+ # Commercial Licensing
4
+
5
+ **Entroptics Context** is distributed under the **GNU Affero General Public License v3.0**
6
+ (AGPL-3.0-only). See [LICENSE](LICENSE).
7
+
8
+ A commercial license is available for use cases that are incompatible with the AGPL, or that involve
9
+ white-label use of the ENTROPTICS brand.
10
+
11
+ ## Two tracks — when you need a commercial license
12
+
13
+ ### Track 1 — Copyleft opt-out (copyright)
14
+
15
+ The AGPL-3.0 requires that modified versions and network-accessible deployments make their complete
16
+ source code available under the same license. A commercial license removes that obligation.
17
+
18
+ **You need a commercial license if any of the following apply:**
19
+
20
+ - You modify Entroptics Context and want to keep those modifications proprietary (closed-source)
21
+ - You offer Entroptics Context as a managed or hosted service to third parties without releasing your
22
+ source code
23
+ - You embed or OEM Entroptics Context inside a product and do not wish to release that product's source
24
+ under the AGPL
25
+ - You want enterprise support, SLA, compliance, or custom deployment rights
26
+
27
+ ### Track 2 — Trademark (white-label)
28
+
29
+ The AGPL licenses copyright only — it does **not** grant rights to the "Entroptics" name, logo, or
30
+ trade dress. White-label use always requires a separate commercial trademark license, **regardless
31
+ of whether you comply with the AGPL**.
32
+
33
+ **You need a commercial trademark license if:**
34
+
35
+ - You replace Entroptics product name, logos, or visible identity with your own brand
36
+ - You ship desktop shell, browser extension, or similar companion surfaces as your branded product
37
+ - You suppress meaningful Entroptics identity while offering the product to your users
38
+
39
+ This applies even if you open-source your modifications under the AGPL. AGPL compliance covers the
40
+ code; it does not grant the right to rebrand.
41
+
42
+ ## What is free
43
+
44
+ AGPL-compliant, non-white-label use is **free for everyone** — individuals, startups, nonprofits,
45
+ educational institutions, research labs, and companies of any size. As long as you:
46
+
47
+ 1. Share your source code for modifications and network-accessible deployments under the AGPL, and
48
+ 2. Do not white-label the product (keep Entroptics identity visible or use "Powered by Entroptics")
49
+
50
+ ## What is not white-labeling
51
+
52
+ - Running Entroptics on your own domain
53
+ - Presenting the product as Entroptics or "Powered by Entroptics"
54
+ - Internal use with your own SSO, policies, or infrastructure
55
+ - Configuration, theming, or deployment customization that does not replace product identity
56
+ - Operating MCP servers, sidecars, or supporting infrastructure
57
+
58
+ If users experience the product as your branded product instead of Entroptics, treat that as
59
+ white-labeling.
60
+
61
+ ## Commercial agreement shapes
62
+
63
+ Commercial deals differ by use case:
64
+
65
+ - **Self-host** — proprietary modifications, internal enterprise deployment without AGPL source
66
+ release
67
+ - **White-label** — branding rights (trademark license) plus optional copyleft opt-out
68
+ - **OEM / embedded** — distribution rights for embedding Entroptics Context inside another product
69
+ - **Hosted service** — operating Entroptics Context as a managed service for third parties
70
+
71
+ Each shape has different rights, support, branding, and commercial terms.
72
+
73
+ ## Typical pricing structures
74
+
75
+ - Seat-based pricing
76
+ - Deployment-based pricing
77
+ - Usage-based pricing
78
+ - Hybrid pricing
79
+
80
+ ## What this does not reach
81
+
82
+ The Apache-2.0 parts of the platform — Mantle, Crystal, Prism, the deploy gates — are already free
83
+ for commercial use and need no agreement.
