Licensing
Build with Free. Request Intelligence.
One clear product boundary.
Qualifying startups can build commercially with ToggleLogic Free without advance contact under its published license. ToggleLogic Intelligence is proprietary, separately licensed, and privately distributed to approved organizations.
Request an Intelligence evaluation
Contact Motherboard to discuss your use case, evaluation scope, deployment environment, access, and commercial terms.
The ToggleLogic Free License 2.0 controls public Free use. ToggleLogic Intelligence is governed by a separate written proprietary license supplied privately to authorized recipients.
Contact us when you want an Intelligence evaluation, maintained registry intelligence, an architecture discussion, support, a partnership, or commercial terms. Inquiry does not itself grant access or a license.
Startup Use
Two objective thresholds. No projected-sales test.
You qualify until your Startup Group first reaches either threshold, calculated on a consolidated basis across entities you control. Passive minority investors and their other portfolio companies are not grouped with you solely because of an investment, observer right, or customary protective rights.
Funding counts when received—not when announced, committed, or projected. Revenue is measured at each calendar month-end from amounts actually recognized under the accounting method consistently used in your books. ARR, valuation, pipeline, bookings that are not recognized as revenue, and projected annual sales do not count.
What happens after either threshold is crossed
The Threshold Event occurs and an automatic 180-day Transition License begins. Your product does not have to shut down.
Notify Motherboard through the threshold-notice path. Contact begins a discussion; it does not itself create a paid license or force either party to reach an agreement.
Continue the same commercial use, customer onboarding, shipping, maintenance, and ordinary product operations while considering a commercial license, extension, or migration.
Without a commercial agreement or written extension, stop new external commercialization using ToggleLogic Free. A 12-month continuity period permits security, compatibility, defect-correction, and migration updates for customers already deployed or contractually committed.
Two products, two distribution paths, one clear proprietary boundary
ToggleLogic Free is public and source-available under its published license. ToggleLogic Intelligence, the production Toggle Registry, maintained benchmark data, normalization, weighting, rankings, private classifiers, customer evidence, credentials, signed model packs, support, and hosted services remain proprietary and separately delivered.
Intelligence inquiry and approval
An organization may request an evaluation or licensing discussion. Submitting a form does not grant access, a software license, production rights, or guaranteed eligibility. Approved recipients receive access separately under written terms through a private distribution channel.
Acquisitions and controlled entities
Controlled subsidiaries share the grant and are aggregated for both thresholds. A bona fide acquisition is not a retroactive breach. At closing, the combined controlled group is tested; if either threshold has been reached, closing starts the notice and transition timeline.
Notice, cure, and stable released versions
Send a threshold notice within 30 days. A first non-fraudulent breach is generally curable for 30 days after written notice. Rights for a lawfully received release are not revocable without a material breach, although Motherboard may stop distributing it or use different terms for future releases.
