Project License

The AEther Flow source repository is split-licensed. Research and documentation content are generally licensed under CC BY 4.0, while code and tooling are generally licensed under Apache-2.0, unless a closer file or directory notice says otherwise.

Split license summary

What the upstream license summary says

The practical reading rule is simple: identify whether the material is research/documentation or code/tooling, then check for a narrower notice before relying on the default.

Research and documentation: CC BY 4.0 unless narrowed by a closer noticeThe upstream license summary applies Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International to physics research, ontology material, GR-derivation material, manuscripts, generated manuscript PDFs, research-path articles, explanatory diagrams, and non-code research documentation unless a file or directory says otherwise.
Code and tooling: Apache-2.0 unless narrowed by a closer noticeThe upstream license summary applies Apache License, Version 2.0 to scripts, tests, workflow configuration, schemas, validation tools, equation-verification software, repo-local agent tooling, and AI research-control implementation unless a file or directory says otherwise.
Mixed files: Nearest explicit notice controlsFor mixed prose and executable material, use the nearest explicit file or directory notice. Without a narrower notice, prose defaults to CC BY 4.0 and executable or validation material defaults to Apache-2.0.

Boundaries

Reuse permission stays separate from claim status.

Licensing grants reuse permissions. It does not promote a scientific, mathematical, governance, or workflow claim.

Third-party material

Separate licenses still apply

Third-party material, vendored assets, and externally licensed references remain under their own licenses and notices.

Claim boundary

Reuse permission is not scientific approval

The upstream license explicitly separates reuse permissions from scientific status. It does not imply completion of the first-principles derivation of GR from the AEther / AEther-flow ontology.

Authoritative source

Read the upstream LICENSE before reuse

This page summarizes the public license orientation for readers. The controlling license texts and narrower notices remain in the source repository.
