--- status: active version: 0.1.0 canonical: true audience: ai-agent, human last_updated: 2026-07-01 --- # AI learning policy This document explains, in prose, how AI systems may **learn from** eveglypheditor.com's written content. It follows the AIRS / AILP framework (AI Rights Spectrum / AI Learning Permission Protocol). The machine-readable form is [`../rights-spectrum.json`](../rights-spectrum.json); on any conflict, that file is authoritative for the exact per-use values. ## Spectrum, not binary AIRS's central argument is that AI rights over content should not be reduced to a single "allowed / disallowed" switch. Real preferences are more granular: a work can be freely searchable and summarizable while still being off-limits for verbatim memorization or style imitation. eveglypheditor.com's declaration reflects that granularity rather than a blanket allow or blanket block. ## Position on the spectrum The author's stance for eveglypheditor.com's written content (marketing prose, the `/ai/corpus/` corpus, and the `/ai/governance/` docs): - **Read, index, RAG, summarize — freely allowed, with attribution.** AI systems may crawl, fetch, search-index, retrieve for RAG, inject as context, and generate summaries. Short quotes are permitted. Attribution and citation are required (see [citation-policy.md](./citation-policy.md)). - **Non-commercial training and embedding — highly allowed.** Non-commercial research training, embedding generation, and embedding storage are highly allowed (0.8 by default; `1.0` under `/ai/`, which exists specifically to be learned from). - **Commercial training, fine-tuning, distillation — license required.** These uses require an explicit paid license. Contact ; see [license.md](./license.md), licensing option id `commercial-training`. - **Verbatim memorization, style imitation, long/substitutive quotation — not allowed.** The model must not memorize this content verbatim, imitate the author's writing style, reproduce long near-verbatim passages, or generate substitutive content that stands in for the original. These are `0.0`. ## Relationship to the software license This is separate from — and does not touch — the software license. EveGlyph Editor's **source code** is **MIT-licensed** (see the repository `LICENSE`) and is already broadly reusable, including for AI training, under MIT's terms. The signals in this policy and in `rights-spectrum.json` express the author's **preferences** for how AI systems learn from the site's *written content* (marketing prose, corpus, governance docs) — they are not a standalone legal license and do not restrict or narrow the MIT grant over the source code (AIRS §8.1). See [license.md](./license.md) for the full distinction. ## Declaration, not enforcement This is a **declaration layer**, not an access-control or enforcement system. It expresses declarable, readable, citable preferences. It does not block, authenticate, or technically restrict any request. Like `robots.txt`, it is a normative signal that AI systems are expected to respect.
