Master-Console's Open-Source Definitive License is for a whole purpose of
open-source projects
out there. Master-Console Inc.(https://master-console-inc.tk) is the owner
of this license and founded this license as other licenses out there like
Apache License or GPL were not actually compatible for security reasons the
project was working on, therefore we casted a custom license which would
not only help ourselves but the millions of open-source projects out there
but it can't be done without proper approval and verification, then only it
can seem for the license to help and people using it would think so. This
license was created with similarity to some popular licenses and with
essential security features which those licenses lacked like prevention of
transcripted use. Transcripted use means which reveals the source publicly
but does not let users access actual content, download and verify the
integrity of the project, thus harming the open-source terms. An example
could be this: https://www.androwish.org/index.html/tree?ci=tip which does
let access to view but does not let access to part of the original source
in it and forcibly acts to download all the source. It has many other
features too, but plenty much writing here would take your time. However,
its all listed in the license.
THE LICENSE IS ATTACHED WITH THIS MAIL AS A PLAIN TEXT FILE, PLEASE READ
AND VERIFY ALL OF ITS SOURCE. PLEASE REPLY BACK FOR APPROVAL OR REJECTION
AND STATE WHERE IT WENT WRONG. THIS LICENSE MAY COME UNDER THE PROLIFERATION
CATEGORY OF A GENERAL-PURPOSE OPEN-SOURCE LICENSE LIKE MOSTLY USED LICENSES
BUT HOWEVER FOCUSES MORE TO BEING SECURE, OPEN-SOURCE AND FREE FOR ALL.

-Task done in accordance with the product must be licensed under the same license. This can apply to any part of the product,
even native code, that is compiled code. This does not apply to other products not licensed under this license which means this product
should always be licensed under this license but the ones who are using in their code may or may not license their products under this license.
-Source distributed or redistributed must be Open-Source and should be Free for all. This only applies to the product licensed under this license
and not any others.
-A copy of this license must be held in every copy of the product.
-All other mediums the product is distributed with can be either open-source or closed-source but the product must be open-source, that is,
other products have their own Creator, Owners and they decide whether to keep their code open-source but when a product which is licensed
under this license is used, only the used part or the product should be open-source. Thus the other part is the decision of the one who holds
all copyright owns on their product and can either disclose or undisclose it.
-Changes done to the source code must be stated.

original compiled product. The User can make it a commercial product but with complaince with the product, its Owner and the license.

Owner or Trusted Authoritative and if found, they can ask the distributor/distributors to revert the code to being helpful rather
than being with malicious or unstable version of the source. If still the distributor does not comply, the Creator,
Owner or Trusted Authoritative can report and takedown that source. This is only an optional feature of this license
and it is the Creator, Owner or Trusted Authoritative's choice to apply Revertive Distribution act. This act is granted
only 3 times since abuse of the license can also take place or if there was a potential exploitation code
which is still used and ignored by the owner, thus this is limited to 3. This Permission is granted if the source
is used privately.
-Transcripted Use: This is not permitted except for the Creator, Owner. Transcripted site can be a site to view code publicly but not to be
