Anti 996 License Version 1.0
-blue.svg){kind=icon}
The project is started purely out of my research interest with no political factors involved. The study of open source license is a new area of law and it indicates that China has gradually gainning discourse power in the world in terms of high-tech industry. I believe that one day China will have its own open source foundation and will have a say in making the rules for open source software. I hope that the project will be maintained as a research project with support from domestic academic institutions.
