Intentions for Open Source licensing:

  • to foster innovation to happen elsewhere
  • to avoid lock-in and monopolization
  • to credit individual contributors
  • to encourage longevity and resilience
  • to establish a moderate truck number and collective ownership
  • to contribute to the gift-economy
  • to operate out of abundance rather than scarcity

Based on the considerations:

The Sun Community Source License, supplemented with specifics about individually owned authorship, seems the most appropriate license for us to use at this moment.

Next steps:
