Licensing

Project license

Focusrite Controller is licensed under the MIT License. The authoritative text is in the repository-root LICENSE. Rust metadata uses the SPDX identifier MIT; future web package metadata must do the same.

Focusrite and Scarlett remain trademarks of Focusrite Audio Engineering Limited. The project license grants no trademark rights and does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

Dependency policy

Every direct dependency added in any phase must have a reviewed license that is compatible with MIT distribution. Do not assume a dependency is MIT because it is published on a public registry.

Before distributing a binary, .deb, container, static web bundle, or source archive:

  1. inventory direct and transitive dependencies for Rust and web artifacts;
  2. review licenses, exceptions, notices, and bundled assets;
  3. include a generated THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES file in the distributed artifact when required by those licenses;
  4. explicitly review copyleft, non-commercial, source-available, or unknown licenses before accepting them.

Do not commit a static third-party notice inventory during early development: it becomes stale as lockfiles change. Generate and verify it as part of packaging in Phase 8.

Upstream patches and contributions

Preserve upstream copyright and license notices when patching or temporarily forking a dependency. Prefer upstream pull requests and released fixes over a permanent fork. Only contribute code to this repository when authorized to license that contribution under MIT.

Phase records

Each active phase execution plan records licensing decisions and dependency blockers. Update it whenever a dependency introduces a non-routine license or notice obligation.
