Somos grandes fãs da licença MIT, especialmente porque sua simplicidade a torna uma licença perfeita para pequenos projetos de software.
No entanto, devido ao crescimento do PSONO, tomamos o tempo para analisar outras licenças de código aberto que são compatíveis com a MIT, mas que protegem melhor os colaboradores. É por isso que vamos mudar para a licença Apache na próxima versão.
A documentação oficial já reflete essa mudança. Todas as contribuições para o Psono serão licenciadas sob:

Além disso, adicionamos o “Developer Certificate of Origin”, que as pessoas ligadas ao Kernel do Linux podem conhecer, como um requisito para contribuições.
