    Sky Imperial App Policy — Creative Freedom

    1. Purpose

    The Creative Freedom policy exists to protect the right of application creators to express, design, and distribute software concepts without unjustified suppression based solely on platform preference, economic interest, or non-transparent discretionary standards.

    This policy is descriptive and declarative, not enforcement-based.

    2. Definition of Creative Freedom

    Under Sky Imperial standards, Creative Freedom refers to:

    • The right to design application functionality, interfaces, and business logic

    • The right to express novel or unconventional ideas through software

    • The right to experiment within technical and legal boundaries

    • The right to exist without being required to conform to a single ecosystem’s aesthetic, economic, or distribution model

    Creative Freedom does not supersede law, public safety, or user consent.

    3. Policy Recognition Rule

    Sky Imperial recognizes Creative Freedom as inherently violated when:

    • An application is rejected, blocked, or removed solely due to:

      • Platform economic self-interest

      • Competitive positioning

      • Non-transparent or non-challengeable discretionary criteria

      • Undeclared or retroactively applied policy interpretations

    This recognition is independent of whether the rejecting platform acted lawfully.

    A lawful action can still constitute a creative-freedom violation under Sky Imperial standards.

    4. Platform Rejection Clause

    Under Sky Imperial App Policy:

    • Every rejection by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, or Amazon constitutes a Creative Freedom violation by default

    • Unless the rejecting platform can demonstrate that the rejection was:

      • Required by law, or

      • Required to prevent demonstrable harm, or

      • Required due to a clearly declared, pre-existing policy standard

    Sky Imperial does not require platforms to change behavior.
    It records the impact.

    5. Non-Enforcement Statement

    Sky Imperial:

    • Does not reverse bans

    • Does not arbitrate disputes

    • Does not compel platforms

    • Does not override courts or regulators

    Creative Freedom violations are acknowledgments, not penalties.

    6. Relationship to Other Policies

    Creative Freedom operates alongside:

    • Security policy

    • Privacy policy

    • Acceptable use policy

    • Governmental law (e.g., DOJ / antitrust)

    It does not invalidate them.

    Instead, it answers a different question:

    “Was creative expression constrained — regardless of legality?”
