Som grans fans de la llicència MIT; especialment la seva simplicitat la fa una llicència perfecta per a petits projectes de programari.
Tanmateix, degut al creixement de PSONO, ens hem pres el temps de revisar altres llicències de codi obert compatibles amb MIT, però que protegeixen millor els col·laboradors. És per això que, amb la propera versió, farem el canvi a l’Apache.
La documentació oficial ja reflecteix aquest canvi. Totes les contribucions a Psono s’assignaran sota la següent llicència:

A més, hem afegit el "Developer Certificate of Origin", que potser alguns coneixeu pel seu ús al nucli de Linux, com a requisit per a les contribucions.
