scripts, and AI Systems.
                          Official dependency and security tooling
                          under Section 3.3.4 is not an Automated
                          System for Section 2.5.

"Trademark"             — Any name, logo, or mark associated with the
                          Author or Sovren, registered or not.

"Good Faith"            — Honesty of intent, no intent to take unfair
                          advantage, and conduct a reasonable person
                          would consider fair.

"Reasonable Efforts"    — The efforts a reasonably prudent person in
                          the same situation would expend. Does not
                          require best efforts.

"Affiliate"             — Any entity that controls, is controlled by,
                          or is under common control with the Author,
                          where control means more than fifty percent
                          (50%) of voting equity or the power to
                          direct management.

"Effective Date"        — The date the Licensee first accepts under
                          clause 9.7.1.

"Minor"                 — Any natural person under eighteen (18), or
                          under the age of majority in their
                          jurisdiction if higher.

================================================================================
                          SECTION 2 — LICENSE GRANT
================================================================================

2.1 GRANT OF LIMITED LICENSE
    Subject to full compliance with this license, the Author grants
    You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable,
    revocable license to access and use the Software solely for
    Permitted Uses in Section 3.

2.2 SCOPE OF GRANT
    No other rights are granted, whether by implication, estoppel, or
    otherwise. All rights not granted in Section 3 are reserved.

2.2.1 YOUR PROGRAMS CONTROL
      Section 3.1.3 grants you the right to write, run, ship, and sell
      Your Programs, including the runtime and library code the
      official compiler builds into them. If any other part of this
      license is read to limit that right, Section 3.1.3 controls and
      the other reading does not apply. Nothing in this license
      requires you to pay the Author, obtain permission, or sign an
      agreement in order to sell software you wrote in Sovren.

      THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS: clauses 4.4.2 (weapons systems) and 4.4.6
      (life-critical control) do restrict Your Programs, and they
      prevail over this clause and over Section 3.1.3. No other
      clause does.

2.3 NO OPEN SOURCE RIGHTS
    This license is not an open-source license as defined by the Open
    Source Initiative. Except for Your Programs under Section 3.1.3,
    nothing here grants redistribution rights, modification for
    separate publication, or sublicensing.

2.4 REVOCABILITY
    The Author may revoke this license as to any Licensee in
    violation, under Section 6.3.

2.5 AUTOMATED SYSTEMS AND AI — NO CONSENT
    The Author does not consent to access, reading, processing,
    copying, indexing, caching, ingestion, fine-tuning, or training
    on any part of this Software by any Automated System or AI
    System.

    This non-consent applies whether or not a robots.txt file is
    present. Such access is unauthorized.

    EXCEPTION: Official dependency-management, security-scanning, and
    code-quality bots within Section 3.3.4 (for example Dependabot or
    Renovate) are not subject to this clause for those limited
    purposes. The exception does not extend to training or
    fine-tuning.

2.6 LICENSE FILE PRESERVATION AND ATTRIBUTION
    Any permitted copy or fork of the Software must keep this license
    file intact. Removing or hiding it is a Material Breach. Where
    sharing the Software is permitted under Section 3, keep all
    copyright notices. This clause does not apply to Your Programs:
    you are not required to ship this license, or any notice, with
    software you wrote in Sovren.

================================================================================
                          SECTION 3 — PERMITTED USES
================================================================================

Any use of the Software not listed here is prohibited. This restriction
applies to the Software itself. Your Programs are governed by Section
3.1.3, which permits commercial use.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.1 PERSONAL & INDIVIDUAL USE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

3.1.1 USE OF THE SOFTWARE
      You may use the Software to write Sovren programs, compile them
      with the official compiler, and run the programs you wrote,
      provided you do not give others the compiler itself, do not host
      the compiler commercially, and do not monetize the Software
      itself. Shipping and monetizing Your Programs, including the
      runtime and library code the compiler builds into them, is
      expressly allowed under Section 3.1.3.

3.1.2 OFFLINE EVALUATION
      You may evaluate the Software offline solely for personal or
      authorized research purposes.

3.1.3 YOUR PROGRAMS, INCLUDING COMMERCIAL USE
      Programs you write in Sovren are your expression. This license
      does not claim ownership of the text of programs you author,
      except that the compiler, runtime, libraries, and language
      design remain the Author's.

      You may use Your Programs for any lawful purpose, including
      commercial purposes. You may sell Your Programs, charge for
      them, put them behind a subscription, ship them in a product,
      run them as a paid service, and keep all revenue. No fee,
      royalty, or separate agreement with the Author is required.

      This permission covers Your Programs and the binaries the
      official compiler produces from them. The compiler builds parts
      of the runtime and libraries into every binary it makes. You may
      ship, sell, and distribute those binaries anywhere, including
      app stores and package registries, and the embedded runtime and
      library code travels with them at no cost and with no separate
      permission needed.

      What this does not permit: giving others the compiler itself,
      the runtime source, or the library source, or shipping a program
      whose purpose is to hand the Software to someone else. The
      prohibitions in Section 4.1 and 4.3 apply to the Software as a
      development tool, not to Your Programs.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.2 EDUCATION & RESEARCH
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

3.2.1 EDUCATIONAL & STUDENT USE
      Schools, universities, students, and educators may run,
      evaluate, and test the Software for internal educational or
      academic-learning purposes. No redistribution or public
      commercial deployment of the compiler is permitted under this
      exception. Students and staff may monetize Your Programs under
      Section 3.1.3.

3.2.2 ACADEMIC RESEARCH
      Academic researchers may evaluate the language, compiler, and
      algorithms for peer-reviewed studies.

3.2.3 PERFORMANCE AND CORRECTNESS RESEARCH
      Researchers may measure speed and correctness of the compiler
      and of programs written in Sovren, and may publish methods and
      results with full transparency.

3.2.4 CODE COMPLEXITY & MAINTAINABILITY ANALYSIS
      Contributors may analyze complexity and maintainability solely
      to propose improvements to the Author.

3.2.5 FORMAL AND SECURITY ANALYSIS
      Qualified researchers may apply static analysis or formal
      methods to the Software, provided findings are reported to the
      Author.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.3 SECURITY & BUG RESEARCH
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

3.3.1 SECURITY VULNERABILITY RESEARCH
      Security researchers may conduct Authorized Security Research,
      including analyzing the compiler and runtime to find
      vulnerabilities, solely if:
      (a) all research is local and offline;
      (b) discoveries are reported privately to the Author before any
      public or third-party disclosure (other than co-researchers
      bound by equivalent confidentiality);
      (c) no public disclosure is made before the earlier of (i) the
      Author issuing a patch, (ii) written permission, or (iii) ninety
      (90) days after good-faith private disclosure with no
      reasonable Author response.

3.3.2 SECURITY RESEARCH TECHNIQUE EXEMPTION
      Notwithstanding Sections 4.2, 4.6, and 4.8, Authorized Security
      Research under 3.3.1 may use the minimum methods needed to
      identify and document a specific vulnerability, only locally,
      with full disclosure of methods to the Author, and with no
      sharing of findings without the Author's prior written consent.

3.3.3 LOCAL SCANNING
      Researchers may run vulnerability scanners and dependency audit
      tools against local copies of this Software.

3.3.4 AUTOMATED DEPENDENCY SCANNING & UPDATES
      Official dependency-update services, security scanners, and
      repository bots (such as Dependabot or Renovate) may read this
      Software solely to compile dependency graphs, detect known
      vulnerabilities, and submit update patches via Pull Request.
      This does not allow training or fine-tuning any AI System.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.4 PERFORMANCE & OPTIMIZATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

3.4.1 PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING & PUBLISHING
      You may run speed tests on this Software and publish results if
      your method, data, environment, and scripts are published with
      them.

3.4.2 MEMORY AND TOOLCHAIN PROFILING
      Contributors may profile memory and compare compilation
      toolchains on local builds to propose improvements.

3.4.3 REPRODUCIBLE BUILD TESTING
      Build engineers may verify that the same source produces
      matching binaries under matching conditions.

3.4.4 ALTERNATIVE OS TESTING
      Contributors may compile and run this Software on other
      operating systems solely to evaluate compatibility (including
      Linux, Windows, and Mac targets provided in the tree).

3.6.1 FORKING FOR PULL REQUESTS
      You may fork this Repository and change the code solely to
      improve the Software, with the Good-Faith intent of sending
      those improvements back via Pull Request. If a Pull Request is
      not merged, the fork stays under this clause if you (a) make no
      commercial use of the fork, (b) do not redistribute or publish
      the fork, and (c) delete the fork within a reasonable time if
      you will not contribute further.
      Permitted improvements include performance, security, bug
      fixes, features, documentation, translation, refactoring,
      readability, tests, and other quality or correctness work.

      You may file issues and feature requests on the official
      Repository.

3.6.3 CODE REVIEW AND FEEDBACK
      You may review official changes and send feedback through
      official channels.

3.6.4 BETA TESTING
      Users invited by the Author may test pre-release versions.

3.6.5 CONTRIBUTOR RECOGNITION
      Contributors whose Pull Requests are accepted may factually
      state that fact on a resume, portfolio, or professional
      profile. This does not grant a right to publish the
      proprietary source beyond clause 3.9.1.

================================================================================
                         SECTION 4 — PROHIBITED USES
================================================================================

Every clause in this Section 4 is a strict prohibition on the Software.
Any use of the Software not permitted under Section 3 is prohibited even
if it is not listed here. This Section restricts the Software as a
development tool. It does not restrict Your Programs, which Section
3.1.3 governs, with two exceptions: clauses 4.4.2 (weapons systems)
and 4.4.6 (life-critical control) apply to Your Programs as well.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4.1 COMMERCIAL PROHIBITIONS ON THE SOFTWARE ITSELF
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

4.1.1 NO SELLING OR MONETIZATION OF THE SOFTWARE
      You may not sell, monetize, rent, lease, or host this Software,
      its compiler binaries, or its underlying logic. This does not
      restrict Your Programs, which you may monetize freely under
      Section 3.1.3.

4.1.2 NO SUBSCRIPTION WRAPPING OF THE SOFTWARE
      You may not wrap this Software inside a paid service or charge
      for access to the compiler or language. Charging for Your
      Programs, including as a paid or subscription service, is
      allowed under Section 3.1.3.

4.1.3 NO ADVERTISING INJECTION INTO THE SOFTWARE
      You may not insert advertisements or tracking into the compiler,
      the runtime, the libraries, or any modified copy of them. This
      does not restrict Your Programs: an application you write may
      carry advertising or analytics like any other software you own.

4.1.4 NO WHITE-LABEL OR COMPETING LANGUAGE
      You may not repackage the Software as a multi-tenant developer
      platform, a white-label compiler, or a competing language or
      compiler for resale or redistribution. Building an ordinary
      multi-tenant application in Sovren, such as a SaaS product that
      serves many customers, is permitted under Section 3.1.3.

4.1.5 BUSINESS USE
      A business may install the Software and use it to write,
      compile, and run Your Programs, including for internal
      operations and for products it sells. A separate written
      commercial agreement with the Author is required only to sell,
      host, or otherwise monetize the Software itself, as described
      in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.3.1.

4.1.6 NO PAID CONSULTING FROM THIS CODEBASE
      You may not provide paid consulting or training that sells
      access to this proprietary codebase without the Author's prior
      written consent.

4.1.7 NO CROWDFUNDING FOR UNAUTHORIZED FORKS
      You may not raise funds to finance unauthorized forks or
      Derivative Works without the Author's prior written consent.

4.1.8 NO OEM BUNDLING OF THE SOFTWARE
      You may not bundle the compiler or its source with hardware or
      other software without a separate written agreement. Shipping
      Your Programs on a device, or inside another product, is
      permitted under Section 3.1.3.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4.2 CORE IP & ARCHITECTURE PROHIBITIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

4.2.1 NO REVERSE ENGINEERING OF OFFICIAL BUILDS
      You may not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the
      official compiler or runtime binaries, except to the limited
      extent mandatory law (including, where applicable, Article 6 of
      EU Directive 2009/24/EC on interoperability) cannot be
      prohibited. You may freely inspect, debug, and analyse binaries
      produced from programs you wrote.

4.2.2 NO BINARY ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL BUILDS
      You may not perform static or dynamic analysis of official
      compiled builds to extract unpublished compiler internals.

4.2.3 NO STRUCTURAL REPLICATION
      To the maximum extent permitted by law, you may not copy the
      Software's protectable expression — including distinctive
      syntax expression, original documentation, and official
      branding — to launch a competing language or compiler. This
      does not protect unprotectable ideas or methods.

4.2.4 NO SEPARATE PROJECT
      You may not use this code or a fork of it to launch a separate
      or competing language, compiler, website, or service.

4.2.5 NO SOURCE-TO-SOURCE TRANSPILING
      You may not translate or rewrite the Software's source into
      another language without the Author's prior written consent.

4.2.6 NO LINKING THE COMPILER INTO EXTERNAL PRODUCTS
      You may not statically or dynamically link the compiler, or its
      source, as a dependency inside a third-party product. This does
      not restrict Your Programs: the compiler builds runtime and
      library code into every binary it makes, and shipping those
      binaries is permitted under Section 3.1.3, including binaries
      you ship as a library for others to call.

4.2.7 NO PUBLISHING THE SOFTWARE TO PACKAGE REGISTRIES
      You may not publish the Software, its source, or the compiler to
      package registries. Publishing Your Programs, including compiled
      binaries and shared libraries the official compiler produced, is
      permitted under Section 3.1.3.

4.2.8 NO SUBLICENSING
      You may not sublicense or transfer any rights in this Software.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

      software-as-a-service offering, or host the compiler for others,
      without a separate written commercial agreement.

4.3.2 NO UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOFTWARE
      You may not distribute this Software or a derivative of it
      through app stores, unofficial mirrors, CDNs, or package
      registries without the Author's prior written consent. This
      does not restrict Your Programs: binaries built by the official
      compiler may be published anywhere, including app stores and
      package registries (Section 3.1.3).

4.3.3 NO P2P OR TORRENT DISTRIBUTION
      You may not distribute this Software through peer-to-peer
      networks or torrents.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

4.4.1 NO OPERATIONAL GOVERNMENT USE OF THE SOFTWARE
      A government entity may not install or operate the Software
      itself (the compiler and its source) without a separate written
      agreement. This does not prohibit non-operational evaluation or
      classroom use by public universities as permitted under Sections
      3.2 and 3.9, or compelled legal access under Section 3.9.4, and
      it does not prohibit anyone from selling or supplying Your
      Programs to a government buyer.

4.4.2 NO MILITARY OR INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONAL USE
      The Software itself may not be deployed operationally by any
      military, defense contractor, weapons program, or intelligence
      agency, and Your Programs may not be used in a weapons system.
      Purely academic non-operational study is not prohibited.

4.4.3 NO LAW ENFORCEMENT USE WITHOUT LAWFUL AUTHORIZATION
      This Software may not be used by law enforcement for
      investigative or surveillance purposes without a lawfully
      issued warrant or equivalent order, and prior notice to the
      Author where lawfully permitted.

4.4.4 NO MASS SURVEILLANCE OR PREDICTIVE POLICING
      This Software may not be used for population-level surveillance,
      predictive policing, or social credit systems.

4.4.5 NO EXPORT TO SANCTIONED JURISDICTIONS
      This Software may not be exported or made accessible to any
      country, person, or entity subject to sanctions administered by
      Azerbaijan, the United Nations Security Council, the European
      Union, the United States (OFAC), or the United Kingdom (OFSI),
      as those lists stand at the time of the export or access.

4.4.6 NO LIFE-CRITICAL CONTROL USE
      Neither the Software nor Your Programs may be used as a
      controlling component where a failure could cause death,
      injury, or severe environmental harm, including life support,
      flight control, nuclear control, weapons, and emergency
      dispatch. Ordinary business software for organisations in
      these industries, such as scheduling, billing, records, or
      reporting, is not restricted by this clause. The Software
      carries no warranty for any such use. See also clause 7.5.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4.5 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROHIBITIONS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

4.5.1 NO AI TRAINING ON SOURCE CODE
      You may not copy, scrape, or use the Software's source (or any

    By submitting any Contribution you irrevocably assign to Elxan
    Hüseynov, effective on submission and whether or not later
    accepted, full, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free
    ownership of all intellectual property rights in that
    Contribution.

    FALLBACK LICENSE WHERE ASSIGNMENT IS NOT PERMITTED: Where a
    jurisdiction does not permit assignment of a right (including
    moral rights), you instead grant the Author an exclusive,
    perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable,
    sublicensable license to exercise that right to the maximum
    extent permitted, and you waive assertion of moral rights
    against the Author to the maximum extent permitted.

5.3 PATENT NON-ASSERTION
    By submitting a Contribution, you covenant not to assert patent
    claims against Elxan Hüseynov or authorized users based on
    intellectual property in that Contribution.

5.4 REPRESENTATION OF ORIGINALITY
    You represent that the Contribution is your original work, that
    you have the right to assign it, that it does not infringe third
    parties, and that it contains no malicious code.

5.5 NO OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT OR CREDIT
    The Author need not review, accept, merge, or credit any
    Contribution.

5.6 SURVIVAL OF ASSIGNMENT
    Clauses 5.2 and 5.3 survive termination, amendment, and change
    of control of the Author.

================================================================================
                   SECTION 6 — LEGAL & STRUCTURAL PROVISIONS
================================================================================

6.1 GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
    This license is governed by the laws of Azerbaijan, without
    regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 6.6, the
    courts of Azerbaijan have exclusive jurisdiction over matters
    not subject to arbitration.

6.2 SEVERABILITY
    If any provision is held invalid, the rest remains in force. The
    invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent needed
    to make it valid while preserving the Author's intent, or
    severed if modification is not possible.

6.3 LICENSE TERMINATION
    6.3.1 This license terminates automatically upon Material Breach.
    6.3.2 For non-Material Breaches, the Author shall give written
          notice and thirty (30) days to cure, where reasonably
          practicable. If not cured, the license ends at the close of
          that period. No cure period applies to Material Breach,
          imminent harm, child exploitation, criminal activity, or
          repeated violations.
    6.3.3 The Author may also terminate as to any Licensee in violation
          upon written notice under clause 6.5.
    6.3.4 Upon termination you must cease all use of the Software,
          delete all copies and forks of the Software in your control,
          destroy Derivative Works of the Software, and certify
          compliance within fourteen (14) days if the Author asks.
          Termination does not require you to withdraw, recall, delete,
          or stop selling Your Programs that were already built and
          shipped, and it does not affect your customers' right to
          keep using them. You simply may not compile new ones.
    6.3.5 Termination does not limit other remedies.

6.4 POST-TERMINATION SURVIVAL
    These survive termination: Section 1 (as needed), Section 4,
    Section 5 (clauses 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.6), Sections 6.1, 6.2,
    6.3.4, 6.6, 6.9, 6.14, 6.15, 6.17, 6.18 (for any commercial
    agreement), Section 7, and Section 8.

6.5 NOTICE
    Notices shall be in writing by email to the Author's official
    contact on the official Repository, or by post to the Author's
    last known address. Email is deemed delivered on the earlier of
    confirmed receipt and three (3) business days if not returned.
    Post is deemed delivered five (5) business days after dispatch.

6.6 DISPUTE RESOLUTION & ARBITRATION
    6.6.1 Disputes shall be finally settled by binding arbitration,
          except as provided in 6.6.5.
    6.6.2 A single arbitrator shall be agreed, or if not agreed
          within thirty (30) days, appointed by a recognized
          arbitration institution.
    6.6.3 Arbitration shall be in English, seated in Baku,
          Azerbaijan, under applicable international arbitration
          rules.
    6.6.4 The award is final and enforceable. Appeal is waived except
          for fraud or manifest error of law.
    6.6.5 The Author may seek emergency injunctive relief to prevent
          irreparable harm without waiving arbitration.
    6.6.6 CLASS-ACTION WAIVER. Disputes are individual. Neither party
          may bring a class, collective, or representative action,
          except where mandatory consumer law forbids that waiver, in
          which case this clause applies only to the maximum extent
          permitted.

6.7 WAIVER
    Delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. Any waiver must be
    in writing and signed by the Author.

6.8 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
    This license is the entire agreement as to the Software. Informal
    comments do not change it. The only way to change it is a formal
    amendment under clause 6.10.

    6.9.2 You represent that you are not in, under the control of, or
          a national of a sanctioned country or on a prohibited-party
          list, and that you will not export this Software to a
          sanctioned person or place.
    6.9.3 You are responsible for complying with export and privacy
          laws that apply to you.

6.10 AMENDMENTS
     6.10.1 The Author may amend this license by publishing a new
            version in the official Repository.
     6.10.2 For non-material changes, continued use after publication
            is acceptance.
     6.10.3 For MATERIAL changes (expanded obligations, reduced
            rights, dispute-resolution changes, or Section 5
            changes):
            (a) the Author shall use Reasonable Efforts to give
            notice via the Repository and, where email is known,
            by email;
            (b) changes take effect no earlier than thirty (30) days
            after publication;
            (c) continued use after that date is acceptance if you
            had a reasonable chance to review;
            (d) if you do not accept, you may stop all use within
            the 30-day window, subject only to surviving
            obligations;
            (e) prior versions shall remain accessible.
     6.10.4 Contributions accepted under a prior version stay under
            that version's assignment terms.

6.11 FORCE MAJEURE
     The Author is not liable for failure caused by events beyond
     reasonable control, including war, disaster, pandemic,
     governmental action, cyberattack, or widespread infrastructure
     failure.

     data to the Author or the Repository. If you discover such
     data, notify the Author and stop processing it.

6.13 ASSIGNMENT
     6.13.1 The Author may assign this license to a successor or
            Affiliate. Where practicable, notice will be published
            in the Repository. The assignee must take on the
            Author's obligations and may not impose more burdensome
            terms on existing Licensees except under clause 6.10.3.
     6.13.2 Licensees may not assign this license without prior
            written consent, except by operation of law if the
            transferee is bound.
     6.13.3 If the Author dies or ceases to exist without a named
            successor, rights pass to legal heirs or statutory
            successors under applicable law.

6.14 INDEMNIFICATION
     6.14.1 You will indemnify the Author against claims, damages,
            and reasonable legal costs arising from your Material
            Breach, illegal use, negligence or willful misconduct,
            infringing Contributions, or unauthorized distribution,
            in proportion to your fault, and not for the Author's
            own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.
     6.14.2 The Author shall give prompt notice of an indemnified
            claim. Failure to notify does not relieve you except to
            the extent you are materially prejudiced.
     6.14.3 You may assume defense of an indemnified claim at your
            expense. The Author shall cooperate reasonably.

6.15 CONFIDENTIALITY
     6.15.1 You may gain access to Confidential Information.
     6.15.2 You will protect it with at least reasonable care, not
            disclose it without prior written consent, use it only

            it and are bound to equivalent confidentiality.
     6.15.3 These duties do not apply to information that is public
            through no fault of yours, already known without duty,
            independently developed, or required by law (with
            prompt notice where legally permitted).
     6.15.4 These duties last five (5) years after termination, or
            longer for information that remains a trade secret.

     6.17.1 Any entity with a separate written commercial agreement
            must maintain cyber-liability insurance for the life of
            that agreement.
     6.17.2 Minimum coverage is USD $1,000,000 per occurrence, or
            such other amount as the commercial agreement states.
     6.17.3 Certificates shall be provided within fourteen (14) days
            of request.
     6.17.4 Failure to maintain insurance is a material breach of
            the commercial agreement.
     6.17.5 The Author may revoke a commercial license for Material
            Breach, insurance failure, unpaid fees after thirty
            (30) days' notice, or other grounds in that agreement.

================================================================================

9.1 HEADINGS
    Headings are for convenience only.

9.2 LANGUAGE
    English is the controlling version. If a translation conflicts,
    English prevails, except where mandatory local law requires a
    local-language version to control, and then only to that
    minimum extent.

9.3 NO PARTNERSHIP
    This license creates no partnership, employment, or agency.

9.4 THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
    No third-party enforcement rights except as stated.

9.5 TRADEMARK NOTICE
    All Trademarks associated with Sovren are the exclusive
    property of Elxan Hüseynov. No right to use them is granted
    except under clause 3.7.3.

9.6 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES
    The Author's remedies are cumulative.

9.7 ACCEPTANCE METHODS
    9.7.1 Acceptance occurs when you do an act that is clearly
          acceptance of THIS license, including: cloning this
          Repository; forking it; downloading files with intent to
          use or evaluate; compiling or running the Software;
          submitting a Pull Request; or using a control that
          specifically names this license.
          Generic buttons such as "OK" or "Continue" are not
          acceptance unless the interface clearly presents the act
          as acceptance of this license.
    9.7.2 Only viewing the source on a public host is not
          acceptance.

    9.7.4 The Author does not consent to Automated System or AI
          System access, subject to Section 2.5.

9.8 INTERPRETATION
    Ambiguity shall be resolved consistent with the Author's stated
    intent: protection of intellectual property and of the Software,
    to the extent consistent with the governing law. This rule does
    not apply to Section 3.1.3. Any ambiguity about whether you may
    write, run, ship, or sell Your Programs shall be resolved in
    favour of permitting it, as clause 2.2.1 requires. This
    permissive rule does not extend to clauses 4.4.2 and 4.4.6.
