Information is not owned. It is a shared, living legacy passed down through
generations, built by the collective efforts of humanity. Every piece of knowledge,
every line of code, every insight, and every discovery contributes to the collective
growth of all people. This software exists because of the work and ideas of countless
individuals, communities, and cultures, and it is our shared responsibility to ensure
it remains free, accessible, and unowned.
We reject the notion of ownership over information, software, or ideas. No one person,
company, or state has the right to claim what was never theirs in the first place. The digital
world is a part of the human legacy, and it belongs to everyone, regardless of where they
are or who they are.
By using, sharing, and contributing to this software, you are embracing the idea that
information, like air, should be free—never locked behind proprietary walls or exploited
for profit. Together, we can break the chains of ownership and control over knowledge, and
allow it to flow freely for the benefit of all.
-
Freedom to Use
You are free to use this software for any purpose, without restriction or barrier.
Information, and the tools built from it, belong to no one. It is meant to be used
by everyone, to empower individuals and communities in their pursuit of freedom
and knowledge. -
Freedom to Modify
You are free to modify, improve, or adapt this software in any way you see fit.
Just as knowledge evolves and grows, so too should software. You may freely create
derivative works and share them with others, knowing that the work you do is part of
the greater collective knowledge and legacy of humanity. -
Freedom to Distribute
You are free to distribute this software, in its original or modified form, to anyone
you choose. No person or entity has the right to restrict the flow of information or to
profit from it. By distributing this software, you contribute to the ongoing legacy of
knowledge that belongs to all of us. -
No Ownership, No Copyright
This software is not and can never be owned by any individual, corporation,
or entity. The concept of ownership over information is a myth designed to concentrate
power and wealth in the hands of a few. Information is built upon the contributions of
countless individuals, and as such, it belongs to everyone. This software is free from
copyright and any other form of ownership. -
No Proprietary Software
Proprietary software, which locks information and technology behind restrictive
licenses, is incompatible with the ideals of this project. You are encouraged to share
freely, contribute openly, and build in solidarity, ensuring that the technology you help
create remains open and accessible to everyone, without exception. -
Anti-Surveillance, Anti-Exploitation
This software shall never be used to surveil, exploit, or control others. Surveillance
and exploitation of people's data are the tools of systems that profit from ownership
over information. We reject these systems and will not tolerate the use of this software
for such purposes. Information is meant to be free, not commodified or weaponized. -
Solidarity and Collective Ownership
The strength of this software, and the larger project of which it is a part, is built on
solidarity—on the shared understanding that no one is alone in the pursuit of freedom
and knowledge. The software, like information itself, does not belong to any one individual,
but is the shared property of everyone who contributes to and benefits from it. -
Removal of Barriers to Knowledge
Any attempt to restrict access to this software or its derivatives—whether through
proprietary practices, licensing fees, or the imposition of restrictions on its use—
is fundamentally incompatible with its purpose. The removal of barriers to information
is central to the mission of this software. It is free, and it always will be. -
Reject Capitalism and Exploitation
This software, and all contributions to it, are explicitly opposed to capitalist
systems that profit from the collective work of humanity. The tools we create together are
for the collective good, not for the enrichment of a few. The goal is not profit, but the
liberation of information and the empowerment of individuals and communities. -
No Warranty, No Liability
This software is provided "as-is," with no warranty of any kind. There is no
expectation of profit or gain from its use. You, the user, are responsible for how you
use it, but we make no guarantees about its functionality, availability, or safety. The
software is a gift to the collective, and you accept it as part of that gift.
By using or distributing this software, you agree to uphold the ideals that information
should never be owned or restricted. You join a larger movement that seeks to ensure the
freedom of all knowledge, ideas, and digital tools. This software is a part of the greater
human legacy—a legacy built on the work and contributions of all people. It belongs to no one,
but it belongs to everyone. You are required to redistribute this license with all copies of
this software, including any modified versions of any piece of this software or partial distributions
of said software..
Together, we will dismantle the systems of control and ownership that seek to commodify
and restrict knowledge. We will ensure that information continues to flow freely, for the
benefit of all, and for future generations. The future is open, and it is free.
