# Enterprise Edition License (PolyForm Noncommercial)

**Status**: Active as of v0.9.0 (2026-04-25). See MIK-3035, MIK-3036.

This file describes the license terms that apply to designated **Enterprise Edition (EE)** files within the `nab` repository. The Path C dual-license refactor landed in v0.9.0.

## Required Notice

Distributions, modified versions, forks, and derivative works that include Enterprise Edition components must preserve the following attribution (see `NOTICE`):

> Required Notice: Includes nab Enterprise Edition components by Mikko Parkkola, https://github.com/MikkoParkkola/nab. Commercial use requires a separate license.

## Scope

Files marked with the SPDX header

```rust
// SPDX-License-Identifier: PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0
```

are licensed under the **PolyForm Noncommercial** license (version 1.0.0). All other files remain under the existing MIT License (see `LICENSE`).

## Enterprise Edition coverage (planned, per ADR-001 / MIK-3036)

### EE-designated paths (active):

- `src/auth/` — 1Password, WebAuthn, cookie injection (premium authenticated reach)
- `src/fingerprint/` — fingerprint spoofing (anti-bot, WAF evasion)
- `src/waf/` — WAF evasion patterns
- `src/site/` — per-site provider integrations (proprietary domain knowledge)
- `src/security/` — Secure Ingestion guard (machine-targeted directive detection + sanitisation, provenance reporting). Shipped in v0.10.0. Detects AI-addressed HTML comments, machine-only `data-*` attribute payloads, machine-class elements, `display:none` text, and `aria-hidden="true"` text. See `examples/scan_html.rs`.

## Commercial licensing

For commercial use of EE-designated files, companies can buy a standard commercial-use license through GitHub Sponsors:

- EUR 500/month per named project.
- Covers one company or organization using `nab` Enterprise Edition code while sponsorship remains active.
- Covers routine internal business use, private forks, wrappers, private integrations, and shared internal services for that organization.
- Requires the sponsoring company to identify the licensed project, such as `nab`, in the sponsor note or by email.
- Does not include support, SLA, custom development, indemnity, trademark rights, sublicensing, resale, or the right to offer `nab` as a hosted or managed service to third parties unless separately agreed in writing.

The standard license is not a blanket license for all Mikko Parkkola projects. Custom terms are available for multi-project, portfolio-wide, external-facing, resale, managed-service, high-scale, support, SLA, indemnity, or procurement-specific needs.

Annual invoicing, procurement terms, custom terms, or resale rights can be agreed by email: mikko.parkkola@iki.fi

## Existing MIT-licensed releases

Versions of `nab` released **before** v0.9 are entirely MIT-licensed and remain so forever. The PolyForm Noncommercial license applies only to v0.9+ EE-designated files.
