Rulings
3 questions resolved against the text.
Which tier applies?
Canopy. Past the threshold on trailing revenue, now a Canopy Licensee. 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?
A quarterly Canopy Report. Section 5.1 imposes a royalty only when the Canopy Licensee makes Production Use.
Sections 5.1, 5.2
May you say what you built on?
Yes, irrevocably, provided you are current on Section 5. Section 11.2 guarantees nominative fair use, and that right cannot be revoked, fee-gated, or used as leverage against a paying licensee.
Sections 11.1, 11.2, 8.1
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.
