## Data and license

- License: tldraw license (SDK, source-available) (https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/LICENSE.md); covers tldraw SDK: free only in development; production needs a trial, commercial or hobby license key (hobby keeps the 'made with tldraw' watermark). Terms for drawings made on tldraw.com were not readable.
- Commercial use with conditions
- Credit depends on the item
- Embedding with conditions
- Quote (commercial): "Commercial licenses remove the watermark and are required for any commercial use in production." (https://tldraw.dev/sdk-features/license-key)
- Quote (license_dev): "Use the Software in Development Environments." (https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/LICENSE.md)
- Quote (license_prod): "Not to use the Software in Production Environments." (https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/LICENSE.md)
- Quote (license_key): "In production (HTTPS on a non-loopback domain with `NODE_ENV=production`), the SDK requires a valid license key." (https://tldraw.dev/sdk-features/license-key)
- Quote (no_key): "Without one, the SDK logs errors to the console and, after five seconds, stops rendering the editor." (https://tldraw.dev/sdk-features/license-key)
- Quote (attribution): "Hobby licenses keep the "made with tldraw" watermark visible." (https://tldraw.dev/sdk-features/license-key)
- Quote (embed): "The SDK will work in production only when provided with a valid and active license key." (https://tldraw.dev/community/license)
- Quote (source_available): "It is source available on GitHub. The SDK is commercially licensed." (https://tldraw.dev/faq)
- Quote (telemetry): "The Software may collect and transmit usage data to tldraw for license compliance purposes." (https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/LICENSE.md)

## Rules for an agent

- Official npm package 'tldraw' (start with 'npm create tldraw@latest'); source is on GitHub (github.com/tldraw/tldraw) but under the source-available tldraw license, not open source: free in development, while any production deploy needs a license key (trial 100 days, commercial, or hobby with watermark) or the editor stops rendering; tldraw sync is a self-hostable collaboration backend.
- Do not ship the SDK to production without a valid license key
- Commercial production use needs a commercial license; hobby licenses must keep the 'made with tldraw' watermark
- Do not describe the SDK as open source; it is source-available
