2.1 | 44 | === 2. Contributor Commercial Grant (Contributor License Agreement) === |
| |
1.1 | 45 | |
| |
2.13 | 46 | By submitting a contribution, you **also grant PLANIPIX** a **perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence** to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, compile, sub-licence and monetise your contribution for commercial or non-commercial purposes connected with Équnité. This grant concerns **economic rights only**; your moral rights remain intact under French law. |
| |
1.1 | 47 | |
| |
2.13 | 48 | 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) while the public retains CC BY-NC-SA freedoms. |
| |

| |
2.1 | 51 | This licence does **not** apply to public-domain material or content covered by legal exceptions. |

2.28 | 62 | == ✍️ Collaborative Improvements == |
| 63 | |||
| |
2.30 | 64 | Any material published in the **Équnité Wiki **may be edited and improved by other contributors, provided that such changes do not distort or misrepresent the original intent of the contribution. Contributors agree that their submissions are open to justified collaborative edits in the spirit of accuracy, clarity, and community benefit, while respecting the integrity of the original content. |
| |

| |
2.29 | 68 | Certain materials (e.g., sensitive personal data, internal reports) are accessible only to authorized users and are not covered by the public CC license. Unauthorized access or redistribution will result in immediate license termination, permanent suspension, and—**to the extent permitted by law**—a waiver of claims against PLANIPIX or the community. |

| 74 | * **Reinvestment pledge** – Profits are reinvested into Équnité’s mission; PLANIPIX will not sell the project in a way that compromises openness. | ||
| 75 | * **Financial transparency** – PLANIPIX publishes an annual summary of community-sourced income and its allocation (infrastructure, development, outreach, salaries, etc.). | ||
| |
2.19 | 76 | * **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. |

2.1 | 82 | == 🏛️ Governance and Community Roadmap == |
| |
1.9 | 83 | |
| |
2.1 | 84 | === Current phase : Founder stewardship === |
| |
1.1 | 85 | |
| |
2.1 | 86 | PLANIPIX retains decisive authority to protect coherence, mission and brand integrity. |
| |
1.1 | 87 | |
| |
2.1 | 88 | === Transition triggers === |
| |
1.17 | 89 | |
| |
2.1 | 90 | A **Community Advisory Council** will be convened once the community is large enough to sustain it. |
| 91 | Minimum conditions are: | ||
| |
1.17 | 92 | |
| |
2.2 | 93 | * **≥ 50** unique active contributors during any rolling 12-month period **and** |
| |
2.1 | 94 | * **≥ 5** willing volunteers ready to serve on the Council. |
| |
1.17 | 95 | |
| |
2.1 | 96 | PLANIPIX may establish the Council earlier at its discretion. |
| 97 | If these thresholds are not met after two years, PLANIPIX will review annually and consult the community on alternative models. | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | === Long-term vision === | ||
| 100 | |||
| |
2.8 | 101 | 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. |
