# Trademark
The **code** in this repository is MIT licensed. Take it, change it, ship it,
sell it — that licence means what it says and none of this narrows it.
The **name** is not part of that grant. MIT covers copyright; it is silent on
trademarks, and nothing here licenses one.
## What this covers
- The name **keyRX**, in any capitalisation or spacing
- The keyRX logo - the seal mark - and any mark used to identify this project
- The domain **keyrx.tech** and the account **@keyRX**
- The files under `assets/` — logo, wordmark, banner, favicons. They carry
their own notice (`assets/LICENSE`) and are **not** part of the MIT grant.
The code is free; the brand is not.
keyRX™ is an unregistered mark claimed through use. First public use:
August 2026.
## If you fork this
**Rebrand it.** Pick your own name, your own mark, your own domain. You may
absolutely ship a competing product built on this code — that is the whole point
of the licence — but ship it as yours, not as this.
Please do not:
- Name your fork keyRX, or a name close enough to be mistaken for it
- Use the logo, or a variation of it, to identify your project
- Register a domain or social account that reads as an official keyRX one
- Describe your fork as "official", "the new keyRX", or endorsed by anyone here
## What you may always do
Referring to this project by name is normal and welcome. None of the above stops
you saying any of the following:
- "a fork of keyRX"
- "based on keyRX"
- "compatible with keyRX providers"
- "keyRX is a similar tool"
The distinction is simple: describing a relationship to this project is fine,
claiming to *be* it is not.
## What is and is not covered, plainly
MIT covers every line of code, and with it the whole way this thing looks -
the double-line frames, the gauge bars, the palette. Someone may build a tool
that looks exactly like this. What they may not do is call it keyRX, put
this mark on it, or point a lookalike domain or account at it. The design is
free to imitate; the identity is not free to take.
## The honest part
This mark is not registered. Rights in an unregistered name come from using it,
they are narrower than a registered mark, and enforcing them is expensive. This
file is not a legal threat and there is no lawyer behind it.
It is here because almost everyone who forks an open-source project is acting in
good faith and will happily rename when asked — and because a request that was
made in writing beforehand is a great deal easier to honour than one made after
the fact.
If you want to use the name for something, ask: **dev@keyrx.tech**. The answer
is often yes.
