Personal and non-commercial use
View, share, clone, study, reference and adapt the repository for personal, educational, artistic, research, community and other non-commercial work.
A Strange But True commons
Read it. Explore it. Learn from it. Keep the origin visible.
Aura Direct Hardware uses the Strange But True Public Source Licence. It welcomes personal, educational, artistic, research, community and other non-commercial exploration while reserving commercial and corporate rights to Luke Nathan Hayes.
The public source relationship
Open minds meet honest provenance.
This is a public source licence, not an open-source licence. The source remains visible for learning, adaptation and non-commercial use. Schools, universities, co-operatives, charities, community bodies and government programmes stay inside that relationship for genuinely non-commercial educational, research and community work. Commercial use, procurement, paid delivery and closed organisational deployment sit under a separate written agreement.
Keep the trail alive
Name Aura Direct Hardware, Luke Nathan Hayes, Strange But True and Aura of Intelligence, then link back to the original project.
Your outputs belong to you
Your own notes, maps, plans, exports and other personal outputs remain yours. You choose what you create and where you share it.
Commercial relationships
Commercial rights stay reserved.
Selling, monetising, repackaging, sponsoring, commercial AI training, paid products, client work, procurement, paid service delivery and closed organisational deployment need a separate written agreement with Luke Nathan Hayes.
Third-party relationships
Every component keeps its own terms.
Third-party libraries, fonts, APIs, platforms, photographs, datasets, chip designs, services and embedded material travel with their own ownership and licences.

Care and reality
Joyful, responsible abundance stays part of the design.
The licence rejects deceptive, exploitative, aggressive, hateful, harassing, unsafe and harmful use. The repository is provided as-is, without warranties or liability. Public prototypes remain experiments. A statement from Luke does not replace independent evidence, professional judgement, certification, regulation or the duties of the people who deploy the work.
