## License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order
effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better
code. Even more important, however, are the end users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end users accomplish their goals. For
example, it would be inappropriate and offensive to use Zig to implement
[dark patterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern) and it would be
shameful to utilize Zig to exploit people instead of benefit them.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software
licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk
compromising the value Zig provides to users.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a
humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end users.
