Currently +everything here is in early stages; things will likely remain work-in-progress +for a few decades. + +## Licensing + +We do not want to see surrounding technologies becoming patent-infested by +large coorporations and other entities that don't support and intend to +sabotage free technical development; we want things to remain free (as in +freedom), giving people the opportunity to design, produce and freely deal with +their own hardware, software, and related matters. + +Thus ultimately we want a strong copyleft license that (1) works of the nature +of work we are working on, especially CPU and architecture designs and (2) +grants patent licenses under copyleft-like terms, such that the utilization of +covered patented technology is allowed if the implementation is free. + +If the state of patent and copyright law improves in the future and production +of technology is not that monopolized, we may consider releasing this project +into the public domain. But currently that is not the case and we do not see a +copyleft license fit for our purposes, and while efforts are being made to +create such a license, license-writing is a serious legal matter requiring +lawyers and such, while we want to focus on technical development first. So +currently, to "play it safe" no permissions are granted on the work here; all +rights reserved. Please contact us if you know of an applicable license or +would otherwise help with icensing. + +## Contact + +[`#evosaur`](https://runxiyu.org/~fun/kiwiirc/kiwiirc_v1.7.1-2/#evosaur) on +[irc.runxiyu.org](https://irc.runxiyu.org) + +## Repositories + +Most repositories are currently private. We intend to put them on +[git.evosaur.runxiyu.org](https://git.evosaur.runxiyu.org) in the future. |
