Rulings

3 questions resolved against the text.

clear

Which tier applies?

Canopy. Large organisation with procurement, legal review, and an SBOM process. Section 5.2 reporting applies; the Section 5.1 royalty attaches when the Licensee makes Production Use and only to attributable revenue.

Sections 1.8, 3.1, 5.1

clear

Is anything owed?

A quarterly Canopy Report. Section 5.1 imposes a royalty only when the Canopy Licensee makes Production Use.

Sections 5.1, 5.2

conditional

Can this be combined with copyleft?

Not with GPL or AGPL for a combined derivative work. Those licences forbid additional restrictions, and the royalty, Compute clause, and competing-offering restriction are additional restrictions. There is no automatic conversion that makes this disappear for current releases.

Sections 5.1, 6.1, 7.1

Cautions

What this situation gets wrong most often.

  • Attribution lives in the package manifest under ORA 8.1, not only in documentation, because an agent package is installed by a machine that never reads a directory listing.
