CaptchaKraken Source-Available License v1.0
Copyright (c) 2026 JobHarvest / JWriter20. All rights reserved.

This license governs use of the CaptchaKraken software in this repository and of
the associated machine-learning model weights and LoRA adapters published by the
copyright holder (collectively, the "Software"). By using the Software you agree
to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

================================================================================
1. GRANT
================================================================================
Subject to the restrictions below, you are granted a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the Software, and to
incorporate it into your own products and services.

================================================================================
2. PERMITTED USES
================================================================================
You MAY use the Software for:

  (a) Personal, non-commercial use, research, and education.

  (b) Commercial use INSIDE a larger product or service that delivers
      substantial value BEYOND captcha solving itself — that is, where captcha
      solving is an internal, enabling component rather than the product.

  Illustrative (non-exhaustive) examples of PERMITTED commercial use:
      - Web scrapers and data-collection pipelines.
      - Stealth / anti-detection browsers and browser automation frameworks
        that use the Software as one internal capability.
      - QA, testing, and accessibility tooling.
      - Any application where the captcha solve is a means to an end the user
        is actually paying for.

================================================================================
3. PROHIBITED USES
================================================================================
You MAY NOT, without a separate written commercial agreement from the copyright
holder:

  (a) Sell, resell, rent, or otherwise offer for a fee any captcha-SOLVING
      service, product, or API whose primary value is solving captchas,
      where that service is powered by the Software or its model outputs.

  (b) Distribute "thin wrappers" around the Software whose primary purpose is
      captcha solving — including but not limited to browser extensions,
      hosted endpoints, SaaS products, or CLIs that simply expose the
      Software's solving capability to end users.

  (c) Expose, proxy, or relay the responses or outputs of the Software's LoRA
      models (e.g. bounding boxes, tile selections, click plans) through a paid
      or public API as a captcha-solving service.

  In short: you may BUILD WITH this Software, but you may not SELL THE SOLVE.

================================================================================
4. MODEL OUTPUTS
================================================================================
Outputs produced by the model weights/adapters are subject to Sections 2 and 3
to the same extent as the Software itself. Reselling or API-relaying those
outputs as a captcha-solving service is prohibited under Section 3(c).

================================================================================
5. REDISTRIBUTION
================================================================================
If you redistribute the Software (modified or not), you must retain this license
and this notice, and you must not remove or alter the restrictions in Section 3.

================================================================================
6. TRADEMARKS
================================================================================
This license does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, or
product names of the copyright holder, except as required to describe the origin
of the Software.

================================================================================
7. NO WARRANTY
================================================================================
THE SOFTWARE 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. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER
IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

================================================================================
8. RESPONSIBLE USE
================================================================================
You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Software complies with all
applicable laws, the terms of service of any site you interact with, and
applicable anti-fraud and computer-access statutes. The copyright holder does
not endorse using the Software to violate any third party's terms or rights.

================================================================================
9. COMMERCIAL LICENSING
================================================================================
For uses prohibited under Section 3 — including selling captcha-solving as a
service — contact the copyright holder to discuss a separate commercial license.
