# Sovereignty Foundation Default Terms Version 1.0 · Issued 2026-10-15 Fixed text of this version: https://sovfound.org/licenses/default/1.0/license.txt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. NO LICENSE IS GRANTED. ANY USE WITHOUT AN EXPRESS WRITTEN GRANT IS UNAUTHORIZED. ## 1. Definitions "Foundation" means Sovereignty Foundation Inc. "LIL" means Logos IP Licensing LLC. "Rights Holders" means the Foundation and LIL, each for the rights it owns, controls or administers. "Material" means anything owned, controlled or administered by a Rights Holder, in any form and however obtained: software in source or object form, models, weights, parameters, embeddings, datasets, documentation, specifications, interfaces, schemas, file formats, protocols, test vectors, benchmarks, configurations, designs, papers, figures, websites and their content, and every portion, copy, translation, compilation, modification or output of any of them. Material includes material that is publicly accessible. "Express Grant" means either (a) a license that the Material itself expressly names by its exact title and exact version, where the fixed text of that version is published at its own address under https://sovfound.org/licenses/, or (b) a written agreement or Supplementary Grant identifying You by name, signed by an authorized representative of LIL. "You" means any person or entity that receives, accesses, possesses or acts on Material, and anyone acting for, with or through them. ## 2. When these Terms govern These Terms govern all Material except Material, or the specific part of it, that an Express Grant covers. In particular, these Terms govern Material that names no license; refers only to https://sovfound.org/licenses/, the Foundation's licensing program or a license family without one exact version; names a license or version that does not exist, has been withdrawn or has no fixed text published at its own address; carries conflicting license statements; or is ambiguous in any way. An Express Grant reaches only the Material, the version and the rights it states. A license being published on the licensing page, being the current version, being more permissive, or covering other Material grants nothing for Material that does not expressly name it. Every doubt about whether, how far or to whom permission was given is resolved as no permission. Anyone claiming a permission bears the burden of producing the Express Grant that gives it. ## 3. No license No license, permission, immunity or right of any kind is granted, under any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, database right, design right or other intellectual property or proprietary right. Without an Express Grant You may not, in whole or in part: use, install, run or execute; copy, reproduce, download or store; modify, adapt, translate, port or compile; decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer; benchmark, test, evaluate or measure; use as input to, or to train, fine-tune, evaluate, distill, prompt-index or ground, any machine learning or artificial intelligence system; text- or data-mine, scrape, crawl or extract data from; prepare derivative works or competing implementations from the Material's expression; distribute, publish, publicly perform or display, host, make available, transmit, sublicense, sell, rent, lend or transfer; or permit or assist anyone else to do any of these. No right arises by implication, estoppel, exhaustion, course of dealing or performance, custom, prior or informal permission, payment, delay, silence, tolerance of any use, the Material being accessible, or the Material being described, cited or linked in a paper, a standard, a working group, a repository or a public page. Viewing, downloading, receiving or possessing a copy grants nothing. Any permission not given by an Express Grant, however and whenever communicated, is withdrawn. ## 4. Reservation of text and data mining The Rights Holders expressly reserve all rights of text and data mining in all Material, including for the training of artificial intelligence systems, within the meaning of Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and every equivalent provision of other law. This reservation is made in this machine-readable text and applies wherever Material is made available online. ## 5. Patents and notice Material may practice inventions claimed in patents and patent applications owned or controlled by the Foundation, which are identified in the registry at https://sovfound.org/registry/. To the extent the law permits, these Terms are actual notice of those patents and applications to anyone who receives or accesses Material. No patent license is granted. ## 6. Confidential material Material that has not been published by a Rights Holder is confidential and may contain trade secrets. Receiving it without an Express Grant, or by any means a Rights Holder did not authorize, gives no right to use or disclose it. Anyone holding such Material without an Express Grant must keep it confidential, must not use it, and must return or destroy it on request. ## 7. Notices Copyright, license, provenance and attribution notices on Material, including these Terms and any reference to them, are copyright management information. You may not remove, alter or obscure them, or distribute Material from which they have been removed or altered. ## 8. Unauthorized use Any act described in Section 3 without an Express Grant is unauthorized and may infringe the Rights Holders' rights. The Rights Holders reserve every right and every legal and equitable remedy, cumulatively, including injunctive relief, damages, profits, statutory damages, and costs and attorneys' fees where the law makes them available. On request, or on learning that no Express Grant covers it, anyone holding Material without an Express Grant must immediately stop all use and destroy or return every copy, including copies held in or derived into any system, model or dataset, and confirm in writing that this has been done. To the extent the law permits, any use of Material is acceptance of these Terms as a binding agreement, and that acceptance grants no license. ## 9. No warranty or liability Material is provided, if at all, "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent the law permits, the Rights Holders are not liable for any damages arising from any person's access to or use of Material. ## 10. Rights of others and mandatory law These Terms apply only to rights the Rights Holders own, control or administer. Third-party material in or with the Material is governed by its own identified terms. Nothing in these Terms limits an act that applicable law permits without the rights holder's consent and that cannot be excluded by contract, or any person's right to report unlawful conduct to a public authority. These Terms reduce no right or remedy the Rights Holders have under law. ## 11. Versions Each version of these Terms has fixed text at its own address and an exact-text digest. A later version applies to acts after its publication. It does not reduce the rights reserved by an earlier version for earlier acts. ## 12. General Colorado law governs, with exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Denver, Colorado, except that a Rights Holder may seek interim or injunctive relief, or enforce its rights, in any competent court. No failure or delay in enforcing any right is a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, it is enforced to the fullest extent lawful and the rest remains in effect. These Terms survive the end of any permission and any transfer of Material. Requests for permission: org@sovfound.org, administered for Logos IP Licensing LLC.
