-## Premium tools
+## Licence — no paywall
 
-These tools need a licence key:
-
-* `article`
-* `browse_categories`
-* `category_members`
-
-The tool bodies run on our gateway, not inside this package, so the key is what buys access. Buy one at https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_mrO7rS5LZxpqM7oAFFEA10i9121J240U40IIj4JRZO4 and set it in your MCP client config:
-
-```json
-"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "polar_..." }
-```
-
-The gateway checks the key against Polar and gives every key 1,000 free premium
-calls a month before per-call billing starts. Every other tool on this server
-stays free.
-<!-- /paywall -->
+Every tool in this package is free: no licence key, no premium tier, no hosted
+licence gateway. The paywall machinery this repo once carried (per-tool licence
+checks and paid hosted endpoints) was removed repo-wide on 2026-10-17. Nothing
+that this package installs or calls asks you to pay.
