Licensing

日本語

AIKernel.Providers is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Why Apache 2.0

This repository contains provider implementations, endpoint integration, runtime-driver boundaries, local runtime bridges, and native compute provider surfaces. These are implementation surfaces rather than contract-only DTOs, so Apache 2.0 provides the patent language needed for commercial and research use.

Relationship to AIKernel.NET

AIKernel.NET contract packages are MIT licensed because they contain interfaces, DTOs, enums, and schema contracts. AIKernel.Providers consumes those contracts but does not change their license.

In short:

  • AIKernel.NET contracts: MIT
  • AIKernel.Core implementation packages: Apache-2.0 where applicable
  • AIKernel.Providers implementation packages: Apache-2.0

Provider Services and External Assets

AIKernel.Providers does not relicense external provider services, local model weights, native CUDA libraries, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Microsoft packages, or local runtime assets.

Operators must use external services, model files, native binaries, and runtime packages under their original license and service terms.

Local Environment Files

Local environment files, path notes, API keys, and provider credentials are not part of the package contract and must not be committed. Documentation may refer to their purpose, but repository content must not depend on local absolute paths or secrets.
