+# Loom Engine - Commercial License Terms (Outline)
+
+This document is a starting point for negotiation, not a binding offer.
+Final terms are agreed in writing between Misha Mitiev (Licensor) and
+the commercial licensee.
+
+## When a commercial license is required
+
+When your gross revenue from any product, game, or service that
+incorporates the Loom Engine exceeds **USD $1,000,000 in any consecutive
+12-month period**, you must obtain a commercial license to continue
+using the engine in production.
+
+Below this threshold, the [Business Source License 1.1](./LICENSE)
+applies and no commercial license is required.
+
+## Standard terms
+
+- **Royalty**: 5% of gross revenue above the $1,000,000 threshold per
+  license-year, paid quarterly.
+- **Reporting**: Quarterly revenue statement, audit-on-request clause
+  (audits limited to once per year, 30-day notice).
+- **Sub-licensing**: Not permitted without separate written agreement.
+- **Patent grant**: Limited grant covering normal engine use; does not
+  extend to derivative engines or competing engine products. See
+  PRIOR-ART.md for the patent-strategy scope.
+- **Term**: Annual, auto-renewing on the anniversary of the agreement.
+- **Termination**: 90 days notice either side. Royalty obligations
+  survive termination for revenue earned during the licensed period.
+- **Jurisdiction**: To be agreed; default Thailand or licensee's home
+  jurisdiction with mutual consent.
+
+## Negotiable alternatives
+
+The Licensor is open to non-standard arrangements, including:
+
+- **Lump-sum buyout**: One-time payment in lieu of royalties, scoped to
+  a specific product or product line. Pricing varies by project size +
+  expected revenue.
+- **Equity-for-license**: Early-stage studios may exchange equity for a
+  perpetual royalty-free license. Typical range 0.5%-2% equity for a
+  full commercial grant.
+- **Reduced royalty rate**: For OSS projects, cooperatively-owned
+  studios, or non-profit ventures, royalty may be reduced or waived.
+- **Distribution-based fees**: For middleware, SDKs, or engine-derived
+  toolchains, per-distribution fees may replace revenue royalties.
+
+## Pre-publish window (0.10.0 grandfathering)
+
+If your project pinned to `@sadhaka/loom-engine@0.10.0` (the only
+release published under MIT) before 2026-05-08, you may continue using
+that version under MIT terms indefinitely. No commercial license is
+required for that specific version.
+
+Upgrading to 0.11.0 or later requires accepting BUSL-1.1 terms and, if
+above the revenue threshold, a commercial license.
+
+## Contact
+
+Email: `licensor@theworldtable.ai`
+
+Please include in your inquiry:
+- Company name and primary use case
+- Estimated annual revenue from the product/service using the engine
+- Distribution model (B2C, B2B, internal, etc.)
+- Preferred negotiation framing (royalty / lump-sum / equity / other)
+
+Response time: typically within 5 business days.
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+These outline terms do not constitute a binding offer or contract. A
+commercial license is only effective when both parties have signed a
+written agreement that supersedes this outline.
