Metkagram · rights & collaboration

Publicly inspectable.
Not open for unrestricted copying.

Metkagram is a research-oriented language and NLP project. The repository stays public so the method, data structures and claims can be inspected and cited. That visibility is not a blanket license to reproduce the corpus, source, annotation system or pattern library in another product.

Rights notice effective 17 August 2026

01 · Rights model

Readable by default. Reuse by scope.

01

Website

Read, learn, link and cite. Ordinary end-user access stays public.

02

Code & implementation

Source-available for inspection. No general permission to modify, redistribute, mirror or ship a derived implementation.

03

Corpus, notation & patterns

New revisions are all-rights-reserved unless explicitly marked otherwise. Substantial copying, derived datasets and model-training use require permission.

04

Research & commercial use

Available through a written, scoped permission or license rather than an automatic grant to everyone.

02 · Without asking

What you can do directly

  1. 01

    Use the hosted learning interface

    Read and practice with Metkagram as an end user.

  2. 02

    Link and cite

    Reference the project, research pages and canonical records in academic work, teaching, commentary and reviews.

  3. 03

    Discuss and evaluate

    Critique the method and compare its research hypotheses with other approaches.

  4. 04

    Use legal exceptions

    This policy does not remove quotation, fair-use/fair-dealing or other rights that applicable law gives independently of a license.

03 · Ask first

Uses that need a scoped permission

  1. 01Bulk copying, scraping, mirroring or redistribution of substantial source/data.
  2. 02Derived corpora, annotation datasets, pattern libraries or competing training collections.
  3. 03Training or fine-tuning models, production RAG corpora, or commercial evaluation datasets using substantial Metkagram material.
  4. 04Commercial product, API, agent or educational-platform integration.
  5. 05Redistribution of modified source code or a substantially derived implementation.
  6. 06Reuse that strips Metkagram provenance, canonical links or attribution.

04 · Proposals

Research is welcome. So are serious commercial proposals.

01

Academic research

Preregistered learning studies, theses, annotation-quality work and controlled NLP experiments.

02

Data & API licensing

Defined corpus subsets, integrations and machine-readable access with explicit provenance terms.

03

Joint experiments

Co-designed research where dataset scope, publication and contribution roles are agreed before the study.

04

Commercial partnership

Product embedding, language-data licensing, technology partnerships and investment discussions.

05 · Method boundary

Protect the work without pretending to own linguistics.

Metkagram claims authorship and rights in its concrete code, documentation, corpus curation, annotation materials, schemas, pattern collections, visual expression and research artifacts. It does not claim copyright ownership over abstract linguistic ideas, facts, generic NLP annotation, retrieval practice or other general methods.

06 · License history

Previous releases stay historically honest.

Material distributed before 17 August 2026 under CC BY-NC 4.0 keeps the rights already granted for those copies. New revisions and newly added material follow the current repository rights notice unless explicitly marked otherwise.

07 · Start a proposal

Describe the use, not just “can we use it?”

Include who you are, the exact data or component needed, research or product goal, whether material will be redistributed or used with models, expected output, and commercial context.
