Open Source Licensing and Releases

Our commitment to open source extends to the software and tools we develop. We will periodically release our products and services under open source licenses, with the aim of eventually making all our work openly available. To ensure a smooth transition to open source, we may use time-based licenses, similar to Uniswap V3, before fully open sourcing our projects.

When using our open source software, please be sure to reference our Pledge to Open Source and comply with the terms of the applicable open source licenses.

Respecting Intellectual Property Rights

While we champion openness and collaboration, we also respect the rights of individuals and organizations to create private work and withhold their intellectual property. We believe that a healthy balance between open source and proprietary developments is crucial for fostering innovation and growth. In our collaborations and engagements, we will always honor and uphold the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same in return.

Community Engagement

We are committed to actively engaging with the open source community and supporting its growth and development. We will participate in forums, chats, events, and other community activities to share our knowledge, learn from others, and contribute to the advancement of open source principles and practices.

Feedback and Suggestions

We welcome feedback and suggestions from the community to help us continually improve our Open Source Culture Policy and our contributions to the open source ecosystem. Please feel free to reach out to us with your ideas and insights.

By embracing the principles and practices outlined in our Open Source Culture Policy, we aim to create a more collaborative, innovative, and inclusive future for all. We invite you to join us in this mission and help us build a better world together.
