------------------------------ The Limited Open Source License for "theGreenHouse" ------------------------------
This license governs the use, modification, and distribution of all materials within the "theGreenHouse" project,
a state-of-the-art greenhouse system developed and maintained by Bhanuka Bandara, Ruvindi Jayasooriya
Muditha Pasan, Yashara Wanigasekara, Safak Ahamed, and Sandini Imesha. This includes, but is not limited to,
source code, Arduino code, mobile applications, documentation, and any other files contained within this
repository.
Open Source with Limitations:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"theGreenHouse" is released as open-source, but with specific limitations to ensure responsible and ethical use.
This license grants you the right to access, study, modify, and distribute all materials within this repository.
Commercial Use:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For commercial applications, you are required to modify at least 45% of the original "theGreenHouse" materials.
This modification ensures that your product is not simply a repackaged version of our work, but rather a distinct
and original creation. In all commercial applications, you must prominently acknowledge the original contributors
(Bhanuka Bandara, Ruvindi Jayasooriya, Muditha Pasan, Yashara Wanigasekara, Safak Ahamed, and Sandini Imesha) and
provide a clear link to the official repository of "theGreenHouse" project.
Non-Academic Private Use:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are free to use "theGreenHouse" materials for private, non-academic purposes without any modifications. This
includes personal projects, hobbyist endeavors, and internal use within your organization.
Academic Use:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For academic purposes, including university projects, school assignments, research papers, and educational
materials (such as YouTube videos, books, or online courses), you are required to modify at least 25% of the
"theGreenHouse" materials. This modification ensures that your academic work demonstrates your understanding
and application of the concepts presented in "theGreenHouse," rather than simply relying on our pre-built
olution. In all academic applications, you must clearly acknowledge the "theGreenHouse" project by providing a
link to the official repository.
Inspiration and Derivative Works:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We encourage you to be inspired by "theGreenHouse" and develop your own innovative projects based on its
concepts. While you are free to build upon our ideas, please remember that the original concept and design
belong to the listed contributors. It is considered good practice to acknowledge the inspiration you drew
from "theGreenHouse" in your own work.
Liability:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original authors of "theGreenHouse" are not liable for any damages, losses, or liabilities arising from the use,
modification, or distribution of the materials. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of
"theGreenHouse" complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Encouraging Active Development:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We strongly encourage users to contribute to the development of "theGreenHouse" by creating forks of the repository
and submitting pull requests with their improvements and modifications. We believe in fostering a collaborative and
active community around this project.
Prohibition on AI Training:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the "theGreenHouse" materials for training artificial intelligence (AI) models is strictly prohibited.
