This is a translation for convenience. If it differs from the Chinese version, the Chinese version governs.

still.fail's code is open source under the MIT License: you may use, modify and redistribute it, and run it yourself. The MIT License covers copyright in the code only; it does not grant any right to the names and marks below. This policy says how they may be used.

1. Our marks

• Names: “still.fail”, “youdid.wtf”, and confusingly similar forms;
• Logos: still.fail's symbol, wordmark, lockup, app icons and mascot (in the repository, the mark*, wordmark*, lockup*, favicon*, icon*, apple-touch-icon* and buddy/ files under web/public/, and the matching icons in each platform's app);
• Domains: still.fail, youdid.wtf and their subdomains.

These marks are held and used by the operator of still.fail, an individual developer (“we”).

2. What you may do without asking

• Refer to still.fail truthfully, e.g. “works with still.fail”, “based on still.fail”, “a plugin for still.fail”;
• Use the names, logos and product screenshots in articles, tutorials, reviews, talks and videos about still.fail;
• Pass on or mirror our official, unmodified release packages, with their names and icons intact.

3. What needs our written permission

• Naming or promoting your own hosted service, fork or derivative product with the still.fail name or logos;
• Suggesting in any way that your product or service is official, or endorsed, sponsored or partnered by us;
• Registering or using domains, app names, account names, company names or trademarks containing still.fail, youdid.wtf or something similar;
• Altering our logos, or combining them with your own.

4. Running your own deployment or publishing a fork

You're welcome to. Before offering it to others or publishing packages:

• Pick a name that won't be confused with still.fail and replace the logo and icon files listed above;
• Change the default addresses in the code that point at app.still.fail and still.fail to your own;
• You may say “based on still.fail (MIT License)”, and keep the copyright and license notices in LICENSE and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

A deployment used only by you or your own team, not offered to others, doesn't need renaming.

5. Other companies' marks

The names and logos of AI models and runtimes shown in the product (such as Claude and Codex) belong to their owners. We use them only to identify those services; this does not mean their owners endorse or sponsor still.fail. Sources and licenses are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

6. Contact

To ask for permission, report misuse, or check whether a use is fine, email hi@still.fail.
