Vi er store fans av MIT-lisensen, spesielt på grunn av enkelheten, som gjør den til en perfekt lisens for små programvareprosjekter.
Likevel, på grunn av PSONOs vekst, har vi tatt oss tid til å undersøke andre open source-lisenser som er kompatible med MIT, men som beskytter bidragsytere bedre. Derfor vil vi bytte til Apache-lisensen i neste utgivelse.
Den offisielle dokumentasjonen gjenspeiler allerede denne endringen. Alle bidrag til Psono vil bli lisensiert under:

Videre har vi lagt til "Developer Certificate of Origin", som folk som er kjent med Linux-kjernen kanskje allerede har erfaring med, som et krav for bidrag.
