Licenses and credits

MIT software license · Third-party notices

The MIT license in `LICENSE` applies to the project's source code, scripts,
configuration, tests, and technical documentation unless a file contains a
more specific notice. Game engines and UI implementations are software.
Authored prose, setting material, and asset files are creative content, even
when embedded in source files or design documents.

Unless a content file states otherwise, copyright in the following remains
reserved by the respective rights holders, subject to the bundled deployment
permission below:

- authored story prose and campaign files under `projects/long-tide/content/story/`;
- official scenario, rules text, character names, setting names, and other
narrative text embedded in the application;
- artwork, screenshots, posters, and other project media.

Bundled deployment permission

The project grants a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to copy
and redistribute its original official content, unmodified, as part of this
application or a fork, and to display it to players using that deployment.
This includes free and paid hosting, local testing, container images, backups,
and ordinary player screenshots and game-result posters. Preserve attribution
and these terms, and identify independent deployments as independent. Technical
changes to packaging, paths, storage, and rendering are allowed when they do
not change the creative work. This grant does not permit selling the creative
content separately or publishing adapted stories, scenarios, or artwork. Obtain
separate permission for those uses, except where an explicit content license
already permits them. No rights in community or third-party works are granted
by this paragraph. The content is provided as-is, without warranty; the
disclaimer and limitation of liability in `LICENSE` also apply to this grant.

Explicit content licenses and trademarks

The `OFFICIAL_FIVE_WARDS_PACK` reference data in
`projects/five-wards/src/content.ts` is licensed under CC BY 4.0 by this document.
Credit it as "Five Wards reference pack — Council Protocol project
contributors", link <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>, retain
supplied credits, and indicate changes. This permits community thematic packs
and commercial reuse of the reference data. It does not extend to The Long
Tide story campaigns or other Brannock setting material.

The official Third Voice scenario declares `CC BY 4.0` for its scenario
content in `projects/third-voice/src/content.ts`. That declaration covers the
scenario content only; it does not grant a license to the runtime, trademarks,
other stories, or other project assets. Use the attribution "Station Nine: The
Third Voice — Council Protocol project contributors", include the license
link <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>, retain any supplied
credits, and indicate modifications. The license permits commercial use and
adaptation; it is not revoked by this document. The Council Protocol reference
pack in `apps/platform/src/mods/registry.ts` also declares `CC-BY-4.0`; that declaration is
preserved. Community packs and scenarios are
licensed under the terms their authors declare. A submission to the platform
does not grant rights beyond those declared terms.

Names and visual identities, including Five Wards, The Third Voice, Council
Protocol, Brannock, and related logos, are not granted as trademarks. You may
identify the software and give accurate attribution without implying official
endorsement. This statement does not assert that any mark is registered.

Keep `LICENSE`, this file, `NOTICE`, and relevant per-file notices with a
redistribution. Older immutable pack metadata saying a license has not been
selected is supplemented by this document for the project-owned content in
this checkout. Its bytes and version have not been rewritten, so existing
match pins and saved games continue to verify.
