Business Source License 1.1

Licensor:             Satoshi Ltd. (Hong Kong SAR)
Licensed Work:        alpi — the source code in this repository at the
                      time the Licensed Work is accessed.
                      The Licensed Work is © 2026 Satoshi Ltd.
Additional Use Grant: You may make production use of the Licensed Work,
                      provided your use does not include offering the
                      Licensed Work, or any derivative work based on it,
                      to third parties on a hosted, embedded, or
                      managed-service basis. Natural persons using the
                      Licensed Work on machines they personally control
                      are covered by this grant for all personal,
                      research, and non-commercial purposes. Legal
                      entities (companies, organisations, partnerships,
                      trusts, government bodies) are covered only for
                      internal evaluation, development, and
                      experimentation — production deployment by a
                      legal entity requires a commercial licence from
                      the Licensor.
Change Date:          2030-04-23
Change License:       Apache License, Version 2.0

The Licensor hereby grants you the right to copy, modify, create
derivative works, redistribute, and make non-production use of the

permitting limited production use.

Effective on the Change Date, or the fourth anniversary of the first
publicly available distribution of a specific version of the Licensed
Work under this Licence, whichever comes first, the Licensor hereby
grants you rights under the terms of the Change Licence, and the
rights granted in the paragraph above terminate.

If your use of the Licensed Work does not comply with the

All copies of the original and modified Licensed Work, and derivative
works of the Licensed Work, are subject to this Licence. This Licence
applies separately for each version of the Licensed Work and the
Change Date may vary for each version of the Licensed Work released
by Licensor.

You must conspicuously display this Licence on each original or
modified copy of the Licensed Work. If you receive the Licensed Work
in original or modified form from a third party, the terms and
conditions set forth in this Licence apply to your use of that work.

Any use of the Licensed Work in violation of this Licence will
automatically terminate your rights under this Licence for the
current and all other versions of the Licensed Work.

This Licence does not grant you any right in any trademark or logo
of Licensor or its affiliates (provided that you may use a trademark
or logo of Licensor as expressly required by this Licence).
