License: NightFront End User License Agreement

Copyright (c) 2026 Jeff Ridder. All rights reserved.

This software is proprietary. It is licensed, not sold. By installing or using
NightFront you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, do not install or
use the software.

In this agreement, "the Software" means the NightFront desktop application, the
nightfront-cli executable, the NightFront plugin for N.I.N.A., and any
accompanying files, documentation and updates supplied by the copyright holder.

Versions of the NightFront N.I.N.A. plugin up to and including 1.26.0.0 were
published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Those releases remain governed
by that license, which is not withdrawn by this agreement; this agreement
governs version 2.0.0.0 and later.


1. GRANT OF LICENSE

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license
to install and use the Software on computers you own or control, for your own
astrophotography, for as long as you comply with this agreement.


2. RESTRICTIONS

Except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this
restriction, you may not:

  (a) copy, publish, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise
      make the Software available to any third party;

  (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive
      the source code, algorithms or internal structure of the Software;

  (c) modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the Software;

  (d) remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary
      notice contained in or displayed by the Software; or

  (e) use the Software to develop a competing product.

Nothing in this section limits any right you have under applicable law that
cannot be waived by agreement, including any statutory right to decompile the
Software to the extent strictly necessary to achieve interoperability with an
independently created program.


3. OWNERSHIP

The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and
treaties. The copyright holder retains all right, title and interest in and to
the Software, including all intellectual property rights in it. This agreement
grants you no rights in the Software other than the limited license expressly
stated in section 1.


4. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

The Software incorporates third-party open-source components, each of which
remains governed by its own license. Those licenses take precedence over this
agreement with respect to those components. The components redistributed with
the N.I.N.A. plugin are listed in the accompanying THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt.

The N.I.N.A. plugin is built against the N.I.N.A. application programming
interface. N.I.N.A. is published by Stefan Berg and the N.I.N.A. contributors
under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. No part of N.I.N.A. is distributed with
the Software; it is supplied by your own N.I.N.A. installation.


5. NO WARRANTY

THE SOFTWARE 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.

NightFront produces observing schedules and sequence files that may be used to
operate telescopes, mounts, cameras and other equipment, including unattended
overnight operation, and its N.I.N.A. plugin loads and executes those plans
within N.I.N.A. The copyright holder does not warrant that any schedule, plan
or exported sequence is correct, safe or suitable for your equipment or site.
You are solely responsible for supervising your equipment and for verifying
that any plan the Software produces is safe to execute.


6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER 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 SOFTWARE OR THE USE OF OR OTHER DEALINGS
IN THE SOFTWARE. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF
EQUIPMENT, LOSS OF OBSERVING TIME OR IMAGE DATA, AND ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain
warranties or liabilities, so parts of sections 5 and 6 may not apply to you.


7. TERMINATION

This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On
termination you must stop using the Software and delete all copies of it in
your possession. Sections 3 through 6 survive termination.
