📝 Licensing Overview — RTT Micro Core

🔐 Core Principles#

Micro Core licensing follows four guiding principles:

1. Clarity — users should always know what they can and cannot do.
2. Integrity — the RTT substrate must remain coherent and unaltered.
3. Openness — research, teaching, and non‑commercial exploration are encouraged.
4. Stewardship — commercial or derivative use requires explicit agreement.

These principles ensure that Micro Core remains accessible while protecting the framework’s lineage.

• reference Micro Core in research
• build non‑commercial prototypes

Attribution is appreciated and helps maintain lineage.

💼 Commercial & Derivative Use#

Commercial use, integration into products, or creation of derivative frameworks requires:

• a per‑contract agreement
• explicit licensing terms
• alignment with RTT stewardship principles

This ensures that Micro Core remains coherent across implementations.

🔗 Relationship to RTT Licensing#

Micro Core inherits the broader RTT licensing model:

• RTT Core governs the full substrate
• RTT‑Inside governs implementation and integration
• Domain Packs follow per‑pack licensing

Together, these layers ensure that Micro Core remains structurally consistent, lineage‑preserving, and safely extensible across research, teaching, and commercial environments.
