GlassFrame Protocol - Limited Use License

Copyright (c) 2026 GlassFrame Protocol

This is a custom, non-open-source license. It is not MIT, Apache, GPL, or any OSI-approved license, and it is not legal advice - it is a starting template. Have an actual lawyer review it before relying on it for anything commercially significant; enforceability varies by jurisdiction, and only a licensed attorney can tell you how well specific wording holds up where you and your users live.

  1. GRANT OF USE Permission is granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software (the "Software") to install and use it, unmodified, as a dependency inside their own Discord bot project - personal or commercial - subject to the conditions below.

  2. RESTRICTIONS Without prior written permission from the copyright holder, you may NOT: a. Copy, extract, or redistribute the Software's source code on its own (as opposed to using it as an installed dependency of your project). b. Modify the Software and distribute or publish the modified version, under this name or another. c. Republish, mirror, or re-upload the Software (or a renamed/modified copy of it) to npm or any other package registry. d. Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software beyond what your local law makes non-waivable. e. Remove or alter this license, the copyright notice, or any attribution notices contained in the Software. f. Resell the Software itself as a standalone product (using it as a component inside a bot you sell or host as a service is permitted; selling the library itself, or a copy/fork of it, is not).

  3. ATTRIBUTION Any bot or product that uses this Software should credit "GlassFrame Protocol" somewhere reasonably discoverable (a credits command, a footer, a README line) unless you have separate written permission to omit it.

  4. NO WARRANTY THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE, INCLUDING ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE SOFTWARE AGAINST A DISCORD SERVER OR ITS MEMBERS (bans, kicks, timeouts, role changes, webhook deletions, or any other moderation action).

  5. TERMINATION This license terminates automatically for anyone who violates Section 2; they must stop using the Software and destroy any copies in their possession.

To ask for permission beyond what's granted here (bulk redistribution, white-labeling, a different license for a specific use case), contact the copyright holder directly.
