===============================================================================
              AURIC ARTISAN FREE USE LICENCE (VERSION 2.0)
===============================================================================

Copyright (c) 2026 Auric Artisan. All rights reserved.

This licence covers this Visual Studio Code extension and every part of it —
its source code, build scripts, icon artwork, SVG assets, colour and
accessibility engines, diagnostics logic, webview interface, generated
catalogues, documentation and bundled media (together, the "Extension"), and
applies equally to every extension published by Auric Artisan.

In short: the Extension is free to use, by anyone, for anything — but it may
not be redistributed, republished or sold, and Auric Artisan remains its sole
owner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. GRANT OF USE — FREE, FOR EVERYONE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auric Artisan grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
non-transferable licence to:

  a) download and install the Extension from an official distribution channel
     (the Visual Studio Marketplace, Open VSX, or a release published by Auric
     Artisan);
  b) install and run it on any number of machines you own or control;
  c) use it for any purpose — personal, educational, non-profit, internal
     business or commercial work, including work you are paid for; and
  d) use, keep and publish the output you produce with it (your own code,
     projects, designs and documents) with no obligation to Auric Artisan and
     no claim by Auric Artisan over that output.

No fee, registration, attribution or permission request is required to use the
Extension in this way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. OWNERSHIP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Extension is licensed, not sold. All rights, title and interest in and to
the Extension — including its design, layout, structure, user interface, icon
and SVG artwork, colour system, algorithms, source code, text content and the
arrangement of all of the above — remain the exclusive property of Auric
Artisan. Nothing in this licence transfers ownership, and no rights are granted
except those stated in Section 1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may not, in whole or in part:

  a) REDISTRIBUTE — copy, mirror, host, bundle, repackage or otherwise supply
     the Extension or its files to any third party, including publishing it to
     the Visual Studio Marketplace, Open VSX, any other extension marketplace,
     app store, package registry or public repository;
  b) SELL — sell, resell, rent, lease, licence, sublicense, or charge any fee
     for the Extension, or include it in a paid product, paid bundle, paid
     theme pack or paid service;
  c) CREATE DERIVATIVES FOR RELEASE — modify, translate, adapt, re-colour,
     re-draw, retrace, fork or build upon the Extension, its artwork or its
     code and then distribute, publish or make that result available to
     others;
  d) EXTRACT — separate the icons, SVG assets, palettes, engines, datasets or
     code modules from the Extension for use in another product, extension,
     icon set, theme, template, design system or asset library;
  e) REBRAND — remove, hide or alter any copyright notice, licence file,
     publisher name, branding or attribution, or present the Extension or any
     part of it as your own work;
  f) REVERSE ENGINEER — decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the
     Extension, except to the exact extent that such a restriction is
     unenforceable under the law that applies to you;
  g) MISUSE THE NAME — use "Auric Artisan" or any Auric Artisan mark, logo or
     product name to endorse, promote or name your own product.

Private, local changes for your own use only — editing a setting, patching your
own installed copy, or reading the code to learn from it — are permitted, so
long as the result never leaves the machines you own or control.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Extension may include or be built from third-party material that carries
its own licence — for example typefaces, fonts and open-source dependencies.
Those components remain governed by their own terms, which prevail over this
licence for those components only. Any such material is identified in the
accompanying attribution documentation where applicable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. NO WARRANTY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EXTENSION IS 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. AURIC ARTISAN DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE EXTENSION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND MAKES NO
GUARANTEE AS TO ANY ACCESSIBILITY, CONTRAST, COMPLIANCE OR DIAGNOSTIC RESULT IT
REPORTS. ALL SUCH RESULTS ARE ADVISORY AND MUST BE VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AURIC ARTISAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, DATA LOSS, LOST PROFITS, ACCESSIBILITY OUTCOME, COMPLIANCE
DECISION OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXTENSION OR ITS USE.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. TERMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This licence applies for as long as you comply with it. It terminates
automatically if you breach Section 3, and on termination you must stop using
the Extension and delete all copies in your possession. Sections 2 and 4 to 8
survive termination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. GENERAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auric Artisan may publish updated versions of this licence with future
releases; the version shipped with a given release governs that release. If any
provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in force. Unauthorised
redistribution, republication, sale or reuse of the Extension is an
infringement of Auric Artisan's intellectual property and may result in legal
action.
