(Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho's Proprietary License

A published proprietary license targeting commerical and sole proprietor for (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho product licensing purposes. This license was adopted from the Open Source Initiative's Apache 2.0 License and Creative Common Licenses as its baseline and applied the following changes:

  1. Changed Software to Product so that the license can be expanded to non-software product licensing usage (e.g. graphics, video, manufacturing design, audio, etc) without needing to spin multiple outbound licenses; AND
  2. Added license assignment, ratification, and tenure section to specify when and how is the license applied; AND
  3. Added version controlled clauses for which version shall be in effect by default; AND
  4. Replaced all open-source and sharing clauses with lockdown clauses to seal the proprietary exclusivity and uses overriding terms and conditions via license grant issuance; AND
  5. Framework all available rights based on Creative Common definitions for communications inter-compatibility purposes; AND
  6. Added sensitive data coverage; AND
  7. Added license grant sales and purchase coverage; AND
  8. Added artifical intelligence training dataset usage clauses; AND
  9. Added trademark usage coverage; AND
  10. Added force manjure limitation of liability; AND
  11. Added Sensitive Data limitation of liability; AND
  12. Added global vendors (e.g. datacenter) Sensitive Data limitation of liability; AND
  13. Added judiciary minimal damage values limitation of liability; AND
  14. Added geographical indicator coverage; AND
  15. Added protected geographical indicator coverage; AND
  16. Added protected designation indicator coverage; AND
  17. Added industrial design use coverage; AND
  18. Added integrated circuit layout design use coverage; AND
