# Release Starport 9 Notice

Release Starport 9 is stewarded by Samuel Leighton Lair.

Copyright (c) 2026 Samuel Leighton Lair and Release Starport 9 contributors.

Unless a file states otherwise, RS9's own source code, publication infrastructure, generators, adapters, templates, verification tooling, documentation, and other RS9-authored material are licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. See LICENSE.

Commercial licenses for RS9 itself are available for proprietary terms. Commercial licensing contact: lair001@gmail.com.

## Distributed-project licensing boundary

RS9 is publication infrastructure. Software that RS9 packages, mirrors, verifies, republishes, or submits to downstream ecosystems is not relicensed merely because RS9 processes or distributes it.

Each distributed project, release artifact, dependency, package payload, and other third-party or separately maintained material remains subject to the copyright, license, notice, trademark, and other terms established by its authoritative source repository, release, or upstream rights holder.

Generated package metadata must describe the distributed project's applicable license rather than treating RS9's AGPL-3.0-or-later license as the payload license.

A project's `.rs9/` configuration lives in that project's repository and is governed by that project's own repository terms unless the file states otherwise.

Third-party material incorporated into RS9 itself remains subject to its own license and notice requirements.
