Quran-Lab No-Profit License
Version 1.2 (NPL-1.2)

This work, including its source code, specification documents, data
artifacts, token lexicon, generated labels, model weights, and any file
distributed alongside it (the "Work"), is made available under the following
terms. By downloading, using, running, copying, or adapting the Work, you agree
to these terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Work.

Changes from Version 1.1: the condition is now stated as attaching to the Work
itself rather than to the user or their organisation. Charging for the Work, for
access to it, or for any feature it powers remains prohibited. Earning a living
by your own labour alongside the Work is not restricted, and was never intended
to be. Section 13 states plainly that this License is not a ruling on anyone's
livelihood. Version 1.1 removed the attribution requirement; that remains so.

1. DEFINITIONS

"You" means the individual or entity exercising rights under this License.

"Derivative" means any work based on the Work, including any
modification, fork, port, translation, format conversion, or re-export,
any dataset, lexicon, label set, or artifact produced from the Work,
any machine-learning model trained, fine-tuned, aligned, or evaluated
using the Work or its outputs, and any model, file, or artifact
produced from the Work or from another Derivative.

"Charge" means requiring or accepting payment of any kind for the Work, for
access to the Work, or for any feature, capability, or output that the Work
provides. This includes sale, licensing for a fee, rental, a paid product or
feature, a paid subscription, a paywall, a trial that later requires payment,
and advertising revenue earned on a feature the Work powers.

"Hosted Service" means making the Work or a Derivative available to other
people over a network, for example through an API, a web application, or an
inference endpoint.

"Local Use" means running the Work or a Derivative on your own device or
infrastructure, for yourself or for those you teach or serve directly,
without making it available to other people over a network.

"Cost Recovery" means charging the users of a Hosted Service no more than
the actual, documented, strictly necessary direct costs of operating that
service for those users, such as compute, storage, and bandwidth. Cost
Recovery does not include any margin, markup, profit, salaries beyond
direct operation, or overhead unrelated to running the service.

2. GRANT

Subject to the conditions below, You are granted a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, run, copy, and create
Derivatives of the Work.

3. THE WORK IS NOT FOR SALE

You may not Charge for the Work or for any Derivative. It may not be sold,
licensed for a fee, rented, or supplied for payment, and neither the Work nor
any feature it powers may be placed behind a payment, a subscription, a
paywall, or advertising.

This condition attaches to the Work, not to You. Your own labour remains your
own. A teacher may charge for teaching, a developer may draw a salary, and an
organisation may earn from products, services and activities that do not
include the Work or any feature it powers. What may never be charged for is
the Work itself, access to it, or a feature that depends on it.

4. LOCAL USE

Local Use is always permitted and is never a Charge. Running the Work on your
own device, for yourself or for your own students, is not selling it, and
nothing in this License restricts payment You receive for your own teaching,
services, or labour, so long as the Work itself is not what is being sold and
no one is charged for access to it or to a feature it powers.

5. HOSTED SERVICE: COST RECOVERY ONLY

You may operate the Work or a Derivative as a Hosted Service free of charge,
or on a Cost Recovery basis. You may recover from users no more than Cost
Recovery as defined above, and never any amount beyond it. On reasonable
request, You must be able to demonstrate that the amounts charged do not
exceed Cost Recovery.

Cost Recovery covers the cost of running the Work for a user. It does not
cover development time, effort, expertise, support, or a service fee, and no
user may be denied the Work for declining to pay.

6. NO ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED

No credit, acknowledgement, or attribution to the author is required, in any
form, anywhere. You must retain this License file when you distribute the
Work or a Derivative (see Section 7), but you owe the author no mention.

7. SHARE-ALIKE

You must distribute and make available every Derivative under this same
License, either Version 1.2 or any later version published by Quran-Lab, with
no additional or different terms. You may not sublicense the Work or a
Derivative under any other license, and You may not relicense a Derivative to
remove or weaken these terms.

8. UPSTREAM COMPONENTS

Where this Work builds on upstream components released under other terms,
those components retain their own terms for their original portions, and
this License governs the Work as distributed in this repository. Nothing
here purports to revoke any rights granted by an upstream license for the
original upstream material. Any upstream components are identified in the
repository README.

9. NO COMMERCIAL LICENSE

There is no license to Charge for this Work, and none will be granted. The
right to sell the Work, to place it or a feature it powers behind a payment,
or to charge for access to it, is not available for a fee, a revenue share, a
one-time payment, or any other arrangement.

10. TERMINATION

Any use that breaches these terms immediately and automatically ends the
rights granted to You under this License.

11. NO WARRANTY

The Work is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or
implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. In no event shall
the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages, or other
liability arising from or in connection with the Work or its use.

12. NOT LEGAL ADVICE

This License text sets out the author's terms of use for the Work. It is
not, and does not constitute, legal advice.

13. NOT A RULING ON ANYONE'S LIVELIHOOD

This License states the conditions on which this Work is given. It is not a
ruling on anyone's livelihood, and nothing in it says that taking a wage for
teaching the Quran, or for any other lawful work, is impermissible.

---

This work is shared freely for the sake of Allah, so that it reaches as many
people as possible and so that whoever builds on it does so as sadaqah.

Access terms

You accept these terms together with the licence. Point 4 covers the service emails that are part of using Quran Lab; product news is separate and only if you ask for it. Download as text

Quran Lab access terms
Version 1, 9 November 2026

These terms apply to everyone who uses Quran Lab's models, SDK and developer portal (portal.quranlab.ai). You accept them together with the Quran-Lab No-Profit License 1.2 (NPL-1.2), whose full text is at https://portal.quranlab.ai/licences/NPL-1.2.txt, before you get keys and use the SDK.

By accepting, you agree:

1. never to charge for the model, for access to it, or for any feature it powers, as the licence defines it; what you earn from your own teaching, services or labour is your own;

2. not to present its output as an authoritative religious ruling on anyone's recitation;

3. to state clearly, in any application built on it, that automatic tajweed feedback can be wrong and does not replace a qualified teacher;

4. that Quran Lab sends you service emails about your account and your apps. They are part of using Quran Lab and need no separate consent: decisions on your access request; security notices, such as a key that was revoked or suspected abuse; changes to the licence or to these terms; model releases, deprecations and breaking SDK changes that affect your apps; and decisions on raw-weights requests. They go to the email address of your account: the one Hugging Face gives us at sign-in, or a contact address you verified on your Profile. For an organisation, they go to its owners and admins. They stop when your account is closed.

Product news (newsletters, launches and events) is separate. You get it only if you tick the box for it, and you can stop it at any time on your Profile or with one click from any news email.
