Licensing

PCC-COS technologies, protocols, architectures, pods and derived implementations may be licensed. Licensing is a considered conversation, handled through a separate, high-scrutiny process — not a self-service transaction. This page sets expectations; pricing and terms are established privately.

What may be licensed

  • PCC-COS technologies and enabling organs (for example the communication fabric, capability and evidence structures, reasoning and integration components).
  • Deployment patterns and pod configurations.
  • Reference implementations for defined fields of use.

How licensing is shaped

Consistent with our stewardship charter, licences are shaped by combinations of:

  • field of use, purpose and territory;
  • customer class and duration;
  • milestones, minimum commitments and commercialisation obligations;
  • reversion conditions.

Well-funded commercial organisations normally pay full and proportionate market value. Humanitarian, charitable and community-benefit deployments may be free or strongly concessional. Research and educational licences may be affordable and bounded while preserving attribution and lineage.

Principles we hold

  • No customer, investor or partner gains hidden authority over PCC’s constitutional principles, operator sovereignty, ethical boundaries, developmental lineage or humanitarian purpose.
  • Broad or permanent exclusivity is not granted merely to secure an early payment.
  • Sale or assignment of core IP is not a default path; it requires separate, high-scrutiny review.

What we do not do here

We do not publish pricing, valuation, or commercial terms on the website, and we make no general-availability claim. This is the start of a relationship.
