What this license covers

The MIT License applies to the Shards cryptographic core — the open-source library that performs the Shamir Secret Sharing split and reconstruction. This is the code published in our public GitHub repository.

The license does not cover the Shards brand name, logo, website design, kit designs, written documentation outside the repository, or the broader Shards product. Those remain the property of Mindcraft Inc. and are not open source.

The reason for this split is straightforward: the cryptography should be auditable and replaceable, so you never depend on us. The business around it is ours to build.
