  Keychron Source-Available License

  Copyright (c) 2024-present Keychron (Keychron Technology, Inc)

  This project is source-available. Commercial use of the design files is limited as described below, except that original compatible accessories and add-ons are not subject to the commercial-use restriction in this license when they follow the accessory conditions below.

  PERMISSIONS — You MAY:

    1. View, download, and study the design files for personal or
       educational purposes.
    2. Modify the files and create derivative works for personal,
       non-commercial use (e.g., 3D printing a custom case for yourself).
    3. Share the original, unmodified files with others, provided this
       license and copyright notice are included in full.
    4. Reference or cite the files in academic or educational contexts.
    5. Design, manufacture, and sell original accessories or add-ons that
       are compatible with Keychron products. Such accessories and add-ons
       are not subject to the commercial-use restriction in this license,
       provided that:
       - the accessory is not a keyboard, mouse, or a substantially similar
         copy of a Keychron product;
       - the accessory does not copy or reproduce a complete Keychron
         keyboard or mouse design from these files; and
       - you do not use Keychron trademarks, logos, or branding except for
         truthful compatibility statements such as "compatible with
         Keychron Q1".

  RESTRICTIONS — You MAY NOT:

    1. Use the files, or any derivative of them, for commercial purposes.
       unless that use is expressly allowed under Permission 5 above.
    2. Sublicense, relicense, or redistribute modified versions of the
       files without prior written permission from Keychron.
    3. Remove or alter this license notice, copyright notice, or any
       attribution to Keychron.
    4. Represent derivative works as officially endorsed by Keychron.
    5. Manufacture, sell, offer for sale, or distribute keyboards, mice,
       or substantially similar products based on these files or their
       derivatives.
    6. Use Keychron trademarks, logos, product names, or other branding as
       your own branding, in a way that implies source or endorsement, or
       in a way that is likely to confuse customers. Compatibility
       references must remain descriptive and must not imply official
       authorization.

  COMMERCIAL ACCESSORY USE:

  Original compatible accessories and add-ons are not subject to the
  commercial-use restriction in this license, provided they comply with
  Permission 5 and the restrictions above.

  If you want to manufacture or sell keyboards, mice, or other products
  that reproduce Keychron product designs, you must obtain prior written
  permission from Keychron.
