   Resolution

   OpenBeat will be released under the MIT License (MIT).

   • License posture: Permissive. People may use, copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, and sell OpenBeat, including in closed-source or commercial products, provided they preserve the MIT copyright and permission notice.
   • Copyright notice: Copyright © 2026 Parker Eimerl
   • Why it fits: The maintainer prioritizes straightforward community adoption and broad reuse over requiring downstream modifications to remain open. MIT expresses that intent with a small, familiar set of obligations and an explicit warranty/liability disclaimer.
   • Source provenance: The maintainer confirms that the OpenBeat source was created by Parker Eimerl (including work produced through Parker's coding tools) and was not copied or adapted from another person or project. Historical SwiftHustle and eimexdev author identities belong to the maintainer; T3 Code identifies a coding tool, not a separate human rights-holder.
   • Third-party obligations: MIT covers OpenBeat's own source only. The bundled Python runtime and dependencies retain their respective licenses, copyright notices, and any required attribution/notice files. The release implementation must inventory and preserve those materials; it must not imply that all bundled code is MIT-licensed.
   • Permitted public claims: OpenBeat may be described as “open source,” “MIT-licensed,” “free to use, modify, and redistribute,” and usable in commercial or closed-source projects subject to the MIT notice requirement. It should not be described as public domain, obligation-free, warranty-backed, officially affiliated with DaVinci Resolve/Blackmagic Design, or wholly MIT-licensed when referring to the complete installer bundle.

   Implementation is handed off to Apply the selected project license and align public metadata.
