PlayStation UI assets — status notice
=====================================

This is NOT a licence grant. It is a disclosure, so that anyone reading this
repository's licensing metadata knows exactly what these files are.

What the files are
------------------
The images under `assets/icons/shell/` and the narrowly selected files under
`assets/big-picture/` are user-interface, audio, texture, and resource payloads
taken from the PlayStation 5 system software. They are the work of Sony
Interactive Entertainment Inc. and remain its property. Each versioned
`assets/big-picture/<version>/manifest.json` records the retained payloads or
bounded derivative groups, their source firmware path/container, hashes,
extraction form, and runtime consumers.

Why they are here
-----------------
They are included so the launcher can reproduce the controller labels, Control
Center pictograms, shell audio, and real-time background inputs that its
compatibility surfaces require.
Prosperismo is a non-commercial interoperability and research project.

No permission has been granted
------------------------------
Sony Interactive Entertainment has not licensed these files to this project and
has not authorised their redistribution. Their inclusion is a deliberate
decision by this project's maintainer, on the view that these particular
retained assets are necessary for identification, interoperability, and
behavioural compatibility rather than a substitute distribution of the system
software.

That is the maintainer's position. It is not a legal opinion, it has not been
tested, and it may not hold in your jurisdiction.

If you redistribute this repository
-----------------------------------
You are relying on your own assessment, not on any permission conveyed here.
Packagers, distributors and forks that would rather not carry third-party
assets should delete `assets/icons/shell/` and `assets/big-picture/`. Optional
shell effects then degrade or fall back; the executable itself remains usable.
