ON THE TOPIC OF SOFTWARE LICENSURE

I, Jacob Gadikian, have created the software "Beach" at https://github.com/faddat/beach in conjunction with the team/community surrounding Neo Holdings, LLC. The design was led by Clint Nelsen and upon seeing an excellent concept, our team sprang into motion.

I have thus far elected not to have a formal contract with Neo Holdings, LLC, and none of the various typical documents that relate to the employment of an engineer or development of intellectual property / assignation of IP to Neo Holdings presently exist. Discussions to create such documents are underway, and I will likely guide them into a bespoke form that fits my personal context. In lieu of those documents, and in keeping with my care and respect for colleagues who take earnest risk for lofty goals,

I hereby assign all beach-related property rights to Neo Holdings ...

voluntarily, because it serves my personal economic and strategic goals.
In turn, Neo Holdings has requested that I design an MIT+Rider license for Beach, with the following aims:

It should protect us from those who might seek to harm our economic interests, and allow us as a team / our user communty. Beach's governance system will be used to approve or deny the right to fork this code base. Votes of "Yes" grant a perpetual license to use the beach source code in any way desired.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS GIVEN AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY REASON. BEACH MAY EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE OR GIVE YOU CANCER. BEACH IS RISKY. YOU ASSUME THIS RISK, AND NEO HOLDINGS ACCEPTS NO LIABLITY. NO USAGE OF THIS CODE BY INDIVIDUALS OTHER THAN THOSE NAMED IN CONFIG.YML -- THE NEO HOLDINGS TEAM -- ARE PERMITTED TO USE THIS CODE UNTIL GENESIS TIME. AFTER GENESIS, THOSE WHO WISH TO USE BEACH MUST CREATE A GOVERNANCE PROPOSAL IF THEY WISH TO USE EVEN A SINGLE LINE OF THIS CODE EXCEPT IN CASES WHERE A SCAFFOLDING TOOL, SUCH AS STARPORT, MAY PRODUCE A LINE OF CODE IDENTICAL TO BEACH.

It should allow for 100% auditablity. No binary blobs. No proprietary code. Full reviews possible no compromises. Auditability must meet the standards of @jaekwon, or our work --or maybe our license riders-- is invalid and doesn't meet our standards for transparency and accountability. Please create an issue or otherwise.

It took over ten years to be able to make something like "Beach" as rapidly as we did at Neo, and we wish to thank all of the engineers businesspeople. and enthusiastic users who explored cryptocurrency problem sets before us, leading to the creation of tools like Starport, the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, Golang, Linux, Gnolang, and the various bits and bobs of encryption that beach uses to ensure that folks who make transactions, hold the corresponding private key. Shout out to Satoshi, to Sunny King, and to the mathemeticians whose ideas they put into commercial application.

Developing Beach's software stack took decades, and we are very grateful to all of the engineers who made the difficult decision to openly license their work. We hope we are not breaking such schemes, and feel that the token holders really should be the ones who get to make such licensure choices.

Our business team could only do the right noodling on beach because they've noodled a great deal of noodles across a great deal of challenging projects-- mainly failures. Beach exists because of combined decades of willingness to try hard things and fail. In business, hard/new things fail over 95% of the time. In technology / R&D, failure rates are similar.
SUMMARY: YOU MAY NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM BEACH GOVERNANCE.

WE LOVE YOU.
