Models and Hub artifacts
Weights, adapters, and GGUF files published on Hugging Face are not the AGPL source tree. Each Hub card states the applicable model license and base-model terms. Crucible only downloads and runs what you configure; Tuned produces fine-tunes under those upstream constraints.
Commercial license
Tuned Chaos offers a commercial license for organizations that need to redistribute or embed ChaosNexus (or derivatives) in proprietary products without AGPL obligations.
Typical fit:
- Shipping ChaosNexus inside a closed-source appliance or SaaS control plane
- OEM / white-label redistribution
- Enterprises with policies that cannot accept AGPL for their distribution model

AGPL community use remains free. Commercial licensing funds continued open development.
