LicenseOS
Standard License Library

License types that speak machine

LicenseOS standardizes IP licensing into nine clear, machine-readable types so deals are self-serve. Rights holders pick a type, set thresholds, and publish. Developers get an API that returns allow / warn / review / block — no legal grey area, no back-and-forth email.
