License

sprig and prose are meant to be read, explored, and used freely.
These licenses exist to make that intent explicit—not to add friction.


sprig (the tooling)

The sprig tooling—including the CLI, UI, validators, and supporting packages—is open source.

License: MIT License

You are free to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of sprig, provided you include the copyright notice and license text.

The full MIT license text is available separately.


prose (the language)

The prose language (its syntax and concepts) is free to use.

You may write, publish, and share prose files for any purpose—personal, educational, or commercial—without needing special permission.


Documentation & examples

Unless otherwise noted, sprig-and-prose.io documentation and examples are licensed under:

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0)

This means you may copy, redistribute, and adapt the material for any purpose, including commercially, as long as you provide attribution.


Your content

Universes, scenes, and other content authored by you (or your team) remain yours.
sprig does not claim ownership or licensing rights over user-authored content.


What this does not mean

  • Using sprig does not grant rights to third-party trademarks, datasets, or proprietary systems.
  • References inside a universe (repos, URLs, paths) remain subject to their original licenses and terms.
  • Licenses apply only to the software and materials covered above.

If you’re unsure how these licenses apply to a specific use case, you’re encouraged to read them in full or reach out. The intent is openness and clarity—not restriction.
