Licensing the IAOM Work
Free for academic, individual, and small-business use.
The Institute's work is published into the public scholarly commons. We humbly thank the collective intelligence of humanity for the technology and culture we cherish; what we publish is one more link in an unbroken chain of human ingenuity. Most readers owe no fee — academic researchers, students, individuals, and small businesses under USD $1,000,000 in lifetime gross revenue per Product. The small fraction of large-revenue commercial use funds the Foundation. All use is governed by the IAOM Commercial License Addendum v1; Apoth3osis Labs operates as the Foundation's hosting and technological partner.
