codex-pokepets License
=======================

This repository contains two distinct kinds of material with different
terms. Both are covered by this single file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1 — Install scripts and registry metadata (MIT License)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Copyright (c) 2025 Danny Nguyen

The "Code Material" covered by this section consists of:
  - the install script (install-pet.sh)
  - the pet metadata files (pets/<slug>/pet.json)
  - the registry (pets.json)
  - the documentation (README.md, AGENTS.md)
  - any other text or JSON file in this repository that does not embed
    Pokémon character art

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 — Pet sprite imagery (fan-use, derivative of third-party art)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Sprite Material" covered by this section consists of:
  - every spritesheet.webp file under pets/<slug>/
  - every preview.gif file under pets/<slug>/
  - assets/hero.gif and any other rendered showcase image
  - any other file in this repository that visibly contains Pokémon
    character art

The Sprite Material is a derivative work of two third-party animated
sprite sets:
  - Pokémon Black & White animated sprites originally produced by
    Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and Nintendo for the Pokémon video
    games (2010–2012), obtained from the public PokeAPI/sprites
    repository (https://github.com/PokeAPI/sprites), which has hosted
    them openly since 2014. Used for the 2D pets (Gen 1–5).
  - Pokémon Showdown community-animated sprites
    (https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/), publicly hosted.
    Used for the 3D pets (Gen 1–9, slug suffix `-3d`).

Each source GIF was transformed into a Codex-compatible sprite atlas
using deterministic frame operations; no new sprite art was generated,
and every pixel in the output traces back to the original third-party
sprite sets.

  Creatures Inc.

Pokémon, Pokémon character names, and all character sprites are
trademarks and copyright of Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokémon
Company. This project is a fan work and is NOT affiliated with,
endorsed by, or sponsored by any of those companies.

The MIT terms in Part 1 do NOT apply to the Sprite Material. The MIT
license cannot grant permission for material the author does not own.
Use of the Sprite Material is permitted only under the limited fan-use
terms below.

Permitted use of the Sprite Material:
  - Personal Codex pet companions (private installation in
    ~/.codex/pets/)
  - Non-commercial fan tooling and personal projects
  - Educational demonstrations of sprite-pipeline techniques

Not permitted use of the Sprite Material:
  - Commercial products or paid services
  - Merchandise of any kind
  - Bulk redistribution as your own pet pack
  - Inclusion in projects that monetize Pokémon imagery

Removal requests:
  If you represent Nintendo, Game Freak, or Creatures Inc. and want
  this repository taken down, open an issue on the repository or
  contact the maintainer directly. The Code Material covered by Part 1
  will remain; only the Sprite Material will be removed.
