Splash and Credits (Community)

Community (unlicensed) builds must show Walnut branding. Commercial builds (valid signed license) omit it. See licensing.md.

Splash

• Shown after the system launch screen, before the first TEA view.
• Host-owned: non-skippable by app code; ~2s minimum.
• Mark (grey shell, gold core) + Built with / Walnut.

Credits

• Corner mark (same logo) on Community hosts — tap opens a sheet.
• Sheet: mark, Built with / Walnut, link to walnutlang.com.
• Commercial builds omit the splash, the corner mark, and the sheet.

Edition is chosen at compile time (Community vs Commercial license), not with an environment variable.

Trying it

brew install walnutlang/tap/walnut
walnut login
walnut new HelloApp
walnut simulator HelloApp

With a Commercial license (walnut license login --org <slug>), splash and credits stay off.

Limits

Honest-effort branding, not DRM. Removing splash from a patched Community binary is possible; the license gate is for legitimate Commercial customers.
