Rulings
4 questions resolved against the text.
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
Is anything owed?
0.5% of revenue attributable to products or services that depend on the Work, capped at $250,000 per year, plus a quarterly Canopy Report.
Sections 5.1, 5.2
Does this count as Production Use?
Yes. Commercializing a port whose value still derives substantially from the Work. Section 1.9 covers internal operation at operating scope and systems made available externally to customers or the public. Development, testing, evaluation, research, and personal non-revenue use remain outside it.
Sections 1.9
Is this a Competing Offering?
Yes if the value derives entirely or substantially from the Work itself. Section 4 applies to every Licensee, including Root. A larger independent product remains allowed, but selling, porting, repackaging, hosting, or redistributing the Work as the product requires a separate written agreement.
