V. Licensing

5.1 Licensing under Nexus Infrastructure Commons and Public-Purpose Clauses

5.1.1 Open Licensing as a Public Infrastructure Mandate All DevOps contributions within the Nexus Fellowship shall be subject to the principles of public-purpose licensing under the Nexus Infrastructure Commons (NIC). These licenses are designed to facilitate global public interest deployments while preserving compliance with treaty-aligned legal frameworks.

(a) Each source code artifact, modular component, integration script, or infrastructure unit authored under this Charter shall be licensed under an approved SPDX identifier, as recognized by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) or Free Software Foundation (FSF). (b) All licenses shall be tagged with enforceable RDF anchors and linked to clause identifiers referencing the Nexus Commons Charter and applicable corridor governance protocols. (c) Licensing practices must conform to interoperability constraints under relevant legal instruments, such as OSI principles, DFSG guidelines, WIPO standards, and corridor-specific localization treaties.

5.1.2 Tiered Licensing Based on Deployment Zones and Use Cases (i) Core modules (e.g., NXSCore, NXSQue, GRIX, DSS) shall be governed by strong copyleft licenses (e.g., AGPL, GPL-3) to ensure maximum reuse and transparency across sovereign corridors. (ii) Middleware, APIs, front-end applications, and user-facing interfaces may adopt permissive licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0), contingent upon clause-enforced restrictions on dual-use or ethics-sensitive applications. (iii) Hybrid or public-private partnership deployments may be governed by clause-based dual licensing models with pre-defined trigger conditions, enforcement constraints, and dispute resolution routes.

5.1.3 Clause-Wrapped SPDX and RDF Licensing Annotations (i) Each license declaration shall be encoded in machine-readable RDF with clause wrappers that reference contributor identity, DAO ratification records, and corridor-specific policy variables. (ii) SPDX documents must reference persistent identifiers (e.g., Zenodo DOIs) and DAG verification hashes to support reproducibility, traceability, and IP integrity. (iii) RDF annotations shall be audit-ready and ingestible by the NSF Clause Registry and DAO observability layers.

5.1.4 Licensing Enforcement via NSF and DAO Arbitration (i) All violations of licensing terms—including unlicensed forks, improper commercial exploitation, or clause-breach dissemination—shall be subject to clause-challenge procedures initiated via DAO governance portals. (ii) The Nexus Standards Foundation (NSF) shall maintain a dedicated licensing enforcement tribunal with authority to execute rollback clauses, impose corridor-level quarantines, or trigger binding arbitration. (iii) Contributors retain moral authorship rights but waive individual enforcement in favor of DAO-bound dispute resolution and simulation-validated arbitration.

5.1.5 Commons Readiness Scores and Licensing Review Hooks (i) Licensing audits shall be embedded into the readiness scoring framework, with evaluation criteria including clause-chain integrity, licensing clarity, redline compliance, and ethics governance. (ii) Readiness scores shall be a determinant for DAO funding eligibility, corridor deployment status, and inclusion in public procurement or treaty-driven pilot programs. (iii) Any licensing modification must pass through RDF-based clause amendment flows, accompanied by DAG validation and DAO quorum approval.

5.1.6 Licensing Escrow and Fork Management for Treaty Zones (i) For modules designated as high-risk or strategically sensitive, DAO may authorize licensing escrow conditions with preprogrammed clause conditions for emergency activation. (ii) Escrow logic must be encoded into the source DAG as smart contract-compatible rollback triggers or ethics gate sequences.

5.1.8 Integration with Educational, Civic, and Treaty Programs (i) All licenses must explicitly permit reuse in treaty-compliant educational, civic, and humanitarian domains, subject to clause-based constraints. (ii) Each module shall be annotated with a reusability tier (e.g., Open Education, Commons Prototype, Civic Sandbox) aligned with its ethics approval status. (iii) Clause-enforced licenses must be available in corridor-native legal languages to facilitate localized enforcement and international observability.

5.1.9 DAO-Led Licensing Amendments and Innovation Forks (i) DAO may propose and ratify amendments to licensing terms based on infrastructure category shifts, DAG observability anomalies, or tribunal decisions. (ii) Contributors maintain the right to petition or dispute proposed licensing changes through simulation-governed challenge protocols. (iii) Innovation forks must maintain clause lineage, reproducibility, and corridor treaty alignment to qualify for re-integration into NSF-tracked deployment registers.

5.1.10 Zenodo, GitHub, and NSF Anchor Synchronization (i) All license declarations and modifications must be cross-anchored to Zenodo datasets, GitHub SPDX manifests, and the NSF Clause Registry. (ii) License versions must automatically update upon clause hash changes, DAG re-signatures, or RDF schema upgrades. (iii) A public ledger of licensing history must be made available for regulatory, DAO, and academic audits, with sovereign traceability through corridor observability maps.

5.2 Open-Source Clauses Enforced with SPDX and RDF Anchors

5.2.1 Legal Authority of Clause-Anchored Licensing All source code, simulation models, infrastructure scripts, and integration logic contributed to the Nexus Fellowship shall be accompanied by clause-anchored open-source declarations.
