Copyright © 2026 Nathan Meirion Roberts (ABN 78 595 577 915), trading as Hidra. All rights reserved.

Hidra™ and the three-tin-cans logo are trade marks of Nathan Meirion Roberts.

Hidra is proprietary software. It is licensed, not sold.

You may use it only under the terms of the End User Licence Agreement in EULA.md. Installing or running it means accepting that agreement.

No right is granted to copy, modify, translate, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lend, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble this software, or to create derivative works from it, except where this licence says so, where the EULA says so, or where a law that cannot be contracted out of gives you that right regardless — in Australia, section 47D of the Copyright Act 1968 permits decompilation for interoperability, and nothing here purports to take that away.

Components from other people

Hidra links 697 third-party crates, distributed under their own terms. Those terms govern those components and are not affected by this licence. Every one of them is listed, with its licence, in THIRD-PARTY.md, generated from the dependency graph by tools/notices.py.

Seven are MPL-2.0, which is file-level copyleft: it reaches the files it is in and no others, and those files are used unmodified. Two offer a choice that includes a GPL or LGPL option; in both the permissive alternative is the one taken. Nothing Hidra depends on requires Hidra itself to be open source.

The name

“Hidra” and the Hidra mark are the licensor’s. This licence grants no right to use either, other than to say truthfully what software you are running.
