Licensing Policy

How WHL licenses. And why we don't publish to PyPI.

WHL holds 25 filed provisional patents and additional drafted bundles. This page summarizes our licensing model, the Sayo Siglo royalty on wireless-power-derived products, and our deliberate choice not to publish to public package registries.

1. Patent licensing

WHL licenses individual patents, patent families, and the entire portfolio. Licensing is bilateral and per-engagement — we do not offer blanket open-source patent grants. Inquiries: contact@wernerharmoniclabs.com?subject=Patent Licensing.

2. Sayo Siglo 33% royalty

All Trickle-Tech derivatives — including Patent 22 (Governed Wireless Power Transfer) and any downstream applications in automotive, medical implant, drone, AMR, or DER markets — carry a mandatory 33% royalty under the Sayo Siglo policy. This royalty is non-negotiable and is the canonical rate (overriding any earlier vault documents that reference 1.618% or 25%). The royalty applies at the deployment level, not at the manufacturing level, and is documented in every Patent 22 license agreement.

3. Why we do not publish to public package registries

WHL deliberately does not publish to PyPI, npm, crates.io, or any other public open-source package registry. The reasons:

  • Trade-secret preservation: our gate compositions, attack taxonomies, and governance kernels embed implementation-level knowledge that should not be visible to non-licensed parties.
  • Patent foreign-filing protection: public disclosure of certain unfiled drafts triggers the 12-month bar on foreign filing under most treaty regimes. We file before we publish.
  • License control: a public package cannot enforce the Sayo Siglo royalty on Trickle-Tech derivatives. Private licensing can.
  • Customer trust: regulated buyers prefer signed, source-shared, NDA-bound delivery over pip install.

Customers who need our SDKs receive them via private PyPI mirror or source-shared license under NDA.

4. Product licensing tiers (summary)

Detailed pricing is on /pricing.html. Generally:

  • Free / Eval — limited; for evaluation only.
  • Pro — pay-as-you-go for self-serve small deployments.
  • Enterprise — annual contract for production deployments.
  • Sovereign — on-prem, air-gapped, HSM-integrated, custom contract.

5. SBIR Phase III and federal pathways

Patent 8 (Governed Execution OS) qualifies WHL for sole-source SBIR Phase III procurement under FAR 6.302-5. Federal-contracting inquiries: see /programs.html.

6. Custom engagements and co-build

For partners willing to anchor a specific designed product or vertical, we offer custom revenue-share or equity arrangements. See /roadmap.html for the pipeline. Inquiries: contact@wernerharmoniclabs.com?subject=Co-Build.

7. Open-source contributions

WHL does maintain selective public artifacts (documentation, reference implementations of non-IP-critical patterns) on private GitHub. Public open-sourcing of specific products may occur after the relevant patents are filed and the IP review is complete. Currently in review for potential open-sourcing: AgentSafety-72 taxonomy (core attacks only, not full implementation).
