⚖️KARNAKPANEL LICENCE v1.0

1. GRANT. You may install, use, modify and self-host this software on servers you operate, for your own hosting business or personal use, free of charge.
2. NOT PERMITTED. You may not: (a) sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise charge for the software itself (charging for hosting services powered by it is fine); (b) redistribute the software, modified or not, whether gratis or paid; (c) use the name "KarnakPanel", the KarnakPanel logos, or any confusingly similar branding for your own product or service; (d) remove or alter copyright notices in the source.
3. MODIFICATIONS are for your own installations only and carry no obligation to share. If you redistribute in breach of 2(b), clause 2 applies in full.
4. NO WARRANTY AND NO LIABILITY. The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. You run it entirely at your own risk. In no event shall the authors be liable for any loss arising from its use — including data loss, downtime, lost revenue, security breaches, or losses suffered by your own hosting customers. If you host third parties with this software, their recourse is to you, not to us.
5. SUPPORT IS NOT INCLUDED. The software is free; our time is not. Installation help, repairs for problems you caused, and any other support are chargeable services at our prevailing rates. Nothing in this licence entitles you to free assistance.
6. TERMINATION. Any breach of this licence terminates your rights immediately. Provisions that by nature survive (brand, warranty, liability) remain in force.
