Fair Source

This is the repo for fair.io.

Governance and Process

Fair Source is just getting started, so our governance and process are fairly lightweight. Chad Whitacre (Sentry) and Zeke Gabrielse (Keygen) are handling new company and license submissions.

For companies, we are looking for a) a blog post announcement about b) a software product using a Fair Source license. If you're using BUSL we will need to review your license more closely since BUSL can have highly variable implementations.

For licenses, we're still working out specifics but we intend to be fairly stringent in order to avoid license proliferation. Of course your license must meet the Fair Source Definition. It must also not put an undue burden on the user to monitor their compliance with your license (any compliance checks should be built into your software itself). It should also be adopted at more than one company, at least.
