 ## [Unreleased]
 
+
+### Licensing
+
+- Relicense Dinglebear-owned original work under AGPL-3.0-only and document separate commercial licensing; third-party material retains its original terms.
+
 ## [0.1.1] — 2026-06-01
 
 ### Changed
 
+
 - Plugin `SessionStart`/`ConfigChange` hooks now call `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/runifi setup plugin-hook` directly instead of going through the `plugin-setup.sh` shell wrapper. The env-var mapping the script performed (`CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_*` → `UNIFI_*`, plus `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA` → `UNIFI_MCP_HOME`) now lives in `apply_plugin_options()` in `src/setup.rs`, applied at the top of the plugin-hook path. The script's `.env`-fallback was dropped (immaterial: the binary never persists option values to `.env` and the setup checks read live process env).
 
 ### Removed

+# Commercial Licensing
+
+No commercial license is granted by this file.
+
+The original portions of runifi owned or controlled by Dinglebear AI are available under separately negotiated commercial terms. Those terms may permit use without the source-disclosure and copyleft obligations of AGPL-3.0-only.
+
+A commercial agreement covers only Dinglebear-owned rights. Third-party code, dependencies, trademarks, data, artwork, and separately licensed files remain subject to their original terms.
+
+To request terms, contact Dinglebear AI through this repository's GitHub contact channels and identify the intended product, deployment model, distribution method, and support needs.

+# Licensing
+
+## Open-source license
+
+Except for third-party material and files carrying a separate license or copyright notice, the original software in runifi authored by Jacob Magar or Dinglebear AI is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3.0 only (SPDX: AGPL-3.0-only). The complete terms are in LICENSE.
+
+This applies to revisions containing this notice. Earlier revisions remain available under the licenses under which they were originally published; those earlier grants are not revoked.
+
+## Commercial licensing
+
+Dinglebear-owned portions are also available under separate written commercial terms for organizations that need terms outside the AGPL. See COMMERCIAL-LICENSING.md.
+
+Commercial terms cover only copyrights owned or controlled by Dinglebear AI. They do not relicense third-party code, dependencies, trademarks, data, artwork, or separately licensed material.
+
+## Third-party material
+
+Files and directories containing their own license, copyright notice, or upstream attribution remain under those original terms. Dependencies are licensed by their respective authors.
+
+## Contributions
+
+External code contributions must not be merged until Dinglebear AI has a contributor agreement or another documented grant permitting both AGPL and commercial distribution. Issues, bug reports, and suggestions do not transfer copyright.
