Veliki smo obožavatelji MIT licence, posebice zbog njezine jednostavnosti koja je čini savršenom za male softverske projekte.
Ipak, zbog rasta PSONO-a, odvojili smo vrijeme i istražili druge open source licence koje su kompatibilne s MIT licencom, ali bolje štite suradnike. Zato ćemo s idućim izdanjem prijeći na Apache licencu.
Službena dokumentacija već odražava ovu promjenu. Sve doprinose u Psono-u licenciramo pod:
