From 6eab191cb8de21749f858c3964f41106e28bf954 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Love Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 10:15:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs(licensing): align ThreadPlane branding, add /docs/licensing landing page MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Editorial cleanup across all licensing-touching surfaces: - New /docs/licensing landing page (linked from email + footer + /thanks) - Email copy: "Thanks for subscribing" → "Thanks for your ThreadPlane license purchase"; CACHEPLANE_LICENSE → THREADPLANE_LICENSE in installation snippet; install snippet now shows provideChat() pattern (the actual API), not process.env-only - Brand: "Threadplane" → "ThreadPlane" in customer-visible copy and library NOTICE/README files - License name: always "ThreadPlane Commercial license" (capitalized) - Tense: drop "Starting with the next published version" from COMMERCIAL.md and root README — the license is live - Eval policy: precise "30 calendar days from first commercial use, good-faith, no telemetry" wording in libs/chat/COMMERCIAL-USE.md and PricingFAQ - Tier scoping: standardize "Indie" name, prefix paid features with "ThreadPlane Commercial license", drop Enterprise "starting at $10k/year" display period (was inconsistent with "Custom") - Footer "Licensing" link → /docs/licensing (was /pricing#faq) - /thanks page button → /docs/licensing (was /docs/chat/...)

+ Licensing +

+

+ How the ThreadPlane licensing model works, who needs a paid license, and how to install your license token. +

+
+ +
+ +
+ +
+

The model

+

+ Agent UI for Angular is a suite of libraries. Most are{' '} + MIT-licensed and free for any use, + commercial or not. Only @ngaf/chat is + dual-licensed. +

+

+ @ngaf/chat is source-available under{' '} + PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 for free + noncommercial use, or a ThreadPlane Commercial license{' '} + for production use inside a for-profit context. The same source ships under both — you don't get a + different build. +

+ +

Do you need a paid license?

+

+ You need a ThreadPlane Commercial license if you use @ngaf/chat{' '} + in any of: +

+
    +
  • A commercial product or SaaS
    • +
  • An internal business tool inside a for-profit company
    • +
  • An agency deliverable or paid client project
    • +
  • Any application operated by or for a for-profit entity
    • +
+

You do not need a paid license for:

+
    +
  • Personal, hobby, student, academic, or nonprofit projects
    • +
  • Public demos and tutorials
    • +
  • Open-source applications released under an OSI-approved license
    • +
  • Commercial evaluation, up to 30 calendar days from your first commercial use
    • +
+
+ +
+ +
+ +
+

Install your license

+

+ After purchase, ThreadPlane emails a signed license token to the address on your receipt. Paste it + into your app's provideChat(){' '} + configuration: +

+ 
{`// app.config.ts
+import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
+import { provideChat } from '@ngaf/chat';
+
+export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
+  providers: [
+    provideChat({
+      license: process.env['THREADPLANE_LICENSE'],
+    }),
+  ],
+};`}
+

+ The library verifies the token's Ed25519 signature on boot. The check is{' '} + advisory-only: a missing, expired, or + tampered token logs a console.warn but + never blocks rendering. Verification is fully offline; no calls leave your app at runtime. +

+

+ The token is safe to commit to a private repository, or to read from a build-time environment variable + for public repos. Public-repo demos are exempt from the commercial-use definition, but if your + public repo backs a commercial product, the deployed bundle does need a license. +

+
+ +
+ +
+ +
+

Tier scoping

+

+ Pick the tier that matches how you'll deploy. All paid tiers grant the same{' '} + ThreadPlane Commercial license; the difference is the scope of use and the number of seats. +

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TierDevelopersCommercial appsBest for
Indie — $149/yr11Solo devs, single indie product
Developer Seat — $299/dev/yrPer seatUnlimited apps owned by your orgStartups, growing teams
App Deployment — $1,499/app/yrUnlimited1 production app per licenseAgencies, CI/CD-heavy teams
Enterprise — customCustomMulti-app, custom termsProcurement, SLA, security review
+
+

+ Every license is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Renewal is a fresh annual purchase — + we don't auto-charge. +

+
+ +
+ +
+ +
+

Evaluation

+

+ You may use @ngaf/chat commercially + for 30 calendar days from your first + commercial use as a good-faith evaluation. There is no telemetry, no registration, no email check — + we trust you to count the days. After 30 days you must either purchase a license or stop the + commercial use. +

+ +

Refunds

+

+ If you refund a license through Stripe, the token is revoked automatically and we email a confirmation. + The verification check warns on boot. There's no clawback of the source code you already have — + everything is source-available under PolyForm Noncommercial by default. +

+ +

Questions

+

+ Volume pricing, multi-app licensing, audit clauses, custom terms — any of those, reach out and we'll + work it out. +
