| 13 | +PREAMBLE |
| 14 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +This License extends the Palimpsest-MPL License v1.0 (PMPL-1.0) (PMPL-1.0) with provisions |
| 17 | +for ethical use, post-quantum cryptographic provenance, and emotional lineage |
| 18 | +protection. The base PMPL-1.0 terms apply except where explicitly modified by |
| 19 | +the Exhibits below. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Like a palimpsest manuscript where each layer builds upon what came before, |
| 22 | +this license recognizes that creative works carry history, context, and meaning |
| 23 | +that transcend mere code or text. |

| 70 | + attributions, and symbolic meaning where documented. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +3.2. Non-Interpretive System Notice |
| 73 | + If You use Covered Software as input to a Non-Interpretive System, You |
| 74 | + must: |
| 75 | + (a) document such use in a publicly accessible manner; and |
| 76 | + (b) not claim that outputs of such systems carry the Emotional Lineage |
| 77 | + of the original work without explicit permission from Contributors. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +3.3. Ethical Use Declaration |
| 80 | + Commercial use of Covered Software requires acknowledgment that You have |
| 81 | + read and understood Exhibit A (Ethical Use Guidelines) and agree to act |

| 99 | + |
| 100 | +4.3. Lineage Chain |
| 101 | + When creating derivative works, You should extend the provenance chain |
| 102 | + to include Your own contributions, maintaining cryptographic linkage to |
| 103 | + prior Contributors where feasible. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +See Exhibit B for Quantum-Safe Provenance specifications. |
