This is a custom source-available license. It is not an open-source license.

1. Definitions
--------------

1.1. "Licensed Material" means the Serie shaderpack files distributed with
     this license, but only to the extent that the copyright holders have the
     right to license them. It excludes Third-Party Material and any file that
     states that different terms apply.

1.2. "Licensor" means each copyright holder granting rights in that holder's
     contribution to the Licensed Material.

1.3. "You" means the individual or legal entity exercising rights under this
     license.

1.4. "Source Code" means the preferred form of the Licensed Material for
     reading and making changes, including shader source, configuration,
     mappings, and required build or packaging files.

1.5. "Modpack" means a collection of Minecraft mods, resource packs,
     shaderpacks, configuration, or related files distributed together for
     players to install and use.

1.6. "Modified Pack" means a shaderpack that contains a modified version of,
     or a substantial portion derived from, the Licensed Material.

1.7. "Official Project Page" means:
     https://github.com/clorece/Serie

1.8. "Third-Party Material" means any portion identified in
     THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, or otherwise marked in the Source Code, as having
     originated from another copyright holder.

2. Acceptance
-------------

You accept this license by copying, modifying, or distributing the Licensed
Material. If You do not accept it, You may still view the Source Code and use
an unmodified copy for ordinary gameplay to the extent permitted by law, but
You receive no additional permission under this license.

3. Permissions
--------------

Subject to every condition in this license, the Licensor grants You a
worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable copyright license to
do the following:

3.1. Use

You may use the Licensed Material for gameplay, testing, education, research,
and other lawful purposes. You may make private modifications that You do not
distribute.

3.2. Screenshots, video, and streaming

You may create, publish, and monetize screenshots, videos, livestreams, and
other audiovisual works made using the Licensed Material. Attribution is
appreciated but is not required for this kind of content.

3.3. Modpacks

You may include and distribute an unmodified copy of the Licensed Material in
a Modpack if all of the following are true:

  a. The Modpack's public description visibly credits "Serie" and links to
     the Official Project Page.
  b. License.txt and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md are included unchanged with the
     shaderpack.
  c. The Modpack does not claim that Serie's maintainers endorse, maintain,
     or provide support for the Modpack.
  d. Users can obtain the Modpack without paying for access. Ordinary platform
     advertising revenue and voluntary donations are allowed when they do not
     restrict access or provide exclusive access to the shaderpack.

3.4. Modified Packs and forks

You may create and distribute a Modified Pack if all of the following are
true:

  a. The Modified Pack contains substantive code, feature, or visual changes.
     Changes limited to settings, constants, filenames, packaging, or branding
     are not sufficient. Its visuals must be readily distinguishable from
     Serie in ordinary daytime Overworld gameplay.
  b. The Modified Pack has its own name. Its product name must not contain
     "Serie" or be confusingly similar to "Serie". The phrase "based on
     Serie" or "fork of Serie" may be used truthfully in its description.
  c. The public description prominently credits Serie, links to the Official
     Project Page, and clearly summarizes the modifications.
  d. License.txt and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md are included unchanged.
  e. All files copied from or derived from the Licensed Material remain under
     this license. Independent additions may use other terms only when they
     are clearly identified and those terms do not restrict the rights granted
     here in the Serie-derived files.
  f. Complete Source Code for the Modified Pack is provided with the download
     or through a stable, public link displayed next to the download.
  g. Access to the Modified Pack and its Source Code is free of charge.
     Ordinary platform advertising revenue and voluntary donations are
     allowed when they do not restrict or prioritize access.
  h. The Modified Pack does not imply official status, endorsement, or support
     by Serie's maintainers.

3.5. Contributions and discussion

You may publish reasonable excerpts, patches, and diffs for review, education,
bug reports, or contribution to Serie. Preserve any copyright, attribution,
and license notices contained in the excerpt. This permission does not allow
repackaging substantially all of Serie outside Sections 3.3 or 3.4.

4. Restrictions and reserved rights
-----------------------------------

4.1. You may not sell, rent, sublicense, or place access to the Licensed
     Material or a Modified Pack behind a purchase, subscription, paid tier,
     or other required payment.

4.2. You may not redistribute an unmodified or substantially unmodified copy
     of Serie as a standalone shaderpack. This does not prohibit distribution
     through an official mirror authorized in writing by the Licensor or
     inclusion in a qualifying Modpack under Section 3.3.

4.3. You may not remove, alter, obscure, or misrepresent required copyright,
     license, attribution, modification, or third-party notices.

4.4. You may not impose terms or technical measures that prevent recipients
     from exercising the rights this license grants in Serie-derived files.

4.5. No trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, patent, or other right is
     granted except for the limited copyright permissions stated here. Fair
     and truthful references required by Sections 3.3 and 3.4 are allowed.

4.6. Any use not expressly permitted by this license is reserved by the
     applicable copyright holder.

5. Third-party material
-----------------------

This license does not replace or expand permissions for Third-Party Material.
You must follow the original terms and preserve the notices described in
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and in the relevant Source Code. If those terms conflict
with this license, the original terms control only for the affected
Third-Party Material.

6. Termination and cure
-----------------------

6.1. Your rights under this license terminate automatically if You violate
     it.

6.2. Your rights are reinstated if You correct the violation within 30 days
     after discovering it or receiving written notice of it, provided this is
     Your first violation of this license. Repeated or uncured violations
     require express written reinstatement from the Licensor.

6.3. Termination does not end licenses already received by compliant
     recipients of copies You previously distributed.

7. License versions and exceptions
----------------------------------

7.1. This license applies only to versions of the Licensed Material that
     include it. A later Serie release may use different terms; new terms do
     not retroactively change rights already granted for an earlier release.

7.2. Only the applicable Licensor may grant an exception to these terms, and
     an exception must be in writing. An exception for one person, project, or
     use does not waive these terms for anyone else.

8. Disclaimer of warranty
-------------------------

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSED MATERIAL IS PROVIDED
"AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER YOUR USE AND
DISTRIBUTION COMPLY WITH THIS LICENSE AND APPLICABLE LAW.

9. Limitation of liability
--------------------------

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO LICENSOR OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE
LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE LICENSED MATERIAL OR THIS LICENSE,
EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10. General
-----------

If any provision of this license is held unenforceable, it will be limited or
removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions
will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of
the right to enforce it later. This license does not limit rights You already
have under applicable law, such as applicable exceptions and limitations to
copyright.
