## Grant Register
### Grant 1: Nyx Pro (`nyx-agent`)
### Grant 1: Nyctos
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Grantor | Eli Peter, sole copyright holder of Nyx as of the effective date |
| Grantee | The Nyx Pro project (`nyx-agent` daemon, web UI, and accompanying tooling). Repository: `nyx-pro` |
| Effective date | 2026-05-17 |
| Scope | All Nyx source code, documentation, fixtures, build artefacts, and binaries (the "Licensed Material") in any version released as of the effective date or thereafter, plus any future modifications the Grantor authors or accepts under the CLA |
| Permitted uses | (a) static or dynamic linking of the Licensed Material into the Nyx Pro daemon; (b) modification of the Licensed Material as required for Nyx Pro integration; (c) redistribution of the Licensed Material as part of the Nyx Pro distribution; (d) sublicensing the Licensed Material to end users of Nyx Pro solely under whatever license terms Nyx Pro itself is distributed under (currently PolyForm Small Business 1.0.0, or a separately negotiated commercial license) |
| Restrictions | (a) this grant does not modify, supersede, or revoke the public GPL-3.0-or-later release of Nyx; (b) this grant is non-transferable; only the Nyx Pro project, owned by the Grantor, may exercise it; (c) any third-party fork of Nyx Pro must obtain Nyx under the public GPL terms unless it negotiates a separate grant from the Grantor; (d) attribution of Nyx authorship must be preserved in any redistribution per the CLA's moral-rights waiver |
| Duration | Perpetual and irrevocable, subject only to the Grantee maintaining ownership-or-control by the Grantor. If the Nyx Pro project is sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred to a third party, this grant terminates and the new owner must negotiate a separate license |
| Sublicensing of the grant itself | Not permitted. The Grantee may distribute Nyx as part of Nyx Pro to end users under Nyx Pro's outward terms, but the Grantee may not grant any other project the right to use Nyx outside the public GPL terms |
| Governing law | Same as Nyx CLA |
