🛡️ What is RCF?

RCF (Restricted Correlation Framework) is an author-defined licensing protocol designed to protect intellectual property in the age of automated extraction and AI/ML mass replication. RCF-protected works are subject to protection under the Berne Convention and national copyright laws. The RCF-PL v2.0.6 license serves as a conditional grant of visibility rights. It creates a clear legal and technical boundary between Visibility and Usage Rights.

Core Principle: Visibility ≠ Rights

Action	Status	Description
👀 Visibility	✅ ALLOWED	Reading, studying, and auditing the code or methodology.
🚀 Usage	❌ RESTRICTED	Implementing, replicating, or automating extraction.

---

❓ Why RCF?

Traditional open-source licenses fail to protect against modern threats. RCF provides a modular "Defense in Depth" approach:

• 🤖 AI/ML Resistance: Explicitly blocks unauthorized training on proprietary methodologies.
• 🕷️ Anti-Extraction: Prevents automated harvesting of correlation logic.
• Visible Source: Allows manual audit and study (unlike closed source).
• ⚡ Self-Enforcing: Rights terminate automatically upon violation.

🏷️ Marker Quick Reference

RCF use semantic markers to define protection levels at the block or file level:

• [RCF:PUBLIC] — Architecture and public concepts. Safe to discuss.
• [RCF:PROTECTED] — Core methodology. Visible but not replicable.
• [RCF:RESTRICTED] — Highly sensitive implementation. Minimal rights.
• [RCF:NOTICE] — Triggers requirement for adjacent legal notice.

💎 RCF Business Models

RCF enables new paradigms for monetization and asset protection while maintaining ecosystem openness.

1. Protected Core — Open Edge

The "Protected Core — Open Edge" model allows you to distribute open, accessible tools while monetizing the execution engine:

• Open SDK ([RCF:PUBLIC]): Provide a free, open-source SDK for developers to build extensions, plugins, or integrations (e.g., smart home plugins).
• Protected Core ([RCF:RESTRICTED]): The core execution engine (e.g., A-VM) remains restricted. To run the extensions quickly and securely, users or enterprise clients must purchase License Keys for the restricted core.

2. RCF-Audit as a Service

Independent developers and small studios are vulnerable to IP theft and unauthorized AI extraction. RCF-Audit as a Service lets you act as a protection consultant:

• Offer: "AI is extracting your code. We will implement the RCF-protocol, mark your proprietary assets, and provide cryptographic audit capabilities."
• Action: Use the rcf-cli audit tool to generate an immutable RCF-AUDIT-REPORT.json containing SHA-256 hashes of all protected methodologies, creating a verifiable snapshot of ownership.

Pricing:

• RCF-Audit Personal: $19 (one-time per project)
• RCF-Audit Professional: $99/year (unlimited)

Visit aliyev.site/rcf to obtain a license.

Note: The audit command is a Premium Feature that requires an RCF-AUDIT License Key.

🚀 Quick Start

For Project Authors (Adopting RCF)

1. Setup: Copy template files from IMPLEMENTATION/TEMPLATES/.
2. Define: Identify core methodologies in your code.
3. Mark: Annotate blocks with RCF markers. See CODE-MARKERS.md.
4. Deploy: include NOTICE.md in your repository root.

For Decentralized Systems (dOS)

RCF is specialized for dOS environments (like Aurora Access). See the dOS Adoption Guide for kernel-level implementation examples.

🛠️ RCF CLI Tools (NPM & PyPI)

We provide official Command Line Interfaces to verify compliance in your projects, available in both TypeScript/Node.js and Python ecosystems.

🟨 Node.js (NPM)

Install the TypeScript/JavaScript package globally to use the CLI from anywhere:

npm install -g rcf-protocol

Or use it instantly via npx:

npx rcf-cli .

🐍 Python (PyPI)

Install the Python SDK globally or in your virtual environment:

pip install rcf-cli

🚀 Usage

# Initialize RCF protections in your project (generates NOTICE.md & .rcfignore)
rcf-cli init --project "MyApp" --author "Your Name"

# Scan a directory for RCF compliance
rcf-cli .

# Generate a premium RCF-Audit cryptographic report (Requires License Key)
rcf-cli audit . --license-key RCF-AUDIT-XXXXXX
# Or via environment variable:
# RCF_LICENSE_KEY=RCF-AUDIT-XXXXXX rcf-cli audit .

# Verify project integrity against the audit report (Detects tampering)
rcf-cli verify .

# Generate a JSON report
rcf-cli . --format json

# Show summary only  
rcf-cli . --summary
