NeroCreatures License

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

"NeroCreatures" (the "Mod") means this Minecraft modification, including its

source code, compiled builds (jars), textures, models, sounds, names, and

all other original assets in this repository.

"Official Sources" means the distribution channels operated or authorised

by the copyright holder, currently:

- CurseForge: <https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/nerocreatures>

- Modrinth: <https://modrinth.com/mod/nerocreatures>

- GitHub releases: <https://github.com/Neroland/nerocreatures/releases>

The Mod is source-available, not open source: you can read and learn from

everything here, but the rights granted below are the only rights granted.

1. WHAT YOU MAY DO (no permission needed)

-----------------------------------------

a) USE & PLAY. Use the Mod in single-player or on any server, private or

public, free or monetised.

b) MODPACKS — allowed and encouraged. You may include the Mod in any

modpack, on any platform (CurseForge, Modrinth, private packs, server

packs), without asking first, provided that:

- the Mod's jar is the unmodified official file, originating from an

Official Source (packs that reference the official file by

download — e.g. CurseForge/Modrinth pack manifests — satisfy this

automatically);

- you do not present the Mod as your own work; and

- the pack's listing credits "NeroCreatures by Neroland" with links to

the CurseForge page above and the GitHub repository

(<https://github.com/Neroland/nerocreatures>).

c) CONTENT CREATION & COMMERCIAL USE. Create and monetise videos, streams,

screenshots, reviews, and other content featuring the Mod, and run the

Mod in commercial settings (e.g. monetised servers or events), provided

every copy of the Mod involved was obtained from an Official Source (or

through a modpack permitted by section 1(b)).

d) SOURCE ACCESS & PRIVATE FORKS. View the source, fork the repository on

GitHub, and modify the Mod for your own private use (yourself and your

own server's players). Private modified builds must not be distributed

further.

e) CONTRIBUTIONS. Submit issues and pull requests. By submitting a

contribution you grant the copyright holder a perpetual, worldwide,

royalty-free licence to use, modify, distribute, and relicense that

contribution as part of the Mod.

2. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO (without prior written permission)

-----------------------------------------

a) REDISTRIBUTION. Do not re-upload, mirror, re-host, or otherwise

redistribute the Mod's builds (original or modified) outside the

Official Sources, except as allowed by section 1(b) for modpacks.

This includes "rehost" sites and publishing builds of a fork — under

this name or any other name.

b) DERIVATIVE WORKS. Do not use the Mod's code, textures, models, or

other assets in other projects, whether or not modified.

c) MISREPRESENTATION. Do not claim authorship of the Mod or imply

endorsement by the copyright holder.
