# CASAN Commercial License and IP Decision
## Decision
CASAN is offered as **proprietary commercial software**. No rights to use,
copy, modify, distribute, host, or sublicense CASAN are granted except under a
written evaluation, PoC, subscription, or enterprise agreement signed by the
copyright owner and the customer.
For a paid PoC, the default grant is a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
time-limited right to deploy the delivered CASAN bundle in the customer’s
approved environment for the agreed evaluation scope. Production use, managed
service operation, redistribution, and source access require separate terms.
This decision applies to CASAN-authored material only. It does not override
third-party license obligations.
## Release controls
1. Regenerate `THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE.json` from the committed lockfile before
each paid-PoC or release candidate: `node scripts/generate-license-inventory.mjs`.
2. Review every `UNKNOWN`, copyleft, source-available, model, dataset, font,
icon, container-base-image, or copied-script license before shipment.
3. Include required notices and source-offer material in the release bundle
whenever a dependency license requires it.
4. Record the review owner, release version, decision, and exceptions in the
release Evidence Pack or legal review record.
5. Do not claim ownership of customer source code, prompts, or Evidence Pack
data; ownership and permitted processing are defined by the customer
agreement and data-processing terms.
## Known scope boundary
The generated inventory is complete for root-lockfile npm packages only. It is
not proof that Python tooling, operating-system packages, Docker base images,
models, datasets, or bundled assets are cleared. Those sources are release
blockers until separately inventoried and approved.
## Required legal review before external sale
Confirm copyright ownership/assignment for CASAN-authored code, trademark use,
customer contract templates, export-control applicability, open-source notices,
and country-specific privacy terms. This document records the product decision;
it is not a substitute for counsel.
