SoAI is source-available software supplied and licensed by Roberto Martini, an individual established in Italy. Summaries on this page do not replace the controlling documents.
Current availability
SoAI Core is currently available only for Personal Use and the separate review, benchmarking, teaching, and reporting permission described below. Commercial licenses, organization evaluations, and SoAI OS licenses are not currently being issued and are temporarily unavailable. Companies and organizations may contact info@soai.to for licensing information or to join the waitlist for future availability. Joining the waitlist grants no license and does not guarantee an availability date.
Personal use
SoAI Core is free for a natural person’s genuine Personal Use as the license defines it, including private household, educational, and learning use. It needs no product key and has no deployment limit. Professional learning remains personal only when it does not use an employer’s or client’s tasks, data, systems, or outputs. Incidental donations or advertising alone do not change a genuinely personal project into organization use.
Work for an employer, client, sole-trader business, nonprofit, school, public body, or other organization is not personal use. Personal rights do not permit redistribution, sublicensing, or offering SoAI or a substantially complete fork as a product.
Reviewing, benchmarking, teaching with, or writing about SoAI Core is separate and needs no entitlement. A journalist, reviewer, publication, benchmarker, researcher, educator, or student may install and run SoAI Core for as long as reasonably needed to test it, measure it, compare it against other software, or publish what they find, including unfavourable findings, on their own machine or one their employer or institution operates for that purpose. No request, approval, registration, or notice is required, and nothing is conditioned on a positive result. It authorizes no ordinary business operations, redistribution, or SoAI OS right.
SoAI OS uses a separate licensing framework and private distribution channel. It is never distributed through the public SoAI Core repository.
Source licensing
Only numbered immutable public releases are official. An exact Core version changes to the MIT License four years after its first official public release; later Core versions do not change early. SoAI OS has no automatic Change Date.
The bundled .soaiplugin packages and the SoAI Connect Android client are MIT-licensed from their first
release, separately from SoAI Core and without waiting for a Change Date, so they may be freely inspected, copied,
modified, and redistributed, including as a starting point for your own plugins or your own client. That grant
covers those first-party sources only. It carries no SoAI trademark right and does not by itself permit running or
distributing SoAI Core, and each managed inference engine and third-party library remains under its own license.
