Rulings
3 questions resolved against the text.
Which tier applies?
Root. Educational institution, teaching or research use. 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
What goes in the SBOM?
Use the SPDX-valid LicenseRef form, the version, the canonical URL, and the attribution records Section 8.1 requires. Until a listed SPDX identifier is issued, do not use an unqualified ORL short form as though it were already on the SPDX License List.
Sections 8.1, 16.1
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.
