## 1. Branding and Attribution Protection

**1.1.**  
The names **“Upload Assistant”**, **“Audionut”**, and any confusingly similar

  or other automated output branding generated by the Software, **except to remove such identifiers entirely**;  
- **Any license headers or attribution notices in source files must be preserved**.


**1.3.**
Derivative works **may not** introduce new identifiers, branding, promotional
markings, or tool-generated labels or HTTP/S links that imply the derivative is:
- an **upload tool**,  
- a replacement or continuation of **Upload Assistant**,  
- or any other tool intended to performing the same function or role,  
by **reusing or adapting the original branding mechanisms, output structures,
or auto-generated identifiers** provided by the Software.

**1.4.**
The Software and derivative works **must not** misrepresent authorship,
affiliation, origin, identity, project lineage, or repository linkage.

**3.3.**  
Any use of the key outside the official project is strictly prohibited and
