Free protocol, protected intellectual property

Broad access to the safety concept does not require giving away its authorship or intellectual property.

UuLApp is intended to be available without participation fees as a child-safety protocol. The UuLApp name, concept, specification, documentation and related intellectual-property rights remain with LP Development, which has developed the project since 2009.

Principles for adoption

  • Schools and public-interest organisations should be able to evaluate and participate without a protocol participation fee.
  • Technology companies may integrate the protocol without a protocol participation fee, subject to the applicable conformance and use terms.
  • No adopter should claim to be UuLApp-enabled without implementing the required verification and interaction rules.
  • Use of the UuLApp name or marks should not imply legal compliance certification unless separately authorised.
  • The adoption licence should remain free while defining technical conformance, child-safety obligations, privacy requirements, audit rights and permitted branding.

Formal adoption terms will define technical conformance, permitted use of the UuLApp name and marks, privacy obligations and child-safety requirements.

Free safety does not mean every future course must be free

Keep the protocol and public-interest layer free; keep optional commercial education separate and transparent.

The UuLApp protocol is intended to remain free to use, and the project vision includes free core e-learning tools for participating schools and non-profit organisations. Separately, verified teachers or educational organisations may in the future offer optional free or paid courses. Purchasing education is never a condition for receiving the child-safety credential.
