BEN10MOD SOURCE-AVAILABLE LICENSE Version 1.1 - 25 July 2026 SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-Ben10Mod-Source-Available-1.1 Copyright (c) 2025-2026 DestroyerMob. All rights reserved. Plain-language intent: separate, independently written, free and noncommercial addons for Ben10Mod are allowed without asking for permission. Commercial use, commercial addon distribution, and redistribution of Ben10Mod code or assets are not allowed without separate written permission. The numbered terms below are the controlling legal terms. 1. Definitions "Ben10Mod Materials" means the source code, compiled code, documentation, original artwork, audio, shaders, and other material distributed with Ben10Mod, but only to the extent that DestroyerMob or a Ben10Mod contributor has the right to license that material. It does not include Third-Party Material described in section 8. "Official Release" means an unmodified Ben10Mod release published by DestroyerMob through the tModLoader Steam Workshop listing controlled by DestroyerMob or a tagged release of the canonical repository at https://github.com/DestroyerMob/Ben10Mod. "Addon" means a separate tModLoader mod whose code and assets are independently authored or lawfully licensed from sources other than Ben10Mod, and which interoperates with an Official Release through Ben10Mod's public APIs, public extension points, identifiers, or runtime references. A copy, fork, modified build, repackaging, or extraction of Ben10Mod Materials is not an Addon. "Commercial Use" means use intended to obtain, or that is tied to, payment, revenue, compensation, commercial advantage, or another financial benefit from Ben10Mod Materials or an Addon. Commercial Use includes, without limitation: - sale, rental, licensing fees, subscriptions, paywalls, or paid early access; - commissions or paid development, features, support, or distribution; - donations, crowdfunding, or sponsorship solicited specifically in exchange for, or tied to, an Addon, its development, access, features, support, or distribution; - advertising or adware included in or required to obtain an Addon; - paid modpacks, bundles, servers, hosting, services, or other paid offerings that include, require, or commercially benefit from an Addon or Ben10Mod Materials; or - use of Ben10Mod Materials in a commercial product or service. A general voluntary donation to a creator that is not required, promised, requested in exchange for, or specifically tied to an Addon does not by itself make an Addon commercial. Ordinary gameplay videos, livestreams, screenshots, reviews, tutorials, and news coverage are not Commercial Use solely because Ben10Mod appears in captured gameplay, even when the media is supported by platform advertising or general channel subscriptions. This exception does not permit distributing Ben10Mod Materials, selling access to Ben10Mod or an Addon, implying endorsement, or using third-party intellectual property without permission. 2. Personal and contribution permission Subject to these terms, you may: - install and use an Official Release for noncommercial gameplay, including hosting a free server that involves no Commercial Use; - view this repository and make a GitHub fork or local copy for personal evaluation, testing, or study; - make private local modifications solely for personal evaluation, testing, preparing a contribution to the official Ben10Mod repository, or developing and testing an Addon; and - submit proposed changes to the official Ben10Mod repository. This section does not permit distribution of a modified Ben10Mod build, fork, or any Ben10Mod Materials. 3. Noncommercial Addon permission Without prior written permission, and subject to every condition in this section, you may create, compile, test, publish, and distribute an Addon. You may reference an Official Release or the official Ben10Mod project as a build dependency, and may use Ben10Mod names, public type signatures, identifiers, and the minimal API references reasonably necessary for interoperability. Every Addon distributed under this permission must: - be distributed free of charge and involve no Commercial Use; - remain a separate work and must not copy, include, modify, repackage, or redistribute Ben10Mod Materials; - require users to obtain Ben10Mod separately from an official distribution channel; - include a clear notice substantially similar to: "Unofficial addon for Ben10Mod. Ben10Mod is not included and is separately licensed."; - not state or imply that the Addon is official, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by DestroyerMob; and - preserve any Ben10Mod copyright, attribution, and license notices included in a permitted minimal excerpt. You may license and publish code and assets you independently create for your Addon under any terms you choose. Regardless of those terms, distributing or using the Addon with Ben10Mod under this license must satisfy every condition in this section. Your terms must not claim to grant rights in Ben10Mod Materials. Code blocks expressly presented as addon examples in `docs/AddonAPI.md` in the tagged source corresponding to the targeted Official Release may be copied and adapted solely for an Addon that qualifies under this section. This limited permission does not extend to other Ben10Mod implementation code. 4. Restrictions Except where sections 2 and 3 expressly allow it, you may not: - use Ben10Mod Materials, in whole or in part, in another project or product; - copy, modify, publish, redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or commercially exploit Ben10Mod Materials or a derivative work; - distribute an unofficial, modified, or repackaged Ben10Mod build; - extract or reuse Ben10Mod artwork, audio, shaders, documentation, or other assets in an Addon or another project; - remove or alter copyright, authorship, attribution, or license notices; or - represent Ben10Mod Materials or a derivative work as your own. No patent license is granted. Nothing in this license limits a right that applicable law gives you without the copyright owner's permission, such as fair use or fair dealing. 5. Names and trademarks You may use the words "Ben10Mod addon" or "addon for Ben10Mod" only as reasonably necessary to identify compatibility. No permission is granted to use Ben10Mod logos or branding, or any third-party name, character, logo, or trademark, except to the extent applicable law independently permits it. 6. Commercial and other permission Commercial Use and any use not expressly allowed by this license require prior written permission from DestroyerMob. Permission for one use does not grant permission for another use. Permission requests may be initiated through the project Discord at https://discord.gg/XD7qN7DbdD. Permission is effective only when DestroyerMob issues explicit written approval; starting a request or receiving no response does not grant permission. 7. Contributions If you intentionally submit a contribution to the official Ben10Mod repository, you certify that you have the right to submit it and grant DestroyerMob a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sublicense, and relicense that contribution as part of Ben10Mod and related works. This contribution license does not transfer your copyright. Paid developers and contractors may be required to sign a separate written intellectual-property agreement. 8. Third-party rights "Third-Party Material" means names, characters, trademarks, artwork, software, and other intellectual property not owned by DestroyerMob or Ben10Mod contributors. Third-Party Material remains subject to its owners' rights and any separate terms that apply to it. Nothing in this license grants rights to Third-Party Material. Ben10Mod is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the owners of Ben 10, Terraria, or tModLoader. 9. Termination The permissions in this license are conditioned on compliance with its terms. They terminate automatically if you breach those terms. Reinstatement requires written permission from DestroyerMob. 10. Disclaimer THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE. 11. Earlier versions Version 1.1 of this license first applies to Ben10Mod 0.94. It applies to a later version only when that version is distributed with this license. A version previously published under another license remains governed by the license that accompanied that version. This license does not revoke rights already granted for an earlier version.
