The gap
Licenses, identity, price, and usage context live in different systems — if they exist at all.
The permission-first AI declarationv2.0 · 2026
Permission should be an API.
Every intentional AI use of a known creative asset should be able to ask, accept terms, and leave proof — in one call.

One call returns a decision, price, obligations, policy evidence, and a signed receipt.
The rationale
AI made creation instant. Permission stayed fragmented.
The failure
A model can generate in seconds while a human clearance process can take days, weeks, or never finish.
The move
Put a narrow policy-decision gateway between intent and use. Make uncertainty explicit.
The proof
Return ALLOW, DENY, or REVIEW with terms and a signed, portable evidence receipt.
Simple by design
One decision surface. Many policy sources.
IPRS Clear does not replace licensing standards. It composes their answers with identity, intended use, and budget into a decision an application can act on.

The declaration
Declare the asset
Known creative inputs should be named, not hidden in a workflow.
Ask before use
Permission belongs before generation or training, not after a dispute.
Show the terms
Price, attribution, and participation should be legible before acceptance.
Respect uncertainty
Missing or conflicting authority resolves to REVIEW, never silent permission.
Leave proof
Every decision should create portable evidence of what was asked and answered.
Build on open work
RSL and ODRL are inputs to orchestrate, not standards to rename.
Open thesis. Open contract. Managed trust.
The paper, API contract, and reference logic are designed to be inspectable. The business is the dependable hosted layer: identity, policy normalization, signed receipts, audit, security, and support.
