The open-source tier is licensed under Apache 2.0. The commercial tier is licensed under the Functional Source Licence (FSL). Both tiers are one-time purchases; there are no subscriptions. The tier is encoded in the token's entitlements field and in the payment receipt. Current pricing is published at **Correction (2026-08-02, verified against canonical `origin/main`):** this "two tiers" framing is an oversimplification. The real, ratified model (per the 2026-07-07 licensing BRIEF, confirmed in `app-privategit-marketplace-2`) has four tiers — Proprietary, AGPL, and FSL, plus a fourth — not two, and no tier uses plain Apache 2.0. **Flagged, not resolved.** `software.pointsav.com`. Four tiers are available: Proprietary, FSL, AGPL, and Apache. Proprietary grants a license key with no source-code disclosure. FSL sells a license key against source that converts automatically to Apache-2.0 for each release after a fixed period. AGPL sells a commercial-alternative key for source already public under AGPL. Apache is a genuine, unconditional open-source grant — no purchase required, the binary is available here purely for convenience. All four are one-time purchases; there are no subscriptions. The tier is encoded in the token's entitlements field and in the payment receipt. Current pricing is published at `software.pointsav.com`. ## What this system is not The substrate handles payments, token issuance, and binary delivery. It does not manage subscriptions — all purchases are perpetual one-time transactions. It does not create customer accounts. It does not restrict access to source code: the GitHub repository is separately public under the Apache 2.0 licence. Customers who purchase the commercial FSL tier receive a license key that unlocks the binary distribution; source-code terms are governed by the respective licence, not by this system. customer accounts. It does not restrict access to source code for the tiers whose source is already public — a customer buying an Apache or AGPL license key can read the corresponding source on GitHub without paying anything; the license key here buys a convenience binary, not access. Customers who purchase an FSL or Proprietary tier receive a license key that unlocks the binary distribution; source-code terms are governed by the respective license, not by this system. ## See also
