2. NON-COMMERCIAL USE GRANT

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Author hereby
grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, copy,
modify, and distribute the Software and Derivative Works for Non-Commercial
Use, provided that you:

  (a) retain all copyright notices, this License text, and any other
      notices of attribution in all copies or substantial portions of the
      Software;
  (b) clearly mark any modifications as changed from the original Software;
  (c) distribute any Derivative Work under the terms of this same License.


3. COMMERCIAL USE — ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED

Any Commercial Use of the Software or a Derivative Work is permitted only
if the Attribution requirements set forth in Section 4 are fully satisfied.

If such use also constitutes Business Use as defined in Section 1, the
requirements of Section 5 apply in addition to (and not instead of) the
requirements of this Section and Section 4.


4. ATTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

Any person or entity engaged in Commercial Use of the Software or a
Derivative Work must provide Attribution that includes ALL of the
following:

  (a) the text "Powered by Alucard" or "Built with
      Alucard";
  (b) a clickable hyperlink to https://github.com/evilsocket/alucard
      (where technically feasible; if not feasible, the
      full URL must be displayed as plain text);
  (c) the text "Created by Simone Margaritelli".

The Attribution must be clearly visible to end users and must appear in at
least one of the following locations:

  (a) the primary user interface of the product or service (for example,
      a page footer, an "about" page, or a sidebar);
  (b) the landing page or main documentation page of the product or
      service;
  (c) if the product or service has no user interface, in the README file
      or primary documentation distributed with it.

The Attribution must NOT be hidden behind multiple clicks, placed in fine
print, rendered in a color or size that makes it difficult to read, or
otherwise obscured from reasonable view.

The Attribution must remain in place for the entire duration of the
Commercial Use.


5. BUSINESS USE — COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT REQUIRED

Any Business Use of the Software or a Derivative Work requires a separate
written commercial agreement signed by the Author. To obtain a commercial
agreement, contact the Author at the email address identified at the top
of this License.

Use of the Software or a Derivative Work for Business Use without such a
signed agreement constitutes a violation of this License and an
infringement of the Author's copyright.

This requirement applies regardless of whether the Business Use also
satisfies the Attribution requirements of Sections 3 and 4.

pull requests, patches, and issue reports containing code) are licensed

use, reproduce, modify, distribute, sublicense, and otherwise exploit the
contribution under any terms the Author sees fit, including under licenses
other than this one.


7. TERMINATION

Your rights under this License terminate automatically and without notice
upon any violation of its terms. Upon termination, you must immediately
cease all use, copying, modification, and distribution of the Software and
any Derivative Works.

If you cure a violation within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice
from the Author, and if such violation is your first violation of this
License, your rights under this License shall be reinstated.

The Author reserves the right to pursue any and all available legal
remedies for any violation of this License, including but not limited to
injunctive relief and damages.
