# License scope

Copyright (c) 2026 Robin Stethem.

The [MIT License](LICENSE) applies to Robin Stethem's original design-system code, documentation and neutral authored specimens in this repository, except material identified below or carrying its own notice. It is not a blanket license for every item the viewer displays or references.

## Original design-system work

The grant covers Robin's original contributions to the framework and tooling (`packages/`, `tooling/`, `apps/studio/`), tests, schemas, documentation, workbench skins, portable blueprints and starter, and original workbench fixtures in `collections/original/`. It also covers Robin's original neutral specimen/rendering code in `collections/reference-specimens/` and `collections/reference-sheets/`, not ownership of their reference subjects or upstream analysis. Retain any applicable upstream notices when reusing mixed or derived material.

The same grant covers copies of this design-system code distributed in a starter, blueprint, vendored package or static viewer. The paths above describe the source repository; copying the code into another project does not change that project's license. Preserve the MIT copyright and permission notice with copies or substantial portions.

## Separate rights and exclusions

- **Application material:** app-owned source, token/catalog snapshots and inventory in `registry/apps/`, application fixtures, and packaged `previews/` remain under their respective source terms. This license does not relicense Focus, Great Circle, stethem, Reads, Bandit or any other application, or a separate atlas. It grants no access to private source.
- **Imported reference analyses:** `collections/reference/` and derived analysis/token/recipe content retain the upstream VoltAgent MIT license and copyright. Every study's `LICENSE` and `ATTRIBUTION.md` must remain intact. Robin's copyright notice does not replace or claim ownership of upstream work.
- **Third-party assets and identity:** company names, trademarks, logos, fonts, photographs, images, screenshots, product interfaces and other third-party assets are not licensed by Robin's MIT grant. References to them do not imply permission, affiliation or endorsement. Independently licensed assets retain their own terms and notices.
- **Historical material:** scans and other material under `collections/material/`, when included, retain their stated provenance and rights status. Public-domain material is not claimed as Robin's copyrighted work. Original software used to display it remains covered as described above.
- **Dependencies and other contributions:** retain their own licenses, copyright notices and attribution. A separately identified license takes precedence for that material.

See [THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md), per-study notices and, in a packaged viewer, `BUNDLED-DEPENDENCIES.json` and included font notices. A source revision or file hash identifies evidence; it does not grant additional rights. Licensing does not change repository visibility, publish a package, or authorize deployment.
