Licence & scope
Quiet record of what the Creative Commons notice covers — and what remains separately licensed. This page is reference copy, not a dual-licence campaign.
Public specification
Public TLA-185 / TLA-169 specification and schema documentation are published under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Attribution is required. Non-commercial reference use is permitted without modification under that licence. Commercial implementation requires a separate Archive licence.
Copyright
Copyright in the public specification is held by The Landscape Vault Pty Ltd.
Copyright is intended for assignment to The Landscape Archive Foundation when a suitable independent entity is established. Until then, the Foundation is stewarded and powered by The Landscape Vault Pty Ltd; commercial products and support are operated by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.
Open grammar vs commercial tools
Citing the open TLA-185 field dictionary and conformance rules under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 is free. That Creative Commons notice does not licence Landscape Archive Tools desktop applications, filled Library depth, Hub / Revit delivery, Data API, Archive Seal attestation, or other commercial products of The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.
Self-serve Foundation validators and Evidence Checker may remain paused. Local desktop Evidence checks and admin-operated Seal verification are Archive product surfaces. Binding Archive terms are published on the commercial site.
Commercial products
Commercial products, populated datasets, and software — including the Landscape Library, The Landscape Archive Hub, Landscape Archive Tools desktop applications, connectors, Studio+™ materials, Data API, Archive Seal, and related delivery tooling — are licensed separately by The Landscape Archive Pty Ltd.
Those products are not offered under Creative Commons.
