PinePaper Studio — Proprietary Freeware License ================================================= Copyright (c) 2026 PinePaper Studio. All rights reserved. This software is "proprietary freeware": you may USE the hosted PinePaper Studio Service free of charge for any personal or commercial purpose, but you may NOT redistribute, modify, fork, sublicense, sell, or otherwise copy the software's source code or compiled artifacts. This license covers the PinePaper Studio application code, build outputs, and assets located in this repository, EXCEPT for the parts called out under "Carve-outs" below, which are licensed separately on more permissive terms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Grant of Use (the Service) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject to the conditions of this license and the Terms of Service at https://pinepaper.studio/terms-of-service.html, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to: (a) Access and use the hosted PinePaper Studio web application; (b) Create unlimited designs, animations, and exports; (c) Use, share, and commercialize anything you create with the Service, with no attribution required and no royalty owed; (d) Operate the included Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents (the MCP server is separately MIT-licensed — see its own LICENSE file in the relevant subdirectory). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Restrictions on the Source Code ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Without the prior written permission of PinePaper Studio, you may NOT: (a) Copy, fork, mirror, redistribute, or republish the source code or compiled JavaScript artifacts of PinePaper Studio; (b) Modify, adapt, translate, decompile, disassemble, or reverse-engineer the obfuscated production build; (c) Remove or circumvent the obfuscation, debug protection, or self-defending mechanisms in the production build; (d) Create derivative works based on the source code; (e) Use the source code or compiled artifacts to build, host, or operate a competing service or a substantially similar tool; (f) Sell, sublicense, lease, rent, or otherwise transfer the source code or compiled artifacts to any third party. The production build is intentionally obfuscated. Reverse-engineering the obfuscation is a violation of this license regardless of technical feasibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Carve-outs (parts of this repo licensed differently) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following components are NOT covered by this proprietary license and are governed by their own, more permissive terms: (a) The MCP Server. The Model Context Protocol server distributed at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pinepaper.studio/mcp-server and its source repository is MIT-licensed. You may fork, modify, and redistribute it freely, subject to the MIT terms in its own LICENSE. (b) The PinePaper Ontology / Knowledge Graph (the "pp:" vocabulary). The OWL/Turtle ontology and JSON-LD context published at https://pinepaper.studio/ontology/ and the knowledge-graph dataset at https://pinepaper.studio/knowledge-graph.jsonld are dedicated to the public domain under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). You may emit pp: triples in your own canvases, exports, training data, models, or downstream systems with NO attribution and NO licensing obligations. (c) The PineWidget runtime (js/PineWidget.js). The standalone embeddable widget player ships unobfuscated and is intended for embedding by third parties; see its file header for its license terms. (d) Third-party open-source dependencies bundled with PinePaper. Each dependency retains its original license — see the "Open Source Credits" section of /about.html and the license files under node_modules//LICENSE in source distributions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Your Creations ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You retain all intellectual property rights in any designs, animations, exports, and other content you create using the Service. PinePaper Studio makes no claim of ownership over your creations. You are responsible for ensuring you have rights to any third-party content (images, fonts, audio) you import into the Service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Disclaimer of Warranty ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SERVICE AND THE SOFTWARE 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, 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Termination ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your license to use the Service terminates automatically if you breach any term of this license. PinePaper Studio reserves the right to revoke or modify access to the Service at any time, for any reason, without notice, in its sole discretion. Sections 4 and 5 survive termination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Contact ------------------------------------------------------------------------- For commercial licensing inquiries, source-code access requests, or clarification on permitted uses, contact: info@pinepaper.studio ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This license file should be read alongside the Terms of Service at https://pinepaper.studio/terms-of-service.html, which describes the practical conditions for using the hosted Service. Where a conflict exists between this LICENSE file and the Terms of Service, the more restrictive provision applies. Last updated: 2026-04-09
