## Scope of this licence

The MIT licence above covers the ClawBio repository: the runner, the CLI, the
shared tooling, and skill code that does not declare otherwise.

It does **not** automatically cover:

1. **Skills that declare their own `license:`** in their SKILL.md frontmatter.
   A per-skill declaration overrides this file for that skill's directory.
   Contributed skill code is expected to be MIT or Apache-2.0 (see
   CONTRIBUTING.md); anything else is an exception granted case by case and is
   surfaced in `skills/catalog.json`.

2. **Third-party models, weights, reference data and databases** that a skill
   downloads or requires at runtime. These carry their own terms, which are
   frequently non-commercial, and no licence in this repository can grant
   rights over them. Where a skill depends on such an artefact it declares
   `model_license:` and/or `data_license:` in its frontmatter. Those fields are
   the authoritative signal for whether a given use is permitted.

If you are evaluating ClawBio for commercial use, read a skill's `license`,
`model_license` and `data_license` fields together. The most restrictive of
the three governs. `skills/catalog.json` carries all three for every skill so
they can be audited in bulk.
