A published general public friendly open-source license
**with strong copyleft effect** originally for
"(Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho" (https://github.com/ChewKeanHo) but is now open to
all product licensing purposes. This license was referenced from
"FSF's GPLv2 License" (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt)
and "FSF's GPLv3 License" (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt) but was
adopted and re-written from the "Open Source Initiative's Apache 2.0 License"
(https://opensource.org/license/apache-2-0) and "Creative Common Licenses"
(https://creativecommons.org/) as its baseline and applied the following
changes:

non-software product licensing usage (e.g. graphics, video, manufacturing
design, audio, etc) without needing to spin multiple outbound
licenses; AND

and how is the license applied; AND
(3) Added version controlled clauses for which version shall be in effect by
default; AND

clauses where the prohibition itself is perceived as an restrictive right
to use and there are valid use cases such as secure initialization/booting
using cryptographic digital signature verification; AND
(5) Explictly stated that the license overrules any patent, trade secret, or
any secrecy's terms and conditions if they are contributed into the
Product which nullify their exclusivities. The Contributor that does this
knowingly or unknowingly shall bear full responsibility including legal
actions from the owning stakeholders; AND
(6) Expanded grant clauses into Creative Commons' rights categories; AND
(7) Added artifical intelligence training dataset clauses; AND
(8) Added Sensitive Data warranty and liability coverage; AND
(9) Added global vendors (e.g. datacenter) Sensitive Data limitation of
liability; AND
(10) Added force manjure limitation of liability; AND
(11) Added global vendors (e.g. datacenter) Sensitive Data limitation of
liability; AND
(12) Added judiciary minimal damage values limitation of liability; AND
(13) Added geographical indicator coverage; AND
(14) Added protected geographical indicator coverage; AND
(15) Added protected designation indicator coverage; AND
(16) Added industrial design use coverage; AND
(17) Added integrated circuit layout design use coverage; AND
(18) Added trade secret use coverage.
**WARNING: When in doubts OR without absolute certainty, stay clear of this
license.**
