The Foundation's License Authority uses the applicable published eligibility criteria and license terms to guide review. Program terms define the rights granted, any applicable fees, duration, and conditions; this general policy does not create a license.
Application and decision
- Identify the license and the relevant criteria before review.
- Assess information submitted for the stated purpose and request clarification when needed.
- Record the outcome and communicate any conditions, limitations, or next steps.
Renewal and review
Renewal, amendment, complaint, and review requests are handled under the terms applicable to the license. A request does not guarantee a particular outcome.
Records and conflicts
Material decisions should be documented for appropriate accountability. If this policy summary conflicts with a specific license, service agreement, or applicable law, consult the specific terms and seek qualified advice as appropriate.
