## Part II — Voluntary Covenant Economics Layer
*Same as WCL-1.1 Part II — see WCL-1.1.md.*

## Part III — Dissolution Fail-Safe (WCL-1.0 only)
If WellSpr.ing ceases operations as defined below, all WCL-licensed software automatically reverts to standard MIT license terms, removing all covenant obligations.
**WCL-1.1 note:** This dissolution clause is removed in WCL-1.1, replaced by a federated node architecture. WCL-1.1 supersedes this clause for all future releases.
