2.1 | 50 | === 2. Contributor Commercial Grant (Contributor License Agreement) === |
| |
1.1 | 51 | |
| |
2.4 | 52 | By submitting a contribution, you **also grant PLANIPIX** a **perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence** |
| |
2.1 | 53 | to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, compile, sub-licence and monetise your contribution for commercial |
| 54 | or non-commercial purposes connected with Équnité. | ||
| 55 | This grant concerns **economic rights only**; your moral rights remain intact under French law. | ||
| |
1.1 | 56 | |
| |
2.5 | 57 | This dual-licence model lets PLANIPIX provide value-added or paid access (e.g., a small fee for players who cannot yet contribute or use Équnité on the same level as other users) |
| |
2.1 | 58 | while the public retains CC BY-NC-SA freedoms. |
| 59 | |||
| |
1.1 | 60 | {{warning}} |
| |
2.1 | 61 | This licence does **not** apply to public-domain material or content covered by legal exceptions. |
| 62 | No warranty is given; separate rights (privacy, publicity, defamation, database) may still apply. | ||
| |

| |
1.1 | 71 | |
| |
2.1 | 72 | == 🔒 Private & Restricted Areas == |
| |
1.1 | 73 | |
| |
2.8 | 74 | Certain materials (e.g., sensitive personal data, internal reports) are accessible only to authorised users and are **not** covered by the public CC licence. Unauthorised access or redistribution results in immediate licence termination, permanent suspension, and—**to the extent permitted by law**—waiver of claims against PLANIPIX or the community. |
| |
1.1 | 75 | |
| |
2.1 | 76 | == 💶 Commercial Use, Revenue and Transparency == |
| |

| |
2.2 | 78 | * **Exclusive commercial rights** – No third party may exploit Équnité content commercially without written consent from PLANIPIX. |
| |
2.8 | 79 | * **Founder compensation** – Platform revenues (donations, sponsorships, licensing fees, premium services) may pay operational costs and fair salaries, including remuneration for the founder-developer. |
| 80 | * **Reinvestment pledge** – Profits are reinvested into Équnité’s mission; PLANIPIX will not sell the project in a way that compromises openness. | ||
| 81 | * **Financial transparency** – PLANIPIX publishes an annual summary of community-sourced income and its allocation (infrastructure, development, outreach, salaries, etc.). | ||
| 82 | * **Liability disclaimer** – The platform is provided *“as is”*. To the maximum extent allowed by law, PLANIPIX disclaims liability for any loss or damage arising from use of Équnité or reliance on its content. | ||
| |
1.14 | 83 | |
| |
2.1 | 84 | == 🔁 Upstream Sharing Requirement == |
| |
1.1 | 85 | |
| |
2.8 | 86 | Any **Modified Material** derived from Équnité content must be submitted back to the platform—via designated channels—within **30 days **of public distribution. This keeps improvements in the commons. |
| |
1.9 | 87 | |
| |
2.1 | 88 | == 🏛️ Governance and Community Roadmap == |
| |
1.9 | 89 | |
| |
2.1 | 90 | === Current phase : Founder stewardship === |
| |
1.1 | 91 | |
| |
2.1 | 92 | PLANIPIX retains decisive authority to protect coherence, mission and brand integrity. |
| |
1.1 | 93 | |
| |
2.1 | 94 | === Transition triggers === |
| |
1.17 | 95 | |
| |
2.1 | 96 | A **Community Advisory Council** will be convened once the community is large enough to sustain it. |
| 97 | Minimum conditions are: | ||
| |
1.17 | 98 | |
| |
2.2 | 99 | * **≥ 50** unique active contributors during any rolling 12-month period **and** |
| |
2.1 | 100 | * **≥ 5** willing volunteers ready to serve on the Council. |
| |
1.17 | 101 | |
| |
2.1 | 102 | PLANIPIX may establish the Council earlier at its discretion. |
| 103 | If these thresholds are not met after two years, PLANIPIX will review annually and consult the community on alternative models. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | === Long-term vision === | ||
| 106 | |||
| |
2.8 | 107 | PLANIPIX will explore creating an independent non-profit foundation (or similar public-benefit entity) to hold key assets when scale and resources justify it. Any future governance change will be transparent and must uphold Équnité’s open mission. |
| |
2.1 | 108 | |
| |
2.8 | 109 | Founders retain veto and knot-breaking power against decisions that would privatise or derail the project. |
| 110 | |||
| |
1.1 | 111 | == 🔄 Amendments == |
| 112 | |||
| |
2.9 | 113 | PLANIPIX may amend this licence for legal, technical or community reasons, **provided no amendment reduces contributor freedoms or increases public-access restrictions**. Substantive changes apply prospectively and are announced with a 30-day public comment period. |
