# Controlled Website Source License 1.0 ## CWSL-1.0 Copyright (c) 2026 Rishi Malnad All rights reserved except as expressly granted under this License. This license governs the source code, website design, layouts, components, styles, scripts, configuration, documentation, and other original materials distributed with this website or project (collectively, the **"Licensed Materials"**). This License does not apply to third-party software, libraries, fonts, images, media, trademarks, logos, text, or other materials that are separately licensed or owned by another party (**"Third-Party Materials"**). Those materials remain subject to their respective terms. Content supplied by or belonging to the organization, individual, or entity for whom the website was created (**"Recipient Content"**) remains the property of its respective owner and is not relicensed under this License. For this project, all Madilu Shantivana content, photographs, documents and marks are Recipient Content and remain the property of their respective owners. ## 1. Source Availability The Licensed Materials may be made publicly available in source form for inspection, education, security review, archival purposes, and evaluation. Making the source code publicly accessible does not place it in the public domain and does not constitute a grant of rights except those expressly provided by this License. Except for an Authorized Recipient as described in Section 2, you may: a. view and inspect the Licensed Materials; b. download or copy the Licensed Materials for personal archival, research, educational, or evaluation purposes; and c. run the Licensed Materials privately for testing or evaluation. These permissions do not include a right to publicly deploy, redistribute, publish, sublicense, sell, commercially exploit, or provide the Licensed Materials to third parties. ## 2. Authorized Recipient License An **"Authorized Recipient"** is a person or organization for whom the copyright holder has specifically created, supplied, transferred, or authorized a particular website or deployment. An Authorized Recipient is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to: a. operate and publicly deploy the Licensed Materials as part of the website or project for which they were supplied; b. use that website in connection with the Authorized Recipient's ordinary activities, including commercial activity, fundraising, advertising, membership activities, sales, or other organizational purposes; c. create reasonable backups of the Licensed Materials; and d. make changes to content, configuration, deployment settings, credentials, factual information, and other material reasonably necessary for normal operation of the website. This permission applies only to the website or project for which the Licensed Materials were supplied. It does not grant the Authorized Recipient the right to use the Licensed Materials as a general-purpose template, theme, framework, website-building product, or basis for websites created for unrelated third parties. ## 3. Restrictions Except with specific prior written permission from the copyright holder, you may not: a. sell, rent, sublicense, commercially distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the Licensed Materials themselves; b. use the Licensed Materials, substantially similar portions of them, or derivative versions of them to provide website-development, template, theme, hosting, software-as-a-service, or similar services to third parties; c. redistribute or publicly publish copies of the Licensed Materials, whether modified or unmodified, except where the copyright holder has already made those Materials publicly available; d. distribute, publish, sublicense, or publicly deploy a modified or derivative version of the Licensed Materials, except for modifications expressly permitted to an Authorized Recipient under Section 2 or separately authorized in writing; e. remove, falsify, or obscure copyright notices, license notices, or authorship notices contained within the source code or accompanying files; f. represent yourself as the original author of the Licensed Materials; or g. use the name, trademarks, logos, or identity of the copyright holder or contributors to imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation without specific prior written permission. ## 4. No Public Attribution Requirement This License does not require a visible credit, attribution notice, badge, footer link, or other public acknowledgment on a website using the Licensed Materials. Copyright and license notices contained in source files or accompanying documentation must, however, be preserved where reasonably practicable. Nothing in this section grants permission to falsely claim authorship of the Licensed Materials. ## 5. Modifications Unless you are an Authorized Recipient exercising the limited rights provided by Section 2, you may create modified versions of the Licensed Materials only for private, non-commercial experimentation and evaluation. You may not distribute, publish, publicly deploy, sublicense, sell, or otherwise provide such modified versions to another person without prior written permission from the copyright holder. Modifications made privately do not transfer ownership of the original Licensed Materials. ## 6. Commercial Exploitation For purposes of this License, **"Commercial Exploitation"** includes selling, licensing, renting, sublicensing, monetizing, or providing the Licensed Materials, or substantial portions of them, as a product or service. Commercial Exploitation also includes using the Licensed Materials as a reusable template, theme, framework, or development base in return for money or other commercial benefit. Merely operating an authorized website for a business, charity, school, organization, or other Authorized Recipient does not constitute Commercial Exploitation of the Licensed Materials under this section. ## 7. Separate Permissions The copyright holder may grant additional permissions, commercial licenses, modification rights, redistribution rights, or other exceptions in writing. Such permissions apply only to the person, organization, project, or use specified in that authorization and do not modify this License for anyone else. The copyright holder is free to license the same or similar Licensed Materials to other parties under different terms. ## 8. Third-Party Materials Third-Party Materials included with or used by the project remain governed by their respective licenses. Nothing in this License limits rights independently granted under a third-party license, nor does this License grant rights in third-party trademarks, copyrighted works, or other intellectual property. Where the terms of this License conflict with the applicable license for Third-Party Materials, the third-party license controls with respect to those materials. ## 9. Termination The rights granted under this License automatically terminate if you materially violate its conditions. If the violation is corrected within 30 days after you become aware of it, the copyright holder may, at their discretion, restore the rights granted under this License. Termination of rights under this License does not affect rights that you possess independently under applicable law or under another valid agreement with the copyright holder. ## 10. No Trademark License This License grants rights in copyrightable Licensed Materials only. No permission is granted to use any trademark, service mark, organization name, logo, domain name, trade dress, or other identifier except as necessary to identify the origin of the Licensed Materials or as separately authorized. ## 11. Exceptions and Limitations Nothing in this License is intended to restrict uses that do not require permission from the copyright holder under applicable law, including applicable copyright exceptions and limitations. ## 12. Disclaimer of Warranty THE LICENSED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR THEIR USE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ## 13. No Transfer of Ownership Except where expressly agreed otherwise in writing, providing, deploying, or giving access to a website does not transfer ownership of the copyright in the Licensed Materials. The Authorized Recipient owns its Recipient Content and retains whatever rights they independently hold in their trademarks, branding, data, and other materials. The copyright holder retains ownership of the Licensed Materials and all rights not expressly granted by this License. --- **CWSL-1.0 — Controlled Website Source License 1.0** This is a source-available license.
