§2 · License

License terms — to be determined.

Final licensing terms for the forthcoming reference implementation are under consideration. They will be announced on this page ahead of the implementation's public release.

Commercial use
A licence is expected to be required for commercial implementations of the patented protocol — terms TBD.
Patent integrity
Every public statement on this site is reconciled against the filed patent specifications. The two non-provisional applications (Nos. 19/551,620 and 19/551,624) are the authoritative description of the protocol — public materials describe, but do not redefine, what is filed.
Research and non-commercial use
Independent research, academic citation, simulation reproduction, and non-commercial experimentation are intended uses of the protocol description. Final licence terms for the reference implementation will preserve these uses by design.
Implementation pre-release
A Python reference implementation exists in pre-release form and is available to qualified teams on request via the /implement page. Public distribution is gated on the licence decision.
Open governance plan
The intent is to engage standards bodies (ASTM F38, ICAO RPAS Panel) once the reference implementation matures. Governance terms — contributor agreements, reference-implementation maintainership, conformance testing — will be published alongside the licence.
Trademark
VerSky™ is a trademark of Jittapol Prukpatarakul. Use of the name in a manner that suggests endorsement requires permission.
