# 1. Purpose

This license governs the HCAM™ Atomic Knowledge Unit (HCAM-AKU™) Knowledge Graph repository as a whole.

The repository exists primarily as:

- Knowledge Graph Research Infrastructure
- AI Retrieval Architecture Demonstration
- Knowledge Modeling Environment
- Corpus Development Framework
- Methodology Reference Repository
- Educational and Research Resource

This repository contains multiple domains, methodologies, corpora, ontologies, examples, and supporting assets.

---

# 2. Scope

This license applies only to repository-level assets including:

- repository structure
- framework documentation
- methodology documents
- ontology specifications
- governance documents
- examples
- diagrams
- architectural descriptions
- framework definitions

This license does **not** replace, override, or invalidate any license contained inside individual corpus folders.

---

# 3. Corpus License Precedence Rule

Where an individual corpus contains its own `LICENSE.md` file, that corpus-specific license takes precedence for that corpus.

Examples:

```text
/hcam-skg/hanuman-chalisa/LICENSE.md

/bfsi/mutual-funds/LICENSE.md

/ai-literacy/promptops/LICENSE.md
```

Repository-level permissions should not be interpreted as extending corpus-level permissions.

Corpus-level restrictions remain fully applicable.

# 7. Research Position

This repository is a public research and evaluation environment.

The repository should not be interpreted as the complete commercial HCAM™ platform.

Public assets primarily exist for:

- evaluation
- experimentation
- benchmarking
- research
- education
- community feedback

---

# 8. Repository Maturity Levels

HCAM-AKU™ assets may exist at multiple maturity levels.

## Level 1

- Foundation dictionaries
- Baseline concept assets
- Educational reference datasets
- Public evaluation assets

## Level 5

- Proof-of-concept corpus implementations
- Architecture demonstrations
- Knowledge graph evaluation environments
- Experimental retrieval systems

## Level 10

- Production-grade deployments
- Enterprise knowledge systems
- Institutional learning platforms
- Commercial corpus implementations
- Governed deployment environments

This repository may contain Level 1 and Level 5 assets.

Level 10 deployments may exist separately under commercial arrangements.
