Specifications : BSD 3-Clause License
Technology Innovation : We are seeking patent protection for the core technologies described in these LPs. See LP-0010: Technology Portfolio for the complete portfolio of 100+ innovations.
Why We Can't Share More : US patent law (since the America Invents Act of 2013) and UK law provide no grace period for prior public disclosure, preventing us from fully open-sourcing certain innovations until patent applications are filed. We believe these laws harm independent inventors but must operate within them.
Commercial Use : Contact oss@lux.network for commercial licensing inquiries.
Open AI Protocol Exception : Automatic license granted for operating nodes on Lux Network and any network built on the Open AI Protocol (PoAI consensus).
