oaica 0.8.1

Patch release over 0.8.0. No catalogue, gate or entitlement changes — corrected
licence notices and current binaries.

Why 0.8.1

The 0.8.0 archives were built before the licence audit, so every download
carried an end-user licence agreement whose grant still read "one machine per
licence" (the plans cover one named user on two personal devices) and whose
editions list still claimed "oaica's own hosted models" (oaica ships no hosted
service; the oaica-* ids resolve against the gateway you point
OAICA_GATEWAY_URL at). The same build predates three defects closed since:

• control bytes from a clipboard failure could reach the TUI frame unescaped;
• the launch version check could hang on a wrapper script;
• a live trial switched off with OAICA_TRIAL was told its trial had ended.

Nothing here changes what the free tier or a licence can do — if you are on
0.8.0 the upgrade is about the notice text and those three fixes.

Verify

curl -fsSL https://github.com/sprapp-com/oaica-code/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
oaica --version   # oaica 0.8.1

Every archive is listed in SHA256SUMS and checked by the installer before it
is extracted.

OAICA_VERSION=0.8.1 pins a version; OAICA_DOWNLOAD_BASE fetches from a
mirror. oaica is free for 14 days with no activation code.

oaica 0.8.0

oaica 0.8.0 — audit closure + offline entitlements

Client changes accumulated since 0.7.0, all pinned by regression tests:

• Audit rounds 142–159 across launch, chat, agent, gateway: licence-gate
  and plan-tier probe-count correctness, terminal-safety hardening on
  every sink, scheme-word carve coverage, listing-race fixes.
• Offline entitlement claims: the client verifies the licence server's
  signed (Ed25519) claim and honours a subscription's rights offline,
  bounded by paid_through / offline_deadline.
• Version retirement floor: the licence-server /version check can retire
  builds below min_supported, alongside the existing upgrade notice.
• Pricing and licensing docs updated (BUNDLE_PRICING.md, PRICING,
  EDITIONS, LICENSING).
• Site landing page updated.

Install as usual: https://oaica.com/install.sh (or the release's own
install.sh). Requires a licence after the free 14-day trial.

oaica 0.7.0

oaica 0.7.0

The licensing release. oaica is no longer MIT, and the free/paid line has
moved.

Licensing

oaica-code is now proprietary. The upstream Ollama code keeps its MIT
licence in LICENSE and that has not changed; the oaica modifications, source
and prebuilt binary are licensed under EULA.md.

A fresh install is free for 14 days, with no activation code and no account.
Nothing is sent anywhere to start it. After the trial, the paid features need a
key (oaica activate <key>).

The free/paid line

One sentence: free is everything a launch needs to run, paid is everything
that makes it better than it has to be.

Free	Paid
local models, oaica serve	the background tier (--haiku-model)
your own endpoints and API keys	context escalation (--oversize)
the --sonnet-model subagent tier	weighted routing (--shard)
a saved --plan	the guided wizard (--wizard)
route policies that pin routing (local-first, local-only, remote-only)	policies that pick a leg for you (remote-first, auto, weighted)
your own Claude login	vendored APIs the catalog prices as paid

The free tier never expires and never needs a key. This replaces the previous
rule, under which any tier flag was paid — which put subagents behind the
paywall on a fresh install.

Fixed

• A saved --plan and the standing ~/.oaica/config.json tiers both reach a
  launch without appearing in its arguments, so neither was visible to the
  licence gate: one oaica config set haiku-model … bought the paid background
  tier permanently. Both are now resolved and judged by the same rules as the
  flags.
• The check for whether an integration reads the tier split asked the launch
  arguments for the integration's name, which never appears there. It now
  asks the runner, which is where the fact lives.

Install

curl -fsSL https://github.com/sprapp-com/oaica-code/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

The installers ask you to accept the EULA and offer to install Ollama (the
default local engine) — they never install an engine on their own.
Non-interactive installs accept with OAICA_ACCEPT_TERMS=1.
