Cosmos SDK has a permissive file on record. That is not a cleared export. Non-commercial or demo use does not remove the licence duty. When in doubt, link — do not copy.
Use
- Studying a sovereign-chain architecture
- A prototype only after you can name who runs validators
Do not use for
- A shared-security claim the paper does not make
- A token launch
Risks
- You inherit a validator set, upgrades, and a chain you must operate.
- Sovereign chains do not share security with a parent unless a different design says so.
Reviews required
- Whether you need a chain at all
- Validator and upgrade ownership
