+# Hob Forge Community License — smeagle v1.0
+
+smeagle is a fine-tune of **Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B-Base** (© Alibaba, Apache-2.0). The base model remains under
+Apache-2.0 and nothing here limits your Apache-2.0 rights to it. This license governs **Hob Forge's
+fine-tuning contribution** — the smeagle weights, GGUFs, and derivatives of them.
+
+Plain-English summary (the terms below control if there's ever a conflict): **free for almost everyone,
+attribution always, and if you're a giant you have to say you use it.**
+
+## 1. Grant — free for almost everyone
+You may use, run, modify, quantize, distribute, and build on smeagle — commercially or not, at no cost —
+subject to the terms below. If you're an individual, a hobbyist, a startup, a research group, a school, or
+a small-to-mid-size company: this is yours. Run it on your laptop and ship products with it, freely.
+
+## 2. Attribution — always
+When you distribute smeagle or a derivative of it, keep a visible credit to
+**"Hob Forge — smeagle (https://huggingface.co/Hob-forge/smeagle-4b)"** in your model card, README, docs,
+or about page.
+
+## 3. The billboard clause — large-scale users must disclose
+If you are **(a)** a frontier AI lab, **or (b)** any organisation serving smeagle or a derivative of it to
+more than **10,000,000 (ten million) monthly active users**, then in ADDITION to §2 you must **prominently
+and publicly disclose** that your product uses a Hob Forge fine-tune (smeagle), somewhere your users can
+see it (e.g. product/model documentation, a model list, or an about page). If smeagle helps you serve
+millions, say so out loud. That's the price of scale.
+
+## 4. Guardrails — non-negotiable
+- **Do not** use smeagle to produce material that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers children. Absolute.
+- **Do not** strip or defeat safety alignment ("abliterate") and then redistribute it as a Hob Forge model.
+- **Do not** present smeagle's output as human-authored in a way meant to deceive or harm.
+
+## 5. No warranty
+Provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind. Hob Forge is not liable for how you use it.
+
+## 6. Base model
+Qwen3.5-4B-Base © Alibaba Cloud, licensed Apache-2.0. Its terms are preserved and unaffected by this license.
