legal notice file explained
At the root of the Siyarix project, you'll see a file called NOTICE. This file serves a specific legal function required by the AGPL-3.0 license.
The NOTICE file serves several functions:
- Project Identity: States the project name and homepage.
- Copyright Notice: Identifies who legally holds the copyright.
- License Reference: Links to the AGPL-3.0 license.
- Third-Party Attributions: Gives credit to the open-source libraries we rely on.
- Disclaimer of Affiliation: Clarifies that Siyarix is independent.

NOTICE |
Project-specific legal notices required by AGPL-3.0 Section 5(a). |
Important
AGPL-3.0 Section 5(a) requires that the NOTICE file be preserved. If you fork Siyarix, please do not delete the NOTICE file!
Basic metadata, including the project name and the SPDX identifier.
The legal declaration that the copyright is held by MD MUFTHAKHERUL ISLAM MIRAZ.
A pointer to the full license text.
A table giving credit to direct runtime dependencies (like typer and httpx). Open source is built on the shoulders of giants!
Siyarix is an independent passion project. I am not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other AI provider.
Maintaining an accurate NOTICE file ensures legal compliance and gives proper respect to the developers whose libraries I use.

As you read through the documentation, you might encounter some specific terms. Here is a quick cheat sheet:
| Term | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Provider | The backend AI engine powering Siyarix (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama). |
| Tool | A traditional security executable installed on your system (e.g., nmap, nuclei). |
| Plan | A step-by-step sequence of tool commands intelligently generated by the AI. |
| Workflow | A hardcoded, predefined execution path (usually defined in YAML/JSON) that doesn't require AI generation. |
| Persona | A specialized behavioral profile given to the AI (e.g., instructing it to act specifically as a "Network Recon Specialist"). |
| Knowledge Graph | Siyarix's internal memory where it stores findings (like IP addresses, open ports) to contextually inform future steps. |
