Licensing and use of MCIFT materials

Ownership

Copyright © 2026 Martin Kasala. All rights reserved.

Unless otherwise stated, the source code, interface design, written content, diagrams, posters, animations, visualizations, branding, and other original material published through this website are owned by Martin Kasala and protected by applicable copyright and intellectual-property laws.

Access to the website does not transfer ownership or grant an implied licence to copy, modify, redistribute, republish, host, sell, sublicense, or incorporate its materials into another product or service.

Public implementation

The public MCIFT Python implementation is published on GitHub under AGPL-3.0-only. The licence in the public package repository governs that implementation.

A separate commercial licence may be available from the copyright holder. Public AGPL releases remain available under the terms under which they were published.

The package licence does not automatically apply to:

• this website;
• the MCIFT-Lab source code;
• website copy;
• branding;
• logos;
• research posters;
• exported animations or videos;
• commercial services;
• separately licensed software.

Website software

The MCIFT-Lab website software is proprietary unless a specific file explicitly identifies another licence.

No permission is granted to copy, modify, redistribute, host, sell, sublicense, create a competing hosted version, or create derivative software from the website source code without prior written permission.

Use of third-party libraries remains governed by their respective licences.

Research content and visualizations

The website contains schematic models, computational mappings, diagrams, posters, animations, and written research explanations.

These materials may be viewed, linked to, discussed, criticised, and cited in accordance with applicable law.

Unless permission is granted separately, they may not be:

• republished in full;
• redistributed as an asset collection;
• modified and presented as original work;
• sold or sublicensed;
• incorporated into commercial software, courses, publications, advertising, datasets, or media products;
• used to imply endorsement, collaboration, or scientific validation.

When referring to MCIFT materials, clearly identify MCIFT and Martin Kasala as the source and do not remove copyright or research-status notices.

Mathematical ideas

Copyright does not prevent independent discussion, criticism, testing, or development of mathematical ideas and concepts where permitted by law.

However, the specific source code, written explanations, diagrams, animations, datasets, visual compositions, parameter selections, and other original expressions of those ideas remain protected.

Publication of an idea does not grant permission to copy its protected implementation or presentation.

Dual and commercial licensing

As the copyright holder, Martin Kasala may make MCIFT software and research material available under different licences.

A separate written agreement may permit commercial, proprietary, academic, research, educational, consulting, integration, media, or redistribution uses that are not permitted under the public terms.

Previously released AGPL versions remain available under the terms under which they were published. A separate commercial licence may provide different permissions for the same or related material.

MCIFT name and branding

MCIFT, Multi-Channel Information Field Theory, associated project names, logos, visual identity, and source-identifying marks are reserved.

No permission is granted to use them in a manner that:

• suggests endorsement or affiliation;
• causes confusion about authorship or origin;
• identifies an unrelated product or service;
• misrepresents a modified implementation as an official MCIFT release.

Permitted references

Without requesting separate permission, visitors may generally:

• link to public MCIFT webpages;
• quote limited portions for commentary, criticism, news reporting, or academic discussion where permitted by law;
• cite a public repository according to normal academic and technical practice;
• evaluate the public demonstrations;
• propose validation or research collaboration.

These permissions do not override the terms of an applicable repository licence or local law.

Prohibited uses

Without prior written permission, visitors may not:

• scrape and republish substantial portions of the website;
• distribute the research media as a standalone collection;
• remove attribution or copyright notices;
• falsely claim authorship;
• imply scientific validation that has not occurred;
• use the materials to market a competing or unrelated product as official MCIFT technology;
• use the website or demonstrations in safety-critical decisions without independent validation.

Third-party components

The website uses third-party software, fonts, icons, hosting services, and development tools.

Those components remain subject to their own licences and terms. Nothing on this page changes the rights granted by their respective copyright holders.

Where required, applicable third-party notices and attribution must be retained in the source repository and distributions.

Research status and no warranty

MCIFT is experimental deterministic research software.

The website’s demonstrations, simulations, mappings, and visualizations are exploratory models. They are not experimental confirmation, certified diagnostics, engineering approval, or guarantees of operational performance.

The website and materials are provided for informational and research purposes without warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, or operational reliability, to the extent permitted by law.

They must not replace established engineering, scientific, medical, financial, legal, cybersecurity, or safety procedures.
