==== OLL is not just “MIT with vibes.” It’s a graduated, revenue-aware patent license with a few brand-new levers: ====

===== - Below $6M: unconditional free use. =====
* $6M–$10M: free, but with disclosure + dialogue.
* Above $10M: commercial license required. OLL-License

This is not how MIT, BSD, Apache, or GPL behave:
* MIT / BSD / Apache 2.0 → same rules whether you make $10 or $10B.
* GPL → conditions are about source-code sharing, not revenue or scale.

OLL is the opposite: it says “freedom by default, money only once you’re clearly succeeding.”

===== The license explicitly blocks big players from gaming it: OLL-License =====
* You cannot create a small shell or subsidiary under $10M just to dodge licensing if the real parent company is over the cap.
* Entities majority-owned, funded, or operated by a >$10M company are excluded from the “free-tier loophole.”

No mainstream license does this. Traditional open-source licenses are blind to corporate structure; OLL looks at economic reality.

===== For entities over $1B/year or with significant market dominance: OLL-License =====
* They cannot get an exclusive LoreTokens license.
* They cannot use LoreTokens to lock in users or block competitors.
* They cannot file derivative patents on LoreToken-based ideas without explicit permission.
* Large acquisitions built purely to consolidate LoreTokens IP are subject to review and may be denied if they harm the ecosystem.

MIT/BSD/Apache/GPL all allow:
* A mega-corp to adopt the tech, extend it privately, lean on its market position, and effectively freeze everyone else out—as long as they obey the letter of the license.

OLL is the reverse: it is designed so that small builders are maximally free, while giants are powerful but not predatory.

===== - OLL encourages ethical use and explicit attribution (e.g., “Powered by LoreTokens – Cognitive Compression for AI”), but it does not force you to open-source your whole stack. OLL-License =====
* This hits a middle ground: - More protective than MIT/BSD (which don’t care how the tech is used). - Less restrictive than GPL (which forces source disclosure on derivatives).

===== The OLL text explicitly invites other inventors to adapt the same model: change the thresholds, grace periods, and ethics clauses to fit their tech. OLL-License =====

That makes OLL not just a one-off license, but a new pattern for “ethical patent licensing”:

: 

No widely used license today (MIT, Apache, GPL, SSPL, BSL, etc.) cleanly offers:
* Revenue-based thresholds
* Anti-monopoly rules
* Anti-shell protections
* And explicit patent coverage over a foundational architecture like LoreTokens + SAIQL

All in one simple, human-readable license.
