1. Free personal and commercial use

The copyright owner grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free
permission to download, install, copy and use this version of Analog Forge
in binary form for personal, educational and commercial audio work, on any
number of computers you use. There is no license fee, subscription, account
requirement or activation requirement for this version.

2. Your audio remains yours

This software license imposes no restrictions, royalties or attribution
requirements on audio, music, recordings, performances or other creative
outputs processed with the software. The publisher claims no ownership of
your audio merely because you use Analog Forge. Rights in recordings,
samples and other material you supply remain subject to their own licenses
and the rights of their respective owners.

3. Free redistribution of the complete package

You may redistribute this complete, unmodified release package free of
charge, provided you retain this license, the third-party notices and all
other files in the package. You must not misrepresent its origin, remove
the publisher's notices or imply the publisher endorses your distribution.
This permission does not authorize selling the package, publishing modified
versions of the publisher's proprietary software, or licensing the publisher's
source code to others. Other uses require the owner's written permission,
except where applicable law or a third-party license grants you those rights.

4. Private source and third-party components

The publisher's source code for this version is private and is not supplied
under this binary-use license. No source-code, modification or trademark
license is granted for the publisher's proprietary work, except as expressly
stated above or required by applicable law.

Some components are covered by their own permissive licenses. Their exact
copyright and license notices are in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt and licenses/.
Those components remain governed by their respective licenses. Nothing in
this license limits rights you receive under those licenses, including any
rights to use, modify or redistribute those components separately.

5. Earlier AGPL releases

This license applies to the independent Analog Forge 0.2.0 binary release.
It does not replace, revoke or limit rights already granted under the GNU
Affero General Public License for earlier Analog Forge releases, including
the previously published 0.1.2 release. Those copies and their source code
remain subject to the licenses under which they were provided.

6. Warranty and liability

The software is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the owner makes no warranties, express or implied,
including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose
or non-infringement, and is not liable for loss or damage arising from use
of, or inability to use, the software. No promise of updates, compatibility
with every host, or support response times is made.

Nothing in this license excludes or limits liability, consumer protections
or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable
law. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to
apply to the extent permitted by law.

Third-party components

The current release uses iPlug2 and other components under their own licenses. Exact copyright and license notices accompany the package in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt and licenses/. Those licenses remain applicable to their respective components.

Earlier AGPL releases

The previously published Analog Forge 0.1.2 release and its corresponding source retain the AGPL terms under which they were supplied. The new binary-use license does not revoke or restrict those earlier rights. Read the AGPLv3 license.

Website imagery and demo music

The software license does not grant trademark rights in the NORMSONIC name or logo. The listening excerpts from Music Through Love and their included source material retain CC BY 3.0; see the complete music attribution and source links. Other third-party material retains its respective terms.

Early release limitations

Analog Forge 0.2.0 is a free early release. Windows validation includes 143 DSP comparison cases, VST3 SDK checks and pluginval at strictness 5. Version 0.2.0 has also been checked in REAPER on Windows for all six models, parameter automation, saved project state and latency-aligned bypass. Compatibility with all hosts has not been verified. The release is Windows only.

The distortion voices are analog-inspired digital models rather than exact replicas of named hardware circuits. Level Match is approximate, and Soft Ceiling is not a true-peak mastering limiter. Full warranty and liability terms are set out in the applicable software license.
