If you release a public mod that requires Open Hands Lib:

* Do not upload a copy of the library to your own download page unless the
  author has permitted it. Prefer listing it as a required dependency and
  pointing players to the official download.

* If you include the jar in your modpack or mod archive, follow the modpack
  rules in "YOU ARE ALLOWED TO" above.

* Integrating Open Hands Lib into another mod's codebase (merging sources)
  or republishing API wrappers as your own library requires written permission.
