Take Back Control of your Software!

Join the movement

The GPL has failed

It tried to give power to users, but it only gave power to the developer community.

Commercial closed source software is unnecessarily profitable

This is an inefficient market ripe for change.

There is a middle ground

There is a middle ground yet to be achieved, we need a new license and a new business model, join me in giving the power of software back to normal people.

A new way of licensing / funding / building / selling software that brings balance to the world.

Cookbook

I want to create a repeatable guide for creating these businesses, here are the resources you'll need.

• the-license.md - all created software will be under this license, this will be the banner we march under
• the-business-model.md - this is a model (like a franchise) for how to set one up yourself if you believe in the mission
