# VDO.Ninja SDK licensing and ownership

Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Steve Seguin. All rights reserved except as expressly licensed below.

## SDK core: MPL-2.0

The following SDK core files are licensed by Steve Seguin under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (`MPL-2.0`):

- `vdoninja-sdk.js`
- `vdoninja-sdk.min.js`
- `vdoninja-sdk.d.ts`

The full MPL-2.0 terms are in [LICENSE](LICENSE). Distribution must preserve the applicable notices and make the MPL-covered source available as required by MPL-2.0. Distributed modifications to these files remain subject to the MPL-2.0 source-code and notice requirements. The SDK is not designated "Incompatible With Secondary Licenses," preserving MPL-2.0 compatibility with VDO.Ninja's AGPL-3.0 code.

## MIT components

The following wrappers and companion clients are licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE-MIT):

- `vdoninja-sdk-node.js`
- `vdoninja-sdk-node.d.ts`
- `webrtc-adapter.js`
- `whip-client.js`
- `whep-client.js`

The Node wrapper loads and extends the MPL-2.0 SDK core. Its MIT license applies only to the wrapper; it does not relicense the SDK core.

Files under [`demos/`](demos/) are separately licensed under [LICENSE-DEMOS](LICENSE-DEMOS). The root SDK landing-page demo (`index.html` and `style.css`) is also MIT licensed. The separately published [`@vdoninja/mcp`](https://github.com/steveseguin/ninjamcp) wrapper is MIT licensed under its own license and is not part of this SDK repository or npm package. An MIT-licensed wrapper or example does not relicense SDK core or third-party code that it loads, imports, embeds, or references.

Third-party components retain their own copyright and license notices. An express file- or directory-specific notice controls for that component.

## Steve Seguin's retained rights

Hosted-service access is separate from the software licenses, is governed by applicable Terms of Service and operational policies, and may be limited, suspended, or withdrawn by the service operator.

Alternative proprietary or commercial licensing for first-party code owned or controlled by Steve Seguin may be available only by written agreement with Steve Seguin.
