Project Genesis — Proprietary Software License
Copyright (c) 2026 Sena Setoria and BluntMan420. All rights reserved.

================================================================================
1. GRANT OF LICENSE
================================================================================

Subject to the terms below, the copyright holders grant you a personal,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and run one copy
of Project Genesis (the "Software") for your own use, including the creation of
musical works.

Musical works you create with the Software are entirely yours. The copyright
holders claim no rights over your compositions, recordings, or exported audio.

================================================================================
2. RESTRICTIONS
================================================================================

You may NOT:

  a) Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software.

  b) Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to
     derive its source code, except to the extent this restriction is
     unenforceable under applicable law or is expressly permitted by the
     license of a third-party component (see Section 5).

  c) Distribute, publish, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, or otherwise
     transfer the Software or any copy of it to any third party.

  d) Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, authorship, or
     licence notice contained in the Software.

  e) Use the Software to develop a competing product.

================================================================================
3. OWNERSHIP
================================================================================

The Software is licensed, not sold. The copyright holders retain all right,
title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property
rights. No rights are granted except those expressly stated in Section 1.

================================================================================
4. 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.

The Software loads third-party audio plug-ins (VST3) that run inside its own
process. The copyright holders are not responsible for the behaviour, stability,
or licensing of any plug-in you choose to load.

================================================================================
5. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS — IMPORTANT
================================================================================

This licence covers ONLY the original source code of Project Genesis. It does
NOT and CANNOT override the licences of the third-party libraries the Software
depends on. Those are listed in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.

One of them requires your attention:

    pedalboard (the audio engine and VST3 host) is licensed GPL-3.0.

GPL-3.0 requires that anyone who receives a copy of a program built on it also
receives the right to modify and redistribute that program. That right cannot be
removed by this licence, and it directly conflicts with Section 2.

Those obligations are triggered by DISTRIBUTION. They do not apply to private,
personal, or internal use.

Accordingly, the restrictions in Section 2 are enforceable for this build ONLY
while the Software is not distributed to third parties. Read
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md before publishing, sharing, or selling any copy or build
of the Software.

================================================================================
6. TERMINATION
================================================================================

This licence terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On
termination you must stop using the Software and destroy all copies in your
possession.
