Source license

The record that an image, product copy or market dataset may be used: licensor, scope, territory, expiry, evidence. No license, or out of scope, and the asset shows 'No license on file'.

For a store, the source license is what stands behind every product image and description on its menu. BudAlly keeps a source-license ledger for images and copy, next to its consent ledger and no-scrape rule, so the right to use an asset is recorded rather than assumed.

Catalog enrichment depends on it. BudAlly uses images only with an active source license, with no web search and no stock, and drafts copy only from brand content kits and factual fields. Brands upload into their content kit once, with scope, territory and expiry, so the license travels with the asset onto retailers' menus.

The same idea covers market data. BudAlly's price figures draw on licensed market data, never on scraped menus, and under the data-use registry licensed market data is for internal analysis only and is never syndicated.
