First of all, I want to make clear that the code will be open-source. It is not yet open-source and I'm willing to take that criticism so let me explain why. The reason is simple, I want to publish it with a similar license to Uniswap V3; i.e. if you want to use the code for commercial purpose you will have to wait 2-3 years from every release.

You are doing something similar like coldcard wallet, and that is NOT Open Source.
Don't make your own restricted code and put open source sticker on it, because you are deceiving customers like this.
It's even worse that you only planning to do that sometime in future, and I really don't understand why some hardware wallet manufacturers are scared of forking and potential contribution to their code.

First of all, again, the only restriction is literally taking the code and using it as-is to launch a for-profit company the next day. Furthermore, it will be time-limited, so something like 2 years from each release. Literally the same as Uniswap v3 did. And to answer the question of why, sure.

I want the code to be public so people can check it themselves and people don't have to trust in us directly.
At the same time, I genuinely don't want someone to just copy-paste the entire codebase on the 2nd day after launch and then do their own. Me and the team have spent more than a year working on this just to date and we haven't even launched, yeah I want some protection from competitors. I don't find anything wrong with that. You want to copy it for-profit? Sure, you can do that too, 2 years after the release. And I genuinely find nothing wrong with that, because besides direct for-profit uses everything else will be permitted and even for-profit use will be permitted after 2 years so where's the issue with that?

So because of that I am in discussions with lawyers to well, basically, make a license for us.

Again, this is NOT open source, so don't try to deceive people claiming it is.
Best case this can be source viewable license like common clause or something similar.

It will be very very similar to Uniswap v3 licensing https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/14569783029645-Uniswap-v3-Licensing / https://github.com/Uniswap/v3-core/blob/main/LICENSE

Is uni v3 not open source just because all the people copying their code for-profit had to wait until April 1st 2023 ? I don't think so, because everyone still copied it in the end, but that gave them time to work on a v4.

The difference, here, being, the seeds themselves are actually stored on the Ace Cards as opposed to on a piece of paper, so to the question "will you be able to recover it on Trezor etc" that mostly depends on if they will accept restoring from an NFC card, maybe not on day one, but eventually I think they will. The other question is if they are compatible with SLIP-0039; Trezor I know for a fact is, the others I don't know.

So short answer is No, I can't restore it currently with any other wallets in the market.
Thank you.

If Trezor supports NFC you should be able to restore it on a Trezor. You also have the option of using a seed phrase as opposed to Shamir which means you can restore it anywhere and you will also have the option to save Shamir directly as words if you don't want to use Ace Cards so for anyone who supports SLIP-0039 if you used words on paper you can restore it wherever you want.
