# Definitions

Monetization:

Monetization includes, but is not limited to, receiving any form of revenue, direct or indirect,

as a result of the Software’s presence or use.

1. Grant of License

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person (the "User") obtaining a copy of

this software (the "Software"), to use, modify, and distribute the Software, subject to the

following conditions:

1.1 Code Use:

You can only use our source code for public mods if you get permission from @yajat_kaul

Himself. And You can only use the Showdown Changes as well only if you get permission

from @treynamitv.

1.2 Commercial Use

The use of any part of the Mega Showdown Software—including but not limited to code,

assets, textures, models, or derivatives thereof—for any commercial purpose is strictly

prohibited. This includes, without limitation:

● Selling or licensing the Software or its components;

● Using the Software or its components in paid mods, paid access content, or premium

features;

● Locking any content derived from the Software (such as skins, textures, or features)

behind paywalls, donation rewards, server crate keys, or other monetized systems.

Commercial use is defined as any activity that results in direct or indirect financial gain,

regardless of whether the gain is monetary or in-kind (e.g., through donations, subscriptions,

ad revenue, or exclusive access). Any exception must be explicitly authorized in writing by

Yajat Kaul.

1.3 Modification & Redistribution

You are permitted to create and distribute sidemods—that is, separate modules, extensions,

or addons that interact with Mega Showdown but do not contain substantial portions of its

original code—without requesting permission, and such sidemods are not bound by

the Mega Showdown License, provided they do not include, copy, or heavily derive from

Mega Showdown source files.

However, if your modification or derivative work includes significant sections of code,

logic, or structure from the Mega Showdown Software—such as major systems, gameplay

features, or internal engine components—then you must obtain explicit written

permission from Yajat Kaul before distributing or publishing the work in any form.

Redistribution of any portion of the original Mega Showdown Software, whether modified or

unmodified, on public platforms (e.g., Modrinth, CurseForge) requires prior written

approval, and must include:

● Clear credit to the original author(s), and

● An intact copy of this license file.

1.4 Texture/Asset Use:

All textures, models, animations, audio, and other visual or design assets that are original to

and exclusively created for Mega Showdown are licensed under the Creative Commons

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license.

Under this license:

● You may not use these assets for any commercial purpose, including but not limited

to selling them, including them in monetized projects, or using them in

donation-based or paywalled content.

● You must provide appropriate credit to the original authors when using or sharing

these assets.

● If you remix, adapt, or build upon the assets, you must distribute your contributions

under the same CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

● Redistribution of the assets outside of the Software must clearly state that they

originate from Mega Showdown and include a link to this license.

Use of these assets in any context outside Mega Showdown must still comply with this

license unless explicit, written permission is granted by Yajat Kaul.

2. Liability & Warranty Disclaimer

The Software is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The

author shall not be held liable for any damages, including but not limited to data loss, server

failures, or other issues resulting from the modification of the Software or from the use of

modified copies of the Software.

3. License Coverage

Any and all versions of the Software released prior to June 22, 2025, are licensed under the

CC-BY-NC-SA license.

This license (Mega Showdown License 2.0) applies only to versions released on or after

June 22, 2025.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All models, animations, and textures included in the Software remain the intellectual property

of their original authors, all of which have given their explicit consent for their assets to be

used. This license does not grant ownership or redistribution rights over these assets

beyond the terms explicitly stated herein.

5. Saving Clause

If any provision of this License is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason,

then that provision shall be deemed severable from this License and shall not affect the

validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The remaining terms shall continue in

full force and effect as if the unenforceable portion had never been included. In cases where

a clause requires revision to be enforceable, it shall be interpreted or reformed to the

minimum extent necessary to make it valid while preserving the original intent of the clause.
