AegisGenera is a layered system. Each layer has its own license. This page documents all of them -- clearly, completely, without ambiguity -- because regulated buyers need to know exactly what runs in their environment before procurement begins.
These components are open source. Their licenses govern your rights to use, modify, and distribute them. General Reasoning complies fully with all open source license obligations.
| Component | License | Notes |
|---|---|---|
