Does purchasing a licence make someone a shareholder?
No. A commercial licence confers specified use rights. A share is a legally issued financial security with distinct rights and obligations. Contributor royalties are different again. The BTG architecture intentionally keeps them separate.
Three different legal transactions may concern one asset.
A U-class commercial licence specifies what an authorized customer may execute or access. An A-class assignment or defined contractual economic arrangement concerns the exact property or proceeds described in its instrument and requires supporting legal authority. An I-class investment interest depends on a lawful issuer and legally valid securities or other eligible instruments. A contributor entitlement to some licensing receipts is yet another contractual relationship. These interests must not be blended into a generic 'coin' or ownership label.
What an investor must be told.
An issuer disclosure must identify the actual issuer, security rights, governance, obligations, risks, dilution, restrictions, applicable jurisdiction and supporting registers. Buying an eligible financial interest never automatically grants the investor permission to inspect a private dataset or copy an invention's code. No investment offering or trading status should be inferred from a DCO candidate identifier.
The answer above preserves the original whitepaper text; this additional explanation is interpretive guidance, not a new claim of certification, legal authority or commercial launch.
