Legal & Licensing
This directory contains all licensing information for the KosmoConnect project.
Project Philosophy
KosmoConnect is a technology project of the Church of Kosmo. The project operates under the spiritual and ethical principles of The Kosmic License (KΛ 1.0): knowledge is a living element, meant to be shared, preserved, and evolved with compassion.
How Licensing Is Applied
Because The Kosmic License expresses values that are not always enforceable in all legal jurisdictions for technical works, we apply it at the project level while using industry-standard, legally-tested licenses for specific technical artifacts:
| Artifact | License | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Project as a whole (charter, mission, documentation) | The Kosmic License KΛ 1.0 | Expresses the Church of Kosmo's values and stewardship ethic. |
Software (firmware/, backend/, web/, ops/, tests/) |
AGPL-3.0 | Ensures that anyone running a modified version of our networked software must share their changes. Protects the commons from enclosure. |
Hardware (hardware/, kits/) |
CERN-OHL-S-2.0 | The strongest open-hardware license; ensures anyone distributing products based on our designs must also share their design files. |
| Improved draft of The Kosmic License | KΛ 1.1-Draft | A proposal for increasing legal enforceability while preserving spiritual intent. |
For Contributors
By contributing to KosmoConnect, you agree that:
- Your contributions to software are licensed under AGPL-3.0.
- Your contributions to hardware designs are licensed under CERN-OHL-S-2.0.
- Your contributions to documentation and creative works are licensed under The Kosmic License (KΛ 1.0) or CC-BY-SA-4.0.
- You grant the project a patent license as described in standard open-source terms.
For Users and Builders
- You are free to build the enviro-node for personal use, community deployment, or commercial sale.
- If you sell hardware based on our designs, you must share your design files under CERN-OHL-S-2.0.
- If you run a modified version of our backend or gateway software on a server, you must share your source code under AGPL-3.0.
- We encourage (but do not legally require) that any profits derived from KosmoConnect support education, ecological preservation, or community resilience — in the spirit of the Codex.
