The Evosaur Project intends to be a parent metaproject for alternatives to
modern computing, including but not limited to the fields of CPU architectures,
operating systems, networking protocols, and userspace programs. 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.
