+The Core PHP Framework packages (host-uk/core, host-uk/core-admin,

+namespace are licensed under the European Union Public Licence v1.2
+(EUPL-1.2).

+2. APPLICATION CODE EXCEPTION
+-----------------------------
+
+As the copyright holder, we grant the following additional permission:
+
+Code you create within the following directories is EXEMPT from the
+EUPL-1.2 copyleft requirements and may be licensed under any terms
+you choose (including proprietary licenses):
+
+    app/Mod/          - Your feature modules
+    app/Website/      - Your website/domain modules
+    app/Service/      - Your service classes

+
+    - Modified copies of Core framework code
+    - Code that extends or overrides the `Core\` namespace
+    - Derivative works of the Core framework itself
+
+
+3. CORE NAMESPACE MODIFICATIONS
+-------------------------------
+
+If you create local overrides or extensions within the `Core\` namespace
+(e.g., in `app/Core/`), those modifications ARE subject to EUPL-1.2 and
+its copyleft requirements.
+
+We encourage you to submit such modifications as pull requests to:
+https://github.com/host-uk/core-php
+
+This requirement constitutes the consideration for the license grant
+herein. The Core PHP Framework is not provided without cost; rather,
+the license fee is paid in kind through the contribution of improvements
+to the community. By using this software, you acknowledge and agree that
+modifications to the Core\ namespace shall be made available to the
+community under the same terms, ensuring that all users benefit from
+collective improvements. This reciprocal obligation is a fundamental
+condition of the license grant and not merely a request.
