This License may be copied and spread by any method to increase
the availability of the License.
Modification and Use of this license is under the FCTL,
that is, allowed only by an Individual, (Defined below in Section 0),
and the name must be changed enough to differentiate it from
the FCTL, and must be under the FCTL; however, if these basic
principles of the FCTL are kept, and nothing is done to allow an
Organization to Use the Work, the name may be kept, as long as there
is a word or phrase added to the name "Chad Tier License" to differentiate
it from this license.
The term "Chad Tier License" may only be used for a work by an Individual.
I AM NOT A LAWYER, I HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR WARRANTY, NOT EVEN ANY TYPE OF IMPLIED
WARRANTY, TO DEFEND OR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL COUNSEL OR ANY TYPE OF SUPPORT TO YOU, THE
AUTHOR, SHOULD YOU USE THIS LICENSE.

Summary: The FCTL Simplified, (Note: This section is not a substitute
for the full FCTL)
The Work may be Used and Modified only by an Individual, and not an Organization
for any Goal, be it commercial or non-commercial, provided an attribution is provided
of the Author of the Work, and the New Code is provided at no cost for Use upon request by an
Individual if the Work was Modified, (Although, it is preferred if one were to provide the Code
or New Code without request).
The Author must provide the Code upon request by an Individual at no cost.
The New Work must be re-licensed under the FCTL, along with any other desired license that
does not violate the terms of the FCTL.
The only way an organization may Use or Modify the Work is contact the Author of the
Work and negotiate for a different license that allows for them to use the Work. The Author
of the Work must be attributed, any New Works must be under the FCTL, and the Code of the Work
can not be distributed to any other Organizations.

1. The Terms and Conditions of Use of the Work
-----
You must be an Individual, and not an Organization, to Use and Modify the Work.
The Work may only be Used and Modified by only an Individual. Organizations may not
Use or Modify the Work for any reason whatsoever, any attempt to do so is a
violation of the License and they may be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the
law. The only way for an Organization to Use or Modify the Work is to contact the Author
and negotiate for a different license that allows them to use the Work. The Author of the
Work must be attributed publicly and any New Works must be licensed under the FCTL. The
negotiated license must not allow for the Organization to distribute the Work or New Work
to any other Organizations.
Any New Work that is made as a result by You must be licensed under the FCTL. The
New Code must be provided at request from Individuals to Use and Modify at no cost. You
must also attribute the Author of the Work if released into the public. The Work may
be Used for any Goal, provided that it will not allow an Organization to Use or Modify it.
The Author must provide the Code of the Work at a request from Individuals, and not
an Organization, all for no cost. (It is recommended, but not required, that you
also give a brief summary of the FCTL along with the Code as to ensure maximum
certainty of the terms of use).
The Author may receive financial support or funding by an Organization, however, the
terms in the License still apply, and the Organization may not use the Work.
