Rulings

Which tier applies?
Canopy. Trains, fine-tunes, or serves machine learning models commercially. 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. Listing the Work by name on a multi-provider platform where the customer controls its lifecycle. 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.

Cautions
What this situation gets wrong most often.
Section 8.3 forbids imposing a user ceiling, a regional exclusion, or an output-training restriction downstream where this licence imposes none. That prohibition is the point of the instrument.

Other situations for this party.
Non-normative. Where this and the licence text disagree, the licence text applies.
