 # Licensing
 
-TrustKit is dual-licensed by artifact type. GitHub’s license detector reads
-[`LICENSE`](LICENSE), which is the unmodified **CC BY 4.0** legal code.
+TrustKit is licensed by artifact type, on one rule:
+
+> **Machine-readable definitions are MIT. Prose is CC BY 4.0.**
+
+If a file is something you embed, vendor, parse, or generate from, it is MIT
+and carries no attribution condition. If it is something you read, it is
+CC BY 4.0 and attribution is the price.
+
+GitHub's license detector reads the root [`LICENSE`](LICENSE), the unmodified
+CC BY 4.0 legal code, so the repository badge says **CC BY 4.0**. That covers
+the prose, which is most of the repository by volume. It does not describe
+`schemas/`, which is MIT — see the table.

-| Teardown *content* under `repos/agent-ux-teardowns/teardowns/` (when added) | **CC BY-NC 4.0** | declared in that tree |

+
+## Why the schemas are MIT
+
+The point of publishing the heuristics, the trust ladder, and the gap taxonomy
+as YAML is that other people put them **inside** things — a CI check, a linter,
+a scoring service, a product's own config. Creative Commons says plainly that
+its licenses are not intended for software, and many legal teams will not
+approve CC-licensed files in a codebase. A license that makes a corporate
+adopter open a ticket is a license that loses the adoption.
+
+Attribution is still wanted, and [`CITATION.cff`](CITATION.cff) makes it
+one click. It is just not a condition of use.
+
+## What this means in practice
 
-The bundled YAML under `packages/aux-audit/schemas/` is a copy of the canonical
-definitions and remains **CC BY 4.0**, even though the CLI that reads it is MIT.
+- **Vendoring `aux-heuristics.yaml` into a closed-source product** — fine, MIT.
+- **Shipping a tool that bundles the schemas** — fine, MIT, which is why the
+  copies under `packages/aux-audit/schemas/` need no separate carve-out.
+- **Quoting the onboarding docs in a blog post** — CC BY 4.0, so credit
+  auxfirst and link back.
+- **Reselling a teardown** — no; teardown content is CC BY-NC 4.0.
