Studio Console Use License

Copyright (c) 2026 Kawika Ohumukini. All rights reserved.

This license governs the use of Studio Console ("Console"), the operator
command-line tool and its associated components and documentation. Console
is distributed as a standalone artifact and is licensed separately from the
Studio platform software, which is governed by its own Studio Use License.

This is not an open-source license. The source code is publicly available
for transparency and community contribution, but commercial use is subject
to the terms below.


1. PERMITTED USE

You may:

  (a) Install and use Console to provision, configure, back up, restore,
      upgrade, scale, and otherwise manage your own Studio deployments.

  (b) Install and provide Console on a client's infrastructure, and use it to
      install, configure, manage, and provide ongoing management of Studio
      deployments for individual clients as part of bespoke service
      engagements, and to provide consulting, installation, deployment,
      configuration, training, and support services related to Console and to
      Studio. The copying and installation of Console reasonably necessary to
      deliver these services is permitted notwithstanding Section 2.

  (c) Modify Console for your own use.

  (d) Contribute to this project.


2. RESTRICTIONS

You may not:

  (a) Use Console, a modified version of Console, or any component derived
      from it, to build, offer, or operate a platform, tool, or service whose
      primary function is the automated or self-service provisioning of Studio
      instances to third parties, or the vending of Studio instances as a
      product. (Delivering managed services for a bespoke client's own
      deployment, as permitted in Section 1(b), is not restricted by this
      paragraph.)

  (b) Offer automated or self-service provisioning of Studio instances to
      third parties, whether by exposing Console directly, wrapping it, or
      reimplementing its provisioning behavior.

  (c) Fork or rebrand Console for resale or distribution as a competing
      provisioning, deployment, or management tool or service.

  (d) Redistribute, sublicense, or sell copies of the Console source code
      as a standalone product or component.

  (e) Create, distribute, or sell pre-configured images, containers,
      deployment packages, or infrastructure templates that contain or
      install Console for third-party use.

  (f) Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or license notices included
      in Console.

The distinction this license draws is between OPERATING and DISTRIBUTING.
You may use Console to run and manage Studio deployments, your own or a
client's. You may not use Console to build a business that provisions,
hosts, or distributes Studio deployments as a service to others.


3. RELATIONSHIP TO STUDIO AND MARKETPLACE

Console is a separate artifact from the Studio platform and from Studio
Marketplace packages. This license governs Console only. It grants no rights
in the Studio platform software (see the Studio Use License) or in any
marketplace package (see the Studio Marketplace Package License). Use of Console
to manage a deployment does not authorize any use of Studio or marketplace
content that those terms do not independently permit.


4. TRADEMARKS

"Studio," "Studio Console," "Self-Host Studio," "Self-Host Hub," and
associated logos and marks are trademarks of the copyright holder. Use of
these trademarks is subject to applicable trademark law. You may use these
names to truthfully describe your relationship with the Software (e.g.,
"manages Self-Host Studio," "built on Studio Console"). You may not use the
trademarks in a way that implies endorsement, affiliation, or origin without
prior written consent. Nothing in this license grants the right to use these
names or marks as part of a product name, company name, or primary branding.
