ATTRIBUTION

For an unmodified copy of the full release, a suitable attribution is:

“Constellations & Diamonds Public Release v0.3, originated and stewarded by The Gnome, licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/”

If one unmodified document is shared separately, preserve its complete header, identify it as one component rather than the complete protocol, and retain this license reference and its original release version.

OFFICIAL-RELEASE IDENTITY AND NAMING POLICY

The names “Constellations & Diamonds” and “the Mirror Protocol” identify official releases stewarded by The Gnome. This policy clarifies source and identity; it is not a claim that either name is a registered trademark, and it does not restrict accurate reference, commentary, criticism, scholarship, or review.

Unmodified copies may retain the project names and their original version designation. Private personal customizations may accurately refer to their source. Modified, abridged, translated, recombined, or independently implemented materials may not be presented as official Constellations & Diamonds releases, assigned an official project version, or use the project names as their primary title without separate permission. Only The Gnome may designate a work as an official component or release of the Mirror Protocol. No use may imply endorsement, certification, partnership, sponsorship, or approval by The Gnome.

The moniker may be used for accurate attribution, but not as another person's identity, project persona, endorsement, or promotional identity.

EXCLUSIONS AND THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL

This license applies only to material The Gnome has authority to license. Any quoted, third-party, separately licensed, public-domain, or legally excepted material remains subject to its own status and any accompanying notice. No rights in another person's private information, publicity, privacy, moral rights, patent rights, or trademark rights are granted by this file.

NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE; NO WARRANTY

Constellations & Diamonds is an experimental, document-based framework for voluntary adult inquiry. It is not clinical, medical, mental-health, legal, financial, spiritual, crisis, or other professional advice; a diagnostic or treatment instrument; a certified safety standard; or a substitute for qualified care.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the materials are provided as-is and as-available, without representations or warranties of accuracy, fitness, non-infringement, effectiveness, safety, model compliance, freedom from error, or suitability for a particular purpose. The complete disclaimer and limitation terms in the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 legal code apply. Rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.
