AICL — Luhlaka Lwekunikwa Kwelayisensi Kwelokucuketfwe Kwe-AI

01 · Incazelo

AICL is the licensing and transaction layer built on top of AICR. Where AICR declares what is allowed, AICL defines how permission is actually obtained: license tiers and prices, quote and payment endpoints, signed license tokens, usage and audit logs, and revocation. It is designed to interoperate with emerging machine-payment mechanisms such as HTTP 402 flows and pay-per-crawl schemes, with agentic payment kept inside human-approved budgets and audit trails. Content License ⇏ Agent Action Authority, and the reverse also holds — valid Agent Authority (AADP) ⇏ Content License: an AICL credential proves content-use permission, not a general Agent authorization token.

02 · Inhloso

• Guculani imimemetelo yemalungelo ibe imakethe yelayisensi lesebentako esikhundleni sewebhu lelinani lelilodwa levulekile/lelivaliwe.
• Hlelisisa indlela lehambako emkatsini wemishini: tfola umtsetfo → cela intengo → layisensi → sebentisa → hlola.
• Gcina inkhokhelo yema-ejenti inemikhawulo: tibhajethi, imikhawulo yemvumo, emathokheni labotjelwe kusicelo, tirekhodi tekuhlolwa letigcwele.
• Nika bahlinzeki belokucuketfwe indlela yekutfola inkhokhelo ngale kokuvala ema-sayithi abo ku-AI.

• Lesisayithi asikwati sango lenkhokhelo; emalayisensi ekuhweba etsintfana ngekutsintfana ku-v0.1.
• I-AICL siphakamiso seliphrothokholi — ayicinisekisi kutsi tinkampani te-AI titakhokha.
• Kuhambisana kwenkhokhelo, tintela, kanye nemtsetfo wetimali kungale kwesikhala saleli drafti.
• Emafomethi ethokheni kanye nemchazo we-endpoint kusahlolwa futsi kungaguculwa.
• v0.1.1: an AICL license credential must not be interpreted as a general Agent authorization token, and a valid OAuth/MCP/AADP credential must not be interpreted as an automatic content-use license.
