| # Licensing and distribution scope |
|
|
| The owner selected these terms on 2026-09-24. This local preparation is ready |
| for owner-controlled source distribution: |
|
|
| | Material | Terms | |
| |---|---| |
| | Vons-owned source, tests, configurations and software documentation | [Vons Community and Commercial License 1.0](../LICENSE) | |
| | Paper, Tech Report and their original research figures | [CC BY 4.0](publications/LICENSE.md) | |
| | Third-party libraries, upstream encoders/tokenizers and datasets | Their original terms; no relicense | |
| | INLEVEL9 logo and other marks | No general trademark license or endorsement | |
| | Model weights, restricted data and private evidence | Excluded from this source release | |
|
|
| The free software grant covers qualifying noncommercial personal, educational, |
| nonprofit research and public-benefit use. Enterprise use, including internal |
| evaluation, and other commercial use require a separate written agreement. |
| Paid consulting, client work, SaaS/API hosting and embedding in a commercial |
| product fall in that category. Contact [oswarld@inlevel9.com](mailto:oswarld@inlevel9.com) |
| for the scope and commercial terms; no price or automatic trial is specified. |
|
|
| This is **source-available software**, not OSI-approved open source. The article |
| license is deliberately separate: CC BY 4.0 permits commercial article reuse |
| with its attribution conditions, without granting commercial software rights. |
| Affiliation is attribution and does not establish institutional endorsement. |
|
|
| ## Transition and distribution |
|
|
| Earlier local Python metadata declared Apache-2.0. This source release |
| uses `LicenseRef-Vons-Community-Commercial-1.0` and includes its exact text. |
| Frozen research snapshots retain their historical metadata and measurements. |
| This change makes no claim that rights previously granted under Apache-2.0 can |
| be withdrawn. Existing third-party licenses and notices remain effective. |
|
|
| The root license contains the custom terms for this source distribution. |
| A separate written agreement is required for enterprise or commercial software |
| use; publishing the source does not execute a customer contract. The source |
| list and hashes identify the reviewed files, and do not establish rights over |
| an unreviewed third-party asset. No manuscript or model weights accompany this |
| source release. |
|
|
| Commercial contracts, pricing, support and optional conformance services are |
| separate from this free community grant. No certification claim is made. |
