shankar0123 5411c12841 license: flip Licensor to certctl LLC
Phase 0 closure (Path B2, post-rewrite): the codebase is now legally
owned by certctl LLC, the operator's incorporated entity. The BSL 1.1
Licensor field and the © copyright statement both flip from the
natural-person 'Shankar Kambam' to the legal entity 'certctl LLC'.
This is the legal-entity layer of Phase 0 — the git-history layer
landed in the rewrite that produced this commit's parent's parent.

The Additional Use Grant carve-out ('Commercial Certificate Service'),
the Change Date (March 14, 2076), and the rest of the BSL parameters
are unchanged.

Business Source License 1.1
Parameters
Licensor: certctl LLC
Licensed Work: certctl
The Licensed Work is © 2026 certctl LLC.
Additional Use Grant: You may make use of the Licensed Work, including in
production for your internal business operations and
for operations that provide products or services to
your own customers, provided that you may not offer
the Licensed Work as a Commercial Certificate Service.
A "Commercial Certificate Service" is any product
or service that provides third parties with access
to or control of any substantial set of the
certificate management functionality of the Licensed
Work — including but not limited to lifecycle
management, discovery, monitoring, alerting, renewal
automation, deployment, revocation, certificate
authority operation, certificate issuance,
certificate signing, or any combination thereof —
where compensation, in any form, is received in
connection with such access or control. This
restriction applies irrespective of whether such
functionality is the principal, ancillary,
supporting, or one of several values provided by the
product or service, and irrespective of whether the
Licensed Work is presented under its original name,
a modified name, or no name at all.
For the avoidance of doubt:
(a) you may run the Licensed Work in production to
manage certificates for products or services
that you offer to your customers, where the
principal value of those products or services is
something other than the Licensed Work's
certificate management functionality (for
example, you operate a banking application and
use the Licensed Work internally to manage TLS
certificates for that application);
(b) for the purposes of this Additional Use Grant,
"third party" excludes (i) your employees, (ii)
your contractors acting on your behalf, and
(iii) your Affiliates. "Affiliate" means any
entity that (1) directly or indirectly controls
you, (2) is directly or indirectly controlled by
you, or (3) is directly or indirectly under
common control with you, where "control" means
either (A) ownership of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting interests of the entity, or
(B) the power to direct the management and
policies of the entity, whether through voting
securities, contract, or otherwise;
(c) the restriction on offering a Commercial
Certificate Service applies regardless of whether
the Licensed Work is hosted, managed, embedded,
bundled, or integrated with another product or
service.

Business Source License 1.1
Terms
The Licensor hereby grants you the right to copy, modify, create derivative
works, redistribute, and make non-production use of the Licensed Work. The
Licensor may make an Additional Use Grant, above, permitting limited production
use.
Effective on the Change Date, the Licensor hereby grants you rights under
the terms of the Change License, and the rights granted in the paragraph
above terminate.
If your use of the Licensed Work does not comply with the requirements
currently in effect as described in this License, you must purchase a
commercial license from the Licensor, its affiliated entities, or authorized
resellers, or you must refrain from using the Licensed Work. Rights granted
under any commercial license from the Licensor are personal to the licensee
and may not be sublicensed, transferred, assigned, or resold to any third
party without the Licensor's prior written consent. Any attempted sublicense,
transfer, assignment, or resale in violation of this provision is void.
Restricted Activities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License,
you may not:
(i) provide the Licensed Work or substantially similar functionality
to third parties as a hosted, managed, embedded, bundled, or
integrated service, except as expressly permitted in the
Additional Use Grant;
(ii) move, change, disable, circumvent, or work around any license,
security, attribution, audit-trail, or feature-gating
functionality contained in the Licensed Work; or
(iii) alter or remove any license, copyright, attribution, trademark,
or other notice from the Licensed Work, its derivatives, or any
substantial portion thereof.
All copies of the original and modified Licensed Work, and derivative works
of the Licensed Work, are subject to this License. This License 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 License 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
License apply to your use of that work.
Patent non-assertion. During the term of this License, Licensor covenants
not to assert any patent claim that Licensor controls against any person
whose use of the Licensed Work complies with this License, with respect to
the Licensed Work as distributed by Licensor. This covenant terminates with
respect to any person who initiates a patent infringement action against
the Licensor or against any contributor to the Licensed Work.
Termination and reinstatement. Any use of the Licensed Work in violation of
this License will automatically terminate your rights under this License
for the current and all other versions of the Licensed Work. Your rights
are reinstated automatically if you cease the violation and provide written
notice to the Licensor at the contact address above within thirty (30) days
of becoming aware of the violation. If you violate this License a second
time after such reinstatement, your rights are not subject to further
reinstatement.
Contributions. The Licensor does not accept third-party contributions to
the Licensed Work. Any code, documentation, or other material submitted to
the Licensor or to any repository hosting the Licensed Work is provided at
the submitter's sole risk, confers no rights or obligations on the
Licensor, and is not incorporated into the Licensed Work.
Trademark and naming. This License does not grant you any right in any
trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo of the Licensor or its
Affiliates. Forks, derivative works, and modifications of the Licensed Work
must not use the name "certctl," any name confusingly similar to "certctl,"
or any Licensor trademark in their distributed form, marketing materials,
package metadata, or service offerings.
Governing law and venue. This License shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any dispute
arising from or relating to this License shall be brought exclusively in
the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida, and the
parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
Severability. If any provision of this License is held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that holding does not
affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of
this License, which remains in full force and effect.
Survival. The disclaimers of warranty, the patent non-assertion provisions
(with respect to acts occurring before termination), the governing-law and
venue provisions, and this survival provision survive any termination of
this License.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED ON
AN "AS IS" BASIS. LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND
