This license was born from the urgent need for digital preservation in the animation and software communities, specifically to address the "End-of-Life" (EOL) crisis of proprietary formats.<br><br>1. RATIONALE<br>While established licenses like MIT or ISC are excellent for general software, they lack a specific mandate for technological migration. In the context of preserving culture trapped in closed binaries (such as legacy Flash .FLA files), we need a legal tool that conditions the right to use the work upon its transformation into functional source code. FARCL-1.0 bridges this gap by mandating that "Source Code" is the only valid distribution format, ensuring long-term interoperability.<br><br>2. COMPARISON WITH OTHER LICENSES<br>FARCL-1.0 is a hybrid evolution. It uses the permissive core of the ISC/MIT licenses but integrates the Attribution Assurance License (AAL) principles. This is vital because, in digital archeology, the Archivist/Recreator provides a significant technical contribution (the reconstruction of logic and assets) that must coexist with the Original Author's credit.<br><br>3. OSD COMPLIANCE<br>- OSD #2 (Source Code): FARCL-1.0 is "Source Code Mandatory." It prohibits proprietary binaries in the final archive, fulfilling the OSD requirement that the source code must be the preferred form for modification.<br>- OSD #7 (Not product-specific): The license has been refined as a general-purpose tool. It applies to any reconstruction of proprietary data into open code, regardless of the technology stack or specific product.<br><br>4. LEGAL SAFETY (THE DISCLAIMER)<br>To encourage community participation in high-risk preservation, we have integrated the Daniel Veillard (libxml2) disclaimer. This provides robust protection for volunteers, stating they "accept no responsibility in any conceivable manner" regarding the technical state or safety of the rescued works.<br><br>CONCLUSION<br>We believe FARCL-1.0 is essential for the future of digital archives. It transforms "closed media" into "open software," ensuring that our digital history remains human-readable, editable, and free for all.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>B4uti4GD</div></div>
