Licensing

Specification text

The GAA specification text is offered under the Community Specification License 1.0. You may implement and build on the specification, including commercially, on the license's terms — which include a royalty-free patent commitment among participants and a defined contribution path. The AASI wordmark is trademark-controlled and is not licensed by the specification license: a right to implement the specification is not a right in the mark.

Reference-implementation code

Reference-implementation code is not part of the specification and is not licensed by it. Reference implementations remain their authors' property under their authors' own licenses; the founder's reference implementation is licensed Apache-2.0 on its author's side. Implementing the specification does not require the use of any particular reference implementation.
