license: drop redundant LICENSE-ECO.md — the canonical LICENSE (Lux Ecosystem License v1.2) already covers it (descending-chain grant + commercial contact + LP-0012)

# BSD-3-Eco — the Lux Ecosystem Source License
|
||||
|
||||
**Governed by the Web3 AI Foundation ([w3a.foundation](https://w3a.foundation))**
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright (c) 2026 Lux Industries Inc., Hanzo AI Inc., Zoo Labs Foundation Inc.
|
||||
|
||||
This license covers the Proof-of-AI / Proof-of-Inference work — the Rust prover, the
|
||||
Go verifier and precompiles, and the Solidity settlement contracts — and applies
|
||||
alongside the BSD-3-Clause terms below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. BSD-3-Clause (the open base)
|
||||
|
||||
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are
|
||||
permitted provided that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Redistributions of source code retain the above copyright notice, this list of
|
||||
conditions, and the following disclaimer.
|
||||
2. Redistributions in binary form reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of
|
||||
conditions, and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other
|
||||
materials provided with the distribution.
|
||||
3. Neither the names of the copyright holders nor of their contributors may be used to
|
||||
endorse or promote derived products without specific prior written permission.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The "Eco" clause — protocol open, implementation ecosystem-bound
|
||||
|
||||
**The PROTOCOL is open.** The Proof-of-Inference scheme, the wire formats, the
|
||||
on-chain verification, the trustless relay, and the economic design are specified in
|
||||
the public papers and may be implemented by **anyone, on any EVM**, to mine AI
|
||||
independently. We want every chain to be able to verify AI work.
|
||||
|
||||
**The EXACT IMPLEMENTATIONS in this repository** (this Rust/Go/Solidity code, verbatim
|
||||
or as a derivative) are granted for **production use only on a chain that descends
|
||||
from the Lux primary network** — a sovereign L1/L2/L3 that bootstraps from and settles
|
||||
to the Lux primary network (Lux, Hanzo, Zoo, Pars, and their descendants). This keeps
|
||||
AI settlement reconciled to **one global A-Chain root**, so no proof is double-minted
|
||||
across chains, and keeps the stack composable, orthogonal, and brand-neutral.
|
||||
|
||||
This is one-and-one-way-only by design: there is exactly one global AIVM root, and the
|
||||
exact code is the canonical client of it.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. What you get
|
||||
|
||||
A chain in the ecosystem receives, as public goods:
|
||||
|
||||
- the right to mine AI on the **unified AIVM** with fair-launch AICoin issuance under
|
||||
the shared halving cap;
|
||||
- **global reconciliation** to the A-Chain root — `AIComputeRegistry` guarantees a unit
|
||||
of work mints exactly once network-wide (no cross-chain double-mint);
|
||||
- the **post-quantum trustless relay** (`AChainRootOracle`, Warp ML-DSA quorum) and the
|
||||
native **compute-proof precompile** — verified, not trusted, permissionless;
|
||||
- the white-label branding model — your chain, your brand, the same shared infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Commercial / off-ecosystem use
|
||||
|
||||
Production use of the exact implementations on a chain that does **not** descend from
|
||||
the Lux primary network requires a commercial license.
