OEM, appliance, and VPS distribution policy

Distributors may package Mobazha with services while preserving source obligations, capability boundaries, secure first run, user control, and honest branding.

Permitted distribution

An operator may package the default standalone deployment in hardware, an appliance, a VPS marketplace image, a container image, or a pre-installed server and may sell installation, hosting, support, or other identified services around it. Packaging does not silently widen the enabled capability set or create a new official Mobazha product.

Required boundaries

  • Do not include unapproved payment capabilities, provider credentials, private control-plane code, hidden support tooling, customer data, or pre-generated secrets.
  • Preserve applicable licenses, notices, corresponding-source obligations, and third-party attribution for the exact artifact.
  • Record the source commit or tag, capability manifest, SBOM, checksums, provenance, upgrade, backup, restore, reset, and export path.
  • Generate seller identity, administrator credentials, and signing material on the user's system during first-run setup.
  • Disclose update channels, signing keys, external endpoints, data handling, optional services, and how to disable them.
  • Preserve local administration, listing management, data export, and supported standalone payment operation without requiring a Mobazha Hosting account.

Branding and certification

Open-source licensing does not grant rights to Mobazha names, logos, or certification claims. Do not describe an image as Official or Mobazha Certified without separate written authorization. A future certification program may verify provenance, release material, capability boundaries, first-run security, updates, and recovery, but certification is not required to run or join the network.

Operational evidence

The code repository owns the executable source-tree and artifact checks because they must run against an exact revision and release bundle. This page owns the public distribution policy; the scripts own whether an artifact satisfies their machine-verifiable requirements.
