Open Source — No License Required

mycontext-ai is fully open source under the MIT license. All 88 cognitive patterns — core and advanced — ship in every pip install mycontext-ai, run offline with your own LLM API key, and require no license key and no activation.

# Every pattern imports and runs directly — no activation step
from mycontext.templates.enterprise.decision import DecisionFramework

result = DecisionFramework().execute(
    provider="openai",
    decision="Should we expand to Southeast Asia next year?",
)

Folder names are taxonomy only

The SDK still groups patterns under mycontext.templates.free.* and mycontext.templates.enterprise.*. These are organizational namespaces, not access tiers — both ship in the package and both are free to use.

Migrating from the old license API

Earlier releases gated the advanced patterns behind a license key. That gating has been removed. The following functions are kept as deprecated no-op shims for one release so existing imports do not break — they now emit a DeprecationWarning and otherwise do nothing useful:

Function	Old behavior	Now
`mycontext.activate_license(key)`	Stored a key, unlocked patterns	No-op, returns `True`, warns
`mycontext.deactivate_license()`	Removed the key	No-op, warns
`mycontext.is_enterprise_active()`	Reported license status	Always returns `True`, warns

Action required: delete any activate_license(...) / is_enterprise_active() calls from your code. The include_enterprise argument that some intelligence functions accepted is also ignored — all patterns are always available.

# Before
import mycontext
mycontext.activate_license("MC-ENT-...")
response, meta = smart_execute("Analyze this...", include_enterprise=True)

# After
from mycontext.intelligence import smart_execute
response, meta = smart_execute("Analyze this...")  # all 88 patterns considered

These shims will be removed in a future release — migrate now.
