Licenses

Open source licensing is fundamental to our work. We choose licenses deliberately to protect the freedom of the software and the communities that build it.

Our approach

Code

Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0) and GNU Lesser General Public License 3.0 (LGPL 3.0) are our default licenses for software projects. We choose between them based on the specific use case and project goals.

Both licenses incentivize collaboration rather than exploitation. They ensure that improvements to our code are shared back with the community, while still allowing practical integration with other systems.

For projects where broader compatibility is essential, we may use alternative open source licenses.

Content

Written content, documentation, and creative works are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0). You’re free to share and adapt this material, provided you give appropriate credit and distribute your contributions under the same license.

Why licensing matters

Licenses aren’t just legal boilerplate—they encode values. We favour copyleft licenses because we believe openness should propagate and that those who benefit from open source should contribute back to it.

Third-party content

Our projects may include or depend on code and content from others. We respect the licenses of all third-party materials and document dependencies clearly in each project.

Questions

If you have questions about licensing for a specific project, check that project’s repository or contact us.
