Rulings
3 questions resolved against the text.
Which tier applies?
Root. Public sector at any level, national through municipal. Below $20,000,000 in trailing revenue, or within an exempt category, no Canopy royalty applies. Sections 4, 6, 8, and 10 still bind every Licensee.
Sections 1.7, 2.1, 2.2
Is anything owed?
Nothing. No fee, no report, no filing.
Sections 2.1
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.
Revenue is measured across entities under common control, per Section 1.4. A parent company above the threshold makes its subsidiary a Canopy Licensee regardless of that subsidiary's own turnover.
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.
