A Family of Modern, Plain‐Language, NonCommercial Licenses The Haras License Suite is a family of plain‐language licenses that are non‐commercial by default, inspired by Blue Oak Model License and Blue Oak Contributor License. Features Plain Language The license texts use plain language and short sentences wherever possible. They aim to remain understandable to creators, contributors, and users without requiring legal expertise, while preserving the legal effect of traditional license terms. Broad Permissions The license texts grant permissions through broad and concise terms rather than long lists of individual rights. Each grant covers all contributions to the work—present and future. Companion Contributor License Each Public license in the suite is paired with a Contributor license. Together they provide a straightforward framework for accepting contributions while ensuring that contributors retain ownership of their work and grant the permissions necessary for the project to use, distribute, and maintain it. Lightweight Attribution Attribution requirements are minimized wherever legally permissible. When attribution is required, it is stated explicitly and kept simple—no complex conditions, no chained obligations, and no burdensome compliance requirements for downstream users. An automatic cure provision allows licensees who fall short to correct the failure within 30 days of the notice before losing their license. Legal Certainty Most common licenses leave open a key question: whether they constitute a bare license, a contract, or both. The Public licenses resolve this explicitly— their terms are both conditions of the license and obligations under an agreement. This clarifies what contributors can enforce and ensures the license cannot be quietly disregarded. NonCommercial by Default All Public licenses restrict use to non‐commercial purposes. This allows authors to share their work openly while retaining control over commercial exploitation. Users seeking commercial rights must obtain a separate arrangement with the steward.

Cover image for Building a Scalable Education Partnership
Building a Scalable Education Partnership Model Driving £500k+ in Revenue Overview This project focused on designing and scaling a strategic partnership model within the education sector to create apprenticeship pathways while driving commercial growth. The objective was to align educational institutions with a technology provider in a way that delivered long-term value for both parties, rather than a one-off transactional relationship. The Challenge Education institutions often face barriers when adopting new technologies, including cost, integration, and demonstrating long-term value. At the same time, traditional sales approaches were not sufficient to drive adoption at scale. A more strategic, partnership-led model was required to: Create meaningful value for institutions Support skills development through apprenticeships Enable sustainable commercial growth Approach I designed a partnership framework that aligned commercial, educational, and operational value. This included: -Structuring partnerships around apprenticeship opportunities, creating a clear and compelling entry point for institutions -Positioning the offering as a long-term capability investment, not just a product sale -Designing a repeatable partnership model that could be adapted across multiple institutions -Tailoring each partnership to reflect the specific priorities and decision-making structures of each organisation Execution The model was initially implemented with Manchester College, where we: -Established apprenticeship pathways linked to immersive technology -Delivered a VR training environment, including hardware, learning modules, and accreditation -Created a structured framework that balanced institutional needs with commercial outcomes Following this, I refined and extended the model to: -Regent’s College London -Loughborough University -Each partnership was adapted to suit the institution while maintaining a consistent underlying structure, enabling scalability without losing relevance. Impact -Contributed to over £500,000 in VR system sales across partner institutions -Established long-term strategic partnerships rather than one-off transactions -Created a repeatable model for future education partnerships -Strengthened positioning within the education sector through value-led collaboration Additional Notes Due to client confidentiality and NDAs, detailed internal strategies and commercial agreements cannot be shared. This portfolio reflects my approach, structure, and key outcomes.
