MULTI-LAYERED LICENSE AGREEMENT
Copyright (c) 2026 Eeshvar Das (Erik Douglas Ward)

Disclaimer: The author of this repository is an independent computer science researcher currently seeking certification in Machine Learning Engineering, not a legal professional. This multi-layered license is an experimental, boundary-aware framework designed to enforce strict technical and ethical constraints on machine learning systems. For the purposes of this agreement, the "Licensor" is Eeshvar Das.

This repository is governed by a stacked, multi-layered licensing framework. By accessing, modifying, distributing, or deploying this software or its associated machine learning models, the Licensee agrees to be bound simultaneously by the following two licenses, presented consecutively within this document:
The OpenRAIL License (with Custom Attachment A: Use Restrictions) — Governing copyright, model deployment, mandatory Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) evaluation, transparency, and safety telemetry feedback.
The Hippocratic License, Version 3.0 (HLOS) — Governing patent grants, human rights boundaries, systemic physical impacts, and the 1:10B+ baseline.

Bifurcated Termination for Violations:
Because this framework governs both strict technical operations and broader systemic impacts, termination conditions are scoped to the specific layer breached:
Technical/Behavioral Violations: Any violation of the technical mandates outlined in the OpenRAIL Addendum (Attachment A) immediately and automatically revokes all rights and permissions granted by this entire agreement.
Systemic/Human Rights Violations: Any violation of the broader ethical and human rights boundaries outlined in the Hippocratic License (HLOS) is subject to the 30-day remedy window explicitly defined in Section 7.1 of the HLOS text, protecting the structural intentions of that specific license.

Global Severability: 
If any specific layer, clause, or technical mandate of this multi-layered agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining layers and clauses.



# LAYER 1: OPEN RESPONSIBLE AI LICENSE (OpenRAIL) Base

**Section I: DEFINITIONS**

* **"License"** means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and Distribution as defined in this document.
* **"Data"** means a collection of information extracted from the dataset used with the Model, including to train, pretrain, or otherwise evaluate the Model.
* **"Model"** means any accompanying machine-learning-based assemblies (including checkpoints), consisting of learnt weights, parameters (including optimizer states), corresponding to the model architecture as embodied in the Source Code.
* **"Derivatives of the Model"** means all modifications to the Model, works based on the Model, or any other machine learning model which is created or initialized by transfer of patterns of the weights, parameters, activations or output of the Model, to the other model, in order to cause the other model to perform similarly to the Model, including—but not limited to—distillation methods entailing the use of intermediate data representations or methods based on the generation of synthetic data by the Model for training the other model.
* **"Output"** means the results of operating a Model as embodied in informational content resulting therefrom.
* **"Source Code"** means the accompanying software and scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the Model, and used to prepare data for training or evaluation.
* **"Distribution"** means any transmission, reproduction, publication or other sharing of the Model or Derivatives of the Model to a third party, including providing the Model as a hosted service made available by electronic or other remote means.

**Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS**

Both copyright and patent grants apply to the Model, Derivatives of the Model and Source Code. The Model and Source Code are subject to this License.

* **Grant of Copyright License.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Model, Derivatives of the Model, and Source Code.
* **Grant of Patent License.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Model and Source Code.

**Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION**

* **Distribution and Redistribution.** You may host for third-party remote access purposes, reproduce and distribute copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model, and Source Code thereof, in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the following conditions:
  1. You must give any third party recipients of the Model, Derivatives of the Model, or Source Code a copy of this License;
  2. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files;
  3. You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices.

* **Use-based restrictions.** The restrictions set forth in Attachment A are considered use-based restrictions. Therefore You cannot use the Model, Derivatives of the Model, and Source Code for any specified restricted uses. You may use the Model subject to this License, including only for lawful purposes and in accordance with the License. You shall require all of Your users and licensees who use the Model, Derivatives of the Model, or Source Code to comply with the terms of Attachment A.

**Section IV: DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY**

* **Disclaimer of Warranty.** Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Model and Source Code on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the Model and Source Code and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
* **Limitation of Liability.** In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the Model and Source Code.


ATTACHMENT A: USE RESTRICTIONS AND CUSTOM DEFINITIONS

Attribution Notice: This structure utilizes the OPEN RESPONSIBLE AI LICENSE (OpenRAIL) framework (https://www.licenses.ai/). While the core OpenRAIL Base handles standard copyright and distribution, this specific Attachment A has been heavily customized by the Licensor to enforce strict, novel mathematical boundaries.

Custom Definition - The 1:10B+ Baseline:
For the purposes of these restrictions, the "1:10B+ baseline" is the formal mathematical safety threshold requiring that the probability of the Model generating autonomous decisions or outputs that result in critical systemic failures, physical harm, ecocide, or deviations from the ethical boundaries established herein is demonstrably less than one in ten billion ($10^{-10}$). This threshold mathematically necessitates the inclusion and protection of undocumented, unrepresented, or statistically anomalous human populations, and strictly extends this Duty of Care to the broader planetary ecosystem, biosphere, and all lifeforms protected under the embedded Hippocratic License (HLOS).

The Licensee agrees not to use the Model or Derivatives of the Model:
1. Fully Autonomous Deployment (HITL Mandate): To process, generate, or execute decisions impacting human rights, civil liberties, or physical safety without active, mathematically verifiable Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) 🧑‍💻 cognitive evaluation and approval.
2. Concealment of Boundary Deviations (Telemetry Mandate): To continue operating the Model if it demonstrates behaviors, quirks, or outputs that deviate from the safe 1:10B+ baseline, without immediately reporting said telemetry 📊 back to the source repository.
3. Violation of Localized Sovereignty: To construct telemetry or feedback pipelines that scrape, extract, or transmit a developer’s localized, proprietary, or sovereign data 🔒 without explicit, opt-in cryptographic consent.
4. Opaque Network Deployment (Transparency Mandate) ☁️: To deploy the Model or Derivatives of the Model over a network, API, or web service if the active Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) 🧑‍💻 required by the Fully Autonomous Deployment (HITL Mandate) has altered the underlying code to correct a boundary deviation or sovereignty conflict, without publicly sharing both the modified source code and a detailed post-mortem explaining why the adjustment was necessary for the 1:10B+ baseline.

entities, and the right to a private right of action that those individuals or
entities possess as a result of violations of the Ethical Standards section.

4.1. In addition to the above Ethical Standards, Licensee voluntarily accepts a
Duty of Care for Supply Chain Impacted Parties of this License, including
individuals and communities impacted by violations of the Ethical Standards. The
Duty of Care is breached when a provision within the Ethical Standards section
is violated by a Licensee, one of its successors or assigns, or by an individual
or entity that exists within the Supply Chain prior to a good or service
reaching the Licensee.

4.2. Breaches of the Duty of Care, as stated within this section, shall create a
private right of action, allowing any Supply Chain Impacted Party harmed by the
Licensee to take legal action against the Licensee in accordance with applicable
negligence laws, whether they be in tort law, delict law, and/or similar bodies
of law closely related to tort and/or delict law, regardless if Licensee is
directly responsible for the harms suffered by a Supply Chain Impacted Party.
Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to include acts committed by
individuals outside of the scope of his/her/their employment.

5. NOTICE: This section explains when a Licensee must notify others of the
License.

LICENSEE TO INDEMNIFY LICENSOR, NOR REQUIRE LICENSOR TO INDEMNIFY LICENSEE.

7. TERMINATION

7.1. Violations of Ethical Standards or Breaching Duty of Care: If Licensee
violates the Ethical Standards section or Licensee, or any other person or
entity within the Supply Chain prior to a good or service reaching the Licensee,
breaches its Duty of Care to Supply Chain Impacted Parties, Licensee must remedy
the violation or harm caused by Licensee within 30 days of being notified of the
violation or harm. If Licensee fails to remedy the violation or harm within 30
days, all rights in the Software granted to Licensee by License will be null and
void as between Licensor and Licensee.

7.2. Failure of Notice: If any person or entity notifies Licensee in writing
that Licensee has not complied with the Notice section of this License, Licensee
can keep this License by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days
after the notice of noncompliance. If Licensee does not do so, Licensee’s
License (and all rights licensed hereunder) will end immediately.

7.3. Judicial Findings: In the event Licensee is found by a civil, criminal,
administrative, or other court of competent jurisdiction, or some other
adjudicating body with legal authority, to have committed actions which are in
violation of the Ethical Standards or Supply Chain Impacted Party sections of
this License, all rights granted to Licensee by this License will terminate
immediately.

7.4. Patent Litigation: If Licensee institutes patent litigation against any
entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a suit) alleging that the
Software, all or part of the Software’s code, or a derivative work developed
using the Software, including a portion of its code, constitutes direct or
contributory patent infringement, then any patent license, along with all other
rights, granted to Licensee under this License will terminate as of the date
such litigation is filed.
