You ship. Grug guard.
This how Grug guard.
// The deal between you and Grug. Pay Grug, Grug crush bug. Don't pay, Grug stop crushing. Don't sue Grug, Grug not lawyer. Don't make Grug do crime, Grug walk away with club.
The deal.
You install Grug on your repo. Grug read your PR. Grug crush bug. Grug block evil CVE. Grug post Check Run.
You pay Grug little money each month. Grug keep guarding. Easy.
Who can summon Grug.
You must be old enough to sign cave contract. Eighteen sun-cycle in most lands. Your organization must allow Grug to enter. If you not own the repo, ask the chief first.
How much Grug cost.
Nothing. Grug free. Grug not want your shiny rock. No moon-payment, no card, no bone owed.
Grug open source. You want run Grug in own cave on own fire? Take him. Grug not hold grudge.
What you not do.
You not use Grug to make malware. You not use Grug to attack other tribe. You not scrape Grug API to feed cousin LLM. You not pretend you are Grug. You not let other tribe use your Grug account.
If you do bad thing, Grug walk away. Account closed. Grug also tell GitHub.
Grug not perfect.
Grug try hard. But Grug is caveman. Sometimes bug slip past Grug. Sometimes Grug yell "block" when no need block. You still own your code. You still ship the bug if you ship the bug. Grug is helper, not god.
Your code is your code.
Grug never claim your code. Your repo, your IP, your problem if it crash. Grug just look and yell. Grug not steal. Grug not train cousin LLM on private code. Grug pinky promise (see Privacy).
If Grug change deal.
Grug shout from cave at least thirty sun before change. If you not like new deal, you walk away. No hard feeling. You take your data with you.
If fight.
If you and Grug fight, both go to cave-court in New York. English language. No class action. Try email first: grug@grug.lol. Most fight end with apology and coffee.
Or just be Grug.
Don't like this deal? Run Grug yourself. AGPL-3.0. Source in cave. Your rules apply, not Grug rules. Only restriction: if you change Grug and let others use, you share back. Fair trade.
