AaronOS End User License Agreement
Please read this EULA before downloading, hosting, or otherwise using the code and resources of the AaronOS project.
AaronOS was created and is maintained by Aaron Adams (contact at mineandcraft12@gmail.com), who is also the copyright holder of AaronOS.
This agreement is between:
- Aaron Adams ("Me", "I")
- You
This agreement pertains to:
- AaronOS ("Project", "aOS")
- AaronOS's Code
- AaronOS's Resources (including images, sound files, etc) (not including placeholder resources which Aaron did not create or pay for)
Some examples of such resources that Aaron is not claiming ownership or responsibility of (and are the sole intellectual property of their respective owners) are:
- Profont (/ProFont/)
- Breeze Cursors (/cursors/beta/)
- Minecraft Textures (/mc/)
- Messaging Notification Sounds (/messagingSounds/)
- Original Beta Background (/bgBeta.png)
- /loadDark.gif, /loadLight.gif
- /winimg.png
- Alpha Icons (/appicons/) (EXCLUDING /appicons/ds/ which were made by Hasan Shahrier and paid for by Aaron)
- /customStyles/macos/
- Additional code or resources provided by contributors to the project on GitHub
By deploying or otherwise using the AaronOS project's code and resources, you are agreeing to the agreement laid out in this document.
The EULA (this document) may be updated at any time, and all changes become effective immediately. Aaron will also attempt
within reasonable effort to notify developers, deployers, and users of changes, most typically via the community server on Discord.
In the event that any portion of this document is to be considered by a court of law to be void, unenforceable, or invalid, then the remainder of the document shall
not be held void, unenforceable, or invalid as a result.
LIABILITY
While it is highly unlikely that it should occur, you agree that Aaron is not responsible for any damage caused by this software and its resources,
whether direct or indirect. You agree that Aaron holds no liability should this occur, and will not pursue legal or non-legal action against him or the project.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All code, designs, and resources (excluding those owned by others, such as placeholder resources listed near the beginning of the document) are owned by Aaron, and
you agree not to claim them to be your own. Additionally, Aaron reserves the right in all cases to deny you permission to distribute or modify his intellectual
property for any reason.
You agree not to use this project or its code for any illegal purposes, including but not limited to the redistribution of copyrighted material where you do not have
the express permission of the copyright-holders involved. This definition includes linking to remote resources that violate the rights of copyright-holders.
The AaronOS logos and other text- or image-based branding are not to modified in such a way that makes it difficult for users to understand that the project is, in fact, AaronOS.
Examples of acceptable logo or branding modification include but are not limited to:
- modifying the visual style to portray a unique theme
- utilizing the backdrop design of the AaronOS icons to create your own unique icons, without changing the meaning of existing icons
- creating an identity for your own changes to AaronOS that does not appear to change the identity of the project as a whole
- an example includes creating a unique logo and name for your own changes, while including a clearly visible message pointing back to AaronOS as the original work
- one real-world acceptable example is a third-party developer who changed the primary name and logo, but left "Powered by AaronOS" clearly visible alongside their modified name and logo
Examples of unacceptable logo or branding modification include but are not limited to:
- modifications that make it difficult for users to understand that AaronOS is the original work
- an example includes changing or removing content that is important to identifying the original work, without including a clearly visible message pointing back to AaronOS as the original work
- modifications that appear to change the identity of AaronOS, or appear to change the identity of existing AaronOS content
- an example includes rebranding AaronOS as a whole without including a clearly visible message pointing back to AaronOS as the original work
- an additional example includes rebranding AaronOS content such as NORAA or AaronOS Blast under a different name
- modifications that appear to convey ownership of AaronOS to anyone other than Aaron Adams, the original creator of AaronOS
- an example includes changing the name, logo, or content of AaronOS in such a way to convey that the original work was not made by Aaron Adams
You may not charge your users in any way for the use of or anything else pertaining to code or content written by Aaron, or resources created or owned by Aaron.
What you are allowed to charge users for, if you wish, is for code or resources you have created or own yourself (for example, an original application or extension to aOS).
Note that the aforementioned charging shall not pertain to code or resources that Aaron created or owns. Aaron's work may not be locked behind a paywall or charge of any kind,
users must not be required to pay to access my work, you may not accept payment for my work, and my work must be provided free of charge to all of your users.
