text: "**ACKI NACKI GOSSIP IGNITER LICENSE (ANGI License)**\n\nVersion 1.0\n\n---\n\n1. **Preamble**\
  \  \n   This License governs the use, reproduction, distribution, and modification of the\
  \ Acki Nacki Gossip Igniter (“Igniter”) software. The Igniter, also referred to as a Decentralized\
  \ Network Starter Protocol (DNSP), is designed to collect node and license information, test\
  \ and update node software, and initiate zero-state (the first block) generation once all\
  \ DNSP requirements are met.\n\n2. **Open Source Grant**  \n   Subject to the terms of this\
  \ License, GOSH (“the Licensor”) hereby grants you (“the Licensee”) a perpetual, worldwide,\
  \ non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable permission to:  \n   1. Use, copy, modify,\
  \ merge, publish, distribute, and/or sublicense copies of the Igniter;  \n   2. Allow third\
  \ parties to whom the Igniter is furnished to do the same.  \n\n3. **Automatic Updates and\
  \ Resource Usage**  \n   1. **Monitoring and Updating**: Once installed *unmodified*, the\
  \ Igniter will monitor the Acki Nacki Docker Hub repository for newly available binaries of\
  \ the Acki Nacki Node software and updated versions of the Igniter. When new binaries or updates\
  \ are available, Igniter will automatically download, install, and run them without seeking\
  \ further permission.  \n   2. **Consent to Updates**: By installing the Igniter software\
  \ *unmodified*, you explicitly consent to all future updates and agree to run the updated\
  \ software on your system.  \n   3. **Resource Usage**: You acknowledge and agree that the\
  \ Igniter may use the computing and network resources of your machine to operate as intended,\
  \ including but not limited to participating in decentralized network activities and zero-state\
  \ generation.\n\n4. **Conditions for Modified Versions**  \n   1. If you modify the Igniter,\
  \ you must clearly mark and document your changes, including a prominent notice that your\
  \ version is different from the official Acki Nacki Gossip Igniter.  \n   2. You must not\
  \ misrepresent your modified version as an unmodified original Igniter.  \n   3. Modifications\
  \ that disable or alter the automatic update functionality described in Section 3 must be\
  \ clearly documented, and any obligations regarding disclaimers and liability limitations\
  \ outlined in this License must remain intact.\n\n5. **Disclaimer of Warranty**  \n   **TO\
  \ THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE IGNITER IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT\
  \ WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF\
  \ MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.**  \n   The entire\
  \ risk as to the quality and performance of the Igniter is with you. Should the Igniter prove\
  \ defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.\n\n6.\
  \ **Limitation of Liability**  \n   1. **No Liability**: **UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL GOSH\
  \ (THE LICENSOR), OR ANY CONTRIBUTORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY—WHETHER\
  \ IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE—ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH\
  \ THE IGNITER OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE IGNITER.**  \n   2. **Hold Harmless**: By\
  \ installing or using the Igniter, you agree to hold GOSH harmless from and against any and\
  \ all claims arising out of or related to the Igniter, including any updates or resource usage.\
  \  \n   3. **Acknowledgment**: You acknowledge that this software automatically updates without\
  \ further notice, and you accept any risks associated with such updates. If you disagree with\
  \ these terms, **do not install or use the Igniter**.\n\n7. **Termination**  \n   1. This\
  \ License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if you breach any\
  \ term or condition of this License.  \n   2. Upon termination, you must cease all use, reproduction,\
  \ and distribution of the Igniter.  \n   3. Termination of this License will not affect the\
  \ right of others who have received copies of the Igniter from you under this License, provided\
  \ such parties remain in full compliance.\n\n8. **Integration with Other Licenses**  \n  \
  \ This License does not supersede or modify the terms of any separate license for any open-source\
  \ components or libraries distributed with or incorporated into the Igniter. Where such licenses\
  \ apply, you must comply with their respective terms in addition to the terms of this License.\n\
  \n9. **Acceptance**  \n   Installing, using, or distributing the Igniter in part or in whole,\
  \ with or without modification, constitutes acceptance of this License. If you do not agree\
  \ with any of the terms and conditions, you must not install or use the Igniter.\n\n10. **Miscellaneous**\
  \  \n   1. **Severability**: If any provision of this License is found to be unenforceable,\
  \ the remaining provisions will remain in effect.  \n   2. **No Partnership**: Nothing in\
  \ this License is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture\
  \ between you and the Licensor.  \n   3. **Governing Law**: This License shall be governed\
  \ by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, without\
  \ regard to its conflict of law principles.\n\n---\n\n**END OF ACKI NACKI GOSSIP IGNITER LICENSE**\
