PREAMBLE
14+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15+
16+
This License extends the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0) with provisions
17+
for ethical use, post-quantum cryptographic provenance, and emotional lineage
18+
protection. The base MPL-2.0 terms apply except where explicitly modified by
19+
the Exhibits below.
20+
21+
Like a palimpsest manuscript where each layer builds upon what came before,
22+
this license recognizes that creative works carry history, context, and meaning
23+
that transcend mere code or text.
24+
25+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26+
SECTION 1: BASE LICENSE
27+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28+
29+
This License incorporates the full text of Mozilla Public License 2.0 by
30+
reference. The complete MPL-2.0 text is available at:
31+
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/
32+
33+
All terms, conditions, and definitions from MPL-2.0 apply except where
34+
explicitly modified by the Exhibits in this License.

SECTION 2: ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
38+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
39+
40+
2.1. "Emotional Lineage"
41+
means the narrative, cultural, symbolic, and contextual meaning embedded
42+
in Covered Software, including but not limited to: protest traditions,
43+
cultural heritage, trauma narratives, and community stories.
44+
45+
2.2. "Provenance Metadata"
46+
means cryptographically signed attribution information attached to or
47+
associated with Covered Software, including author identities, timestamps,
48+
modification history, and lineage references.
49+
50+
2.3. "Non-Interpretive System"
51+
means any automated system that processes Covered Software without
52+
preserving or considering its Emotional Lineage, including but not
53+
limited to: AI training pipelines, content aggregators, and automated
54+
summarization tools.
55+
56+
2.4. "Quantum-Safe Signature"
57+
means a cryptographic signature using algorithms resistant to attacks
58+
by quantum computers, as specified in Exhibit B.
59+
60+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61+
SECTION 3: ETHICAL USE REQUIREMENTS
62+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
63+

You must make reasonable efforts to preserve and communicate the
68+
Emotional Lineage of Covered Software when distributing or creating
69+
derivative works. This includes maintaining narrative context, cultural
70+
attributions, and symbolic meaning where documented.
71+
72+
3.2. Non-Interpretive System Notice
73+
If You use Covered Software as input to a Non-Interpretive System, You
74+
must:
75+
(a) document such use in a publicly accessible manner; and
76+
(b) not claim that outputs of such systems carry the Emotional Lineage
77+
of the original work without explicit permission from Contributors.
78+
79+
3.3. Ethical Use Declaration
80+
Commercial use of Covered Software requires acknowledgment that You have
81+
read and understood Exhibit A (Ethical Use Guidelines) and agree to act

distributions.
99+
100+

101+
When creating derivative works, You should extend the provenance chain
102+
to include Your own contributions, maintaining cryptographic linkage to

105+
See Exhibit B for Quantum-Safe Provenance specifications.
