Licensing
The Thinking System library is published under AGPLv3.
Thunk (the product) is available under the Thunk License with commercial tiers. Personal use costs 1 THUNK, burned on purchase, and is unlimited.
Thunk License
Thunk costs 1 THUNK for personal, single-node use. Run one node, modify the source, and learn from the code, all for that one-time fee. Commercial use (multiple nodes or providing services to third parties) requires a Commercial License.

Token-Fixed Pricing
All licenses are priced in THUNK tokens. On-chain tier fees and caps are read from the LicensingPolicyRegistry when deployed. License grants are automated via smart contract.
License Transfer (Sell-Back)
Licenses are transferred via council-mediated sell-back — not direct peer-to-peer. Holders sell back to council for license_fee − 30%; council reissues to new buyers at full fee. Council co-signature required on all transfers.
