License

Scriptorium is dual-licensed by category.

Code — MIT

All source code, tests, schemas, scripts, and configuration files in the repository are licensed under the MIT License. Use it freely, including commercially, with attribution preserved in the LICENSE file.

Documentation and knowledge layer — CC BY 4.0

The prose content of the repository is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

This covers:

• The docs/ site you’re reading now.
• The knowledge/ evidence base.
• Top-level prose files: README.md, DESIGN.md, INSTALL.md, CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Per-skill README.md files.

You may share, adapt, and build on this content for any purpose — including commercial use — provided you give appropriate credit, link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Citing knowledge documents

<Document title> — Scriptorium knowledge layer.
https://github.com/seandavi/scriptorium/blob/main/knowledge/<path>.md
Licensed CC BY 4.0.

The primary literature referenced inside each knowledge document carries its own publisher licensing — those works are cited, not redistributed.

Why dual-licensed

MIT is the convention for code; CC BY is the convention for prose. They compose cleanly: a downstream project may reuse skills (MIT) and quote knowledge-document framings (CC BY with attribution) without ambiguity over which license applies to which artifact.

The full text of both licenses ships in the repo: LICENSE (MIT) and LICENSE-DOCS (CC BY 4.0 pointer + attribution guidance).
