🧭 RapidKnowHow License Model
From Use → Mastery → Partnership → Ecosystem
Licenses are not to retain people.
Licenses are to give people the right to act responsibly.
0️⃣ Design Principles (non-negotiable)
- No forced subscriptions
- No artificial scarcity
- Renewal only if value is felt
- Clear rights, clear limits
- Path to independence, not dependency
A license that traps people destroys trust.

6️⃣ Renewal Logic (critical difference)
Renewal is never automatic.
Renewal happens if:

Simple renewal questions
- Did this improve decisions?
- Did it reduce complexity or stress?
- Did it help others?
If yes → renew
If no → leave with dignity
Exit is part of trust.
