# tldw_server Licensing

Copyright (c) 2026 Robert Benjamin Jake Musser.

This repository is a multi-license work. This file is the authoritative scope
map. Exact license texts are under `LICENSES/`. A more specific third-party or
nested notice controls the material it identifies.

Required Notice: Copyright (c) 2026 Robert Benjamin Jake Musser.

## Protected Frontend Material

Repository-authored code, tests, build definitions, and original assets under
these paths are licensed under the PolyForm Perimeter License 1.0.1:

- `admin-ui/**`
- `apps/tldw-frontend/**`
- `apps/extension/**`
- `apps/packages/ui/**`

For a tagged protected frontend release, a completed release-specific PolyForm
Countdown License Grant under `LICENSES/releases/` additionally makes
AGPL-3.0-only available from the date and time stated in that grant. An
uncompleted Countdown template is not a license grant. PolyForm Perimeter does
not terminate when an AGPL option starts.

## Server and Unlisted Repository Material

`tldw_Server_API/**` and all other unlisted repository-authored code, tests,
scripts, and documentation are licensed GPL-3.0-only.

## Public API Contract

The canonical OpenAPI document generated at `/openapi.json`, and any complete
versioned snapshots expressly identified as such, are licensed Apache-2.0.
This does not license the server implementation under Apache-2.0.

## Documentation Inside Protected Paths

Markdown documentation remains GPL-3.0-only unless a more specific notice
expressly classifies it as protected release material.

## Third-Party Material

Third-party, copied, generated, and vendored material retains its upstream
terms. See `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt` and nested license files. No upstream work
is relicensed merely because it appears under a protected path or in an
artifact.

## Prior Public Versions

Licenses already granted for previously public versions remain available and
are not revoked or narrowed by this prospective scope change. See
`LICENSES/history/pre-source-available.json`.

## Trademarks

No trademark rights are granted. Software-license permission does not grant a
right to use tldw names, logos, icons, domains, signing identities, or store
identities as branding.
