Copyright (c) 2026 Mathieu Gosbee
This license governs use of the RemoteMedia SDK source code, binaries, examples, documentation, models, configuration files, pipeline definitions, and related materials made available in this repository, unless a file or directory clearly states that it is governed by a different license.
RemoteMedia SDK is source-available software. It is not licensed as open source software.
RemoteMedia SDK is made available so that individuals, researchers, students, small teams, startups, and small organizations can study, evaluate, modify, and use the software without needing a paid commercial agreement.
Larger commercial organizations, hosted-service operators, OEMs, redistributors, and companies embedding RemoteMedia SDK into commercial products must obtain a separate commercial license.
"Software" means the RemoteMedia SDK source code, binaries, examples, documentation, manifests, pipeline definitions, tests, and related materials provided by the Licensor.
"Licensor" means Mathieu Gosbee, operating as the copyright holder of RemoteMedia SDK.
"You" means the individual or legal entity exercising rights under this license.
"Organization" means the company, institution, partnership, government body, non-profit, foundation, or other legal entity on whose behalf the Software is used.
"Revenue" means total gross revenue earned by an Organization and its affiliates from products, services, and operations during the most recently completed fiscal year, before expenses.
Investment funding, venture capital, loans, grants, donations, capital contributions, and similar non-operational sources of capital are not Revenue for purposes of this license.
"Affiliate" means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another entity.
"Production Use" means use of the Software in a deployed system, product, service, workflow, internal business process, customer-facing system, hosted service, embedded device, commercial demo, paid pilot, or operational environment.
"Hosted Service" means any network-accessible service, API, platform, agent, pipeline runtime, media-processing service, inference system, cloud service, developer tool, automation service, or managed service that uses the Software to provide value to third parties.
"Competing Service" means any product, hosted service, SDK, framework, runtime, platform, or commercial offering that:
(a) is the Software, a modified or derivative version of the Software, or a substantial portion of the Software, made available to third parties as a paid product or commercial service; or
(b) is substantially derived from the Software and provides the Software's core functionality — namely, real-time media pipeline orchestration, multi-runtime media processing, or media-pipeline SDK or runtime capabilities — as the primary value of the offering to third parties.
Building a product, application, or service that internally uses the Software to deliver end-user value (for example, a voice assistant, a transcription application, a customer service agent, an avatar product, a media-processing application, or any other end-user product or service) is not a Competing Service, even if such product, application, or service processes real-time audio, video, or other media. Such uses remain subject to the other terms of this license, including the Revenue threshold and Hosted Service provisions in Sections 3 and 4.
Subject to this license, you may use, copy, study, modify, build, and run the Software without a paid commercial license only if all of the following are true:
