# Licensing

> A split licence — brand assets are proprietary, code and tokens are MIT.


The repository carries **two categories of intellectual property** under
different terms. The full text is in
[`LICENSE.md`](https://github.com/projectious-work/brand/blob/main/LICENSE.md);
this page summarises it.

## Brand assets — proprietary, source-available

Everything representing the visual identity: logos, brand imagery, and the
supplied design-system documents.

| | |
|---|---|
| **Permitted** | Download and view for personal reference, editorial reporting, or authorised partner use |
| **Prohibited** | Modification, derivative works, sale, or commercial use — including merchandise or software featuring these assets — without prior written consent |
| **No impersonation** | Use must not imply endorsement, affiliation, or ownership by anyone other than projectious.work |

Document templates fall under these same terms: they
embed brand identity (colours, fonts, tagline). You may use them as structural
reference for your own templates, but not redistribute them with projectious.work
branding intact.

## Code, scripts, and tokens — MIT

Source code, automation scripts, and configuration files (`.py`, `.js`, `.sh`,
`.json`, `.yaml`) are MIT-licensed: use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
distribute, sublicense, and sell, provided the copyright and permission notice
travel with the software.

The design **tokens** — documented under [Tokens](/docs/tokens/) — are in
this category. The *values* are free to use; the *marks* are not.

## What this means in practice

{{< rules >}}
{{% do %}}
Use the token files, the spacing scale, and the component measurements in your
own work. Link to this documentation. Write about the brand editorially.
{{% /do %}}
{{% dont %}}
Ship the logo in your product, sell anything carrying the marks, or present
modified brand assets as projectious.work's.
{{% /dont %}}
{{< /rules >}}
