The entry price, and what it buys

Two reviewers independently said the entry level reads as a commodity at £5 — one human partner and one invented buyer who had never met them. The answer ruled on 16 September is not a larger number for the same thing: the level goes to £10 and gains a commercial licence, which is a different product rather than a dearer one.

2 of 5 done. Status: next.

From the memo £10, a commercial licence, and a name on the review (2026-09-16) — https://store.sgit.ai/admin/memos/2026-09-16-ten-pounds-and-a-licence/↗

• PL-1 · Move the entry level from £5 to £10 — done — Shipped in v0.2.0. £10, with all three moves of the price kept on the page.
• PL-2 · Dual-licence the pack: CC BY public, commercial to the buyer — done — Shipped in v0.2.0. The public files stay CC BY; the buyer gets a commercial licence over the same material. The wording is not drafted and the ledger says so.
• PL-3 · Research the cleanest way to grant it — next — The licence is to the buyer and does not name them, which is the interesting part: a grant to an unnamed holder has to be worded so it is clearly a grant and not a public re-licence of the same bytes. Open questions: does it travel with the file or with the order reference, what happens on resale, and does it survive the buyer's company changing name.
• PL-4 · Put the licence text where the buyer reads it before paying — queued — Not in the pack, not in a footer. The difference between the free version and the paid one is now the main thing the entry level sells, so it belongs on the card and on the level page above the fold. Blocked on: PL-2.
• PL-5 · Record the price arc as one claim, not three — queued — The ledger already carries £10 → £5 with the card-fee arithmetic. Adding £5 → £10 as a separate claim would leave a reader assembling the story from three entries. One claim, three dates, all the reasoning kept. Blocked on: PL-1.
