PROOFLINE VERIFY LICENSE, v2.0

================================================================================

Short version: the published results are open to check, cite and republish.
The detector that produced them is not distributed.

--- WHAT IS COVERED ---

This License covers the materials in this repository: the `proofline_verify`
Python package, the signed result files (`RAID.signed.json`,
`DMITVA.signed.json`), the public key, and the accompanying documentation
(the "Materials").

It does NOT cover the Proofline detector itself — its feature extractor,
tokenizer, encoder or trained model parameters. Those are proprietary, are
not distributed here, and are licensed only under a separate commercial
agreement.

--- WHAT YOU MAY DO ---

Without asking us, you may:

  (a) install `proofline-verify` from PyPI, or clone this repository;
  (b) run the verifier against any Proofline signed result;
  (c) read the verifier source;
  (d) download, inspect and analyse the signed results, including the
      per-document scores they contain;
  (e) redistribute a signed result UNMODIFIED, with its signature intact;
  (f) cite the published results in research, journalism, procurement
      review or litigation;
  (g) compare the published results against other detectors, including
      your own;
  (h) publish what you find — whatever you find, favourable or not.

(e) through (h) are the point of publishing signed results. A result nobody
is permitted to re-examine is not evidence.

--- WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO ---

  1. Reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to reconstruct the
     Proofline detector, its feature construction, its tokenizer design or
     its trained model parameters.
  2. Present a modified, truncated or forged artifact as a Proofline result,
     or strip a signature from a result and present the numbers as ours.
  3. Remove or obscure a copyright notice, signature or timestamp reference
     in the Materials.
  4. Use "TriGeoChiral" or "Proofline" in a way that implies we produced,
     endorsed or verified something we did not.

--- NO WARRANTY ---

THE MATERIALS ARE 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 MATERIALS OR THEIR USE.

A benchmark result is a measurement under stated conditions. It is not a
guarantee of performance on your data, and it is not a legal opinion about
admissibility in any proceeding.

--- COMMERCIAL USE ---

API access, on-premise deployment and any use of the detector itself are
governed by the agreement you sign with us, not by this file.

--- GOVERNING LAW ---

Nevada, United States.
