  Commercial terms for Schema.org. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that
  invented a "Free" tier with a 1,000-requests-per-month quota. Schema.org sells nothing and
  meters nothing. It is a community project whose entire output — the vocabulary, the
  release files, the documentation site — is published free under an open licence, with no
  accounts, no keys, no tiers and no paid plans of any kind. The correct record is a zero.

    Sponsors have committed to making any Essential Claims available under W3C
    royalty-free licensing requirements, as if the schemas were W3C Recommendations.
  warranty: >-
    The website and schema materials are provided "AS IS" with no warranties.
funding_model: >-
  Sponsored community project. Founded in 2011 by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex; run
  with a steering committee and a W3C community group. Infrastructure (schema.org and
  validator.schema.org) is contributed by Google. There is no revenue relationship with
  consumers of the vocabulary.
note: >-
  plan_count: 0 here means "checked, the provider genuinely publishes no plans" — not
  "not checked". No pricing page exists on schema.org; the terms page is the closest thing
  to a commercial document and it grants free use under CC BY-SA 3.0.
