The Liney License 1.0 (TLL-1.0) SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-TLL-1.0 Copyright (c) 2026 Cytech Team Development and Liney contributors This is a custom source-available license. It is not the GNU General Public License, it is not an OSI-approved Open Source license, and it must not be described as GPL-3.0. If a file, dependency, or bundled component contains a different license notice, that notice governs that component. 1. Definitions ============== "Liney" means the original software, source code, documentation, artwork, and other material identified by the Liney maintainers as covered by this license. "Covered Work" means Liney and a modified work that contains or is derived from material covered by this license. "You" means any person or organization exercising rights under this license. "Maintainers" means Cytech Team Development and the copyright holders who publish or maintain the official Liney project. "Formal Compliance Notice" means a notice published by the Maintainers after reasonably verifying a written request from LINE, LY Corporation, or a person authorized to represent the relevant rights holder. A message from an unknown third party is not a Formal Compliance Notice by itself. 2. Permission ============= Subject to the conditions in this license, the Maintainers grant You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to: * use Liney for personal, educational, research, internal, or commercial purposes; * study the source code; * build Liney from source; * modify Liney; * create Covered Works and forks; and * redistribute unmodified or modified copies of a Covered Work. This permission is granted for the duration of the applicable copyright and only for rights that the relevant copyright holders are able to license. 3. Redistribution conditions ============================ When You redistribute Liney or a Covered Work, You must: 1. provide a copy of this license; 2. preserve applicable copyright, attribution, and disclaimer notices; 3. clearly identify material changes made by You; 4. make the corresponding source code of the Liney-covered portions available to recipients under this license; and 5. avoid presenting a modified build as an official Liney release unless the Maintainers have authorized that representation. Forks are allowed. A fork may use a different project name, package name, repository, and visual identity, subject to the branding terms below. 4. Liney branding ================= The name "Liney", the Liney wordmark, the penguin mascot, the supplied Liney artwork, and other original Liney branding are project identifiers. This license grants no trademark or branding rights beyond the right to accurately identify an unmodified Covered Work as Liney. You may state that a product is based on Liney, but You must not imply that a fork is an official release, is maintained by Cytech Team Development, or is endorsed by the Maintainers without written permission. LINE, the LINE name, LINE logos, LINE characters, and related marks and copyrighted assets belong to their respective rights holders. This license does not grant rights to those marks or assets. 5. LINE and LY Corporation independence notice ================================================ Liney is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with LY Corporation or the official LINE application unless a separate written agreement says so. Liney may use unofficial software, protocols, compatibility layers, or libraries to communicate with LINE services. Such use may stop working, may be restricted by LINE, and may be affected by LINE's Terms of Service or other policies. This license does not grant permission from LINE or LY Corporation to access or use their services. 6. Cooperation and compliance requests ======================================= The Maintainers are willing to discuss reasonable requests concerning branding, trademarks, security, protocol behavior, distribution, features, advertising, official notices, licensing, compatibility, or cooperation. After receiving and reasonably verifying a formal request from LINE, LY Corporation, or an authorized representative, the Maintainers may publish a Formal Compliance Notice with its scope and effective date. Depending on the request, the Maintainers may: * stop publishing public releases; * stop public development or make official repositories private; * remove or restrict affected functionality; * change the backend or migrate to an official API or SDK; * add an authorized notice, promotion, or advertising placement; * continue future development privately or under different terms; or * discontinue the project. If a Formal Compliance Notice expressly applies to further public redistribution of a Covered Work, You must stop further public redistribution of the affected Covered Work, remove the affected functionality where specified, or otherwise follow the scope of the notice. The notice does not require You to erase historical knowledge or physically delete copies that You already received. This section does not retroactively change the license of a copy that was lawfully distributed before the effective date of a Formal Compliance Notice. It also cannot change the license of independent third-party code. 7. Third-party components ========================= Third-party libraries, protocols, assets, and generated components are not relicensed under TLL-1.0 merely because they are used, bundled, or referenced by Liney. Each component remains governed by its own license and copyright notice. In particular, the license of the LINEJS dependency is selected by its copyright holders and is separate from this license. You must review and follow the licenses of dependencies before redistributing a build. 8. Contributions ================= By intentionally submitting code, documentation, artwork, or another work to the official Liney project for inclusion, You grant the Maintainers a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sublicense, and relicense that contribution as part of Liney. This contribution license includes the right to include the contribution in public, private, source-available, differently licensed, officially authorized, or closed-source future versions of Liney. You retain ownership of Your contribution unless a separate written agreement transfers it. By submitting a contribution, You represent that You have the right to grant these permissions and that the contribution does not knowingly violate a third party's rights. 9. Future versions ================== The copyright holders may release future versions of Liney under TLL-1.0, another source-available license, an open-source license, a private or closed-source model, a license agreed with LINE or LY Corporation, or no license at all. Changing the terms for a future version does not automatically change the terms applicable to a copy that was already lawfully distributed under this license. 10. Disclaimer of warranty ========================== TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LINEY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. THE MAINTAINERS DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, ACCURACY, AND CONTINUED COMPATIBILITY WITH LINE SERVICES. 11. Limitation of liability =========================== TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO MAINTAINER OR COPYRIGHT HOLDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, ACCOUNTS, ACCESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO LINEY OR THIS LICENSE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 12. Contact =========== Legal, trademark, cooperation, and compliance contact: namnarak@namnarak.in.th Cytech Team Development and the Liney Maintainers are willing to review legitimate requests and discuss an authorized or technically safer way to provide LINE access on Linux.
