Vernacula ships as three projects with two distinct licenses, plus third-party model weights under their own terms.
| Project | Description | License |
|---|---|---|
Vernacula.Base |

Vernacula.CLI |
Command-line transcription tool | MIT |
Vernacula.Avalonia |
Desktop GUI app (Vernacula-Desktop) | PolyForm Shield 1.0.0 |
PolyForm Shield 1.0.0 allows free use, modification, and distribution of Vernacula.Avalonia — with one restriction: you may not use it to build a product that competes with Vernacula-Desktop itself. The full license text is canonical; this summary is informational only.
Model weights are distributed separately through HuggingFace and carry their own licenses. See each repository linked from Models for terms.
