# 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](./LICENSE-KOSMIC.md)** (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](./LICENSE-KOSMIC.md) | 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](./LICENSE-KOSMIC-DRAFT-1.1.md) | A proposal for increasing legal enforceability while preserving spiritual intent. |
|
|
|
|

## 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.
