sublicense or distribute Brainhat for commercial purposes is void, and
will automatically terminate your rights under this License. No other
versions are covered by this license.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed

to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing
or modifying Brainhat or works based on it.
Each time you redistribute Brainhat (or any work based on it), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
to copy, distribute or modify Brainhat subject to these terms and
