+VyOS is a fully open source, enterprise-grade router platform.
+Being open source and community-driven is not a liability for us, not an early stage gimmick we want to shed—it’s our distinctive advantage.
+VyOS started as a [community fork of discontinued Vyatta Core] in 2013, with a promise to live up to free and open source software values.
+We kept the promise and turned VyOS into a successful, self-funded project.

+
+# Open source
+
+VyOS is fully open source and we encourage everyone to build images and report any build process issues.
+The source code of the rolling release and LTS branches alike is available online. However, simply making code available is not enough.
+
+We also keep the complete build toolchain available, and we strive to make it easy to use. You can build a VyOS image in just a few commands.
+There is no special maintainer toolchain we keep to ourselves: all image build tools are available to everyone interested.

+
+# Open process
+
+Our issue tracker is available online.
+There is no private issue tracker: even issues reported by commercial users through the support portal are registered in the public tracker
+(except security issues before public disclosure of course).
+
+Everyone is free to browse open tasks, test them, fix them, and make pull requests.
+
+We do not have any contributor agreements that require you to transfer your copyrights to us.
+The copyright is shared between all contributors. This means no one can make a closed source fork of VyOS—not even its current maintainers.

+
+# Open platform
+
+VyOS is not just a product, but an open platform.
+It uses a layered architecture with unified and documented internal APIs.
+
+A number of major features were contributed by community members.
+Command definitions are written in a machine-verifiable XML format and malformed definitions fail the build.
+Our new code is in legacy-free Python3, and some core components are in OCaml.
+
+Every part of the system is open to contributions.

+
+# Open community
+
+We welcome all contributors. Even if you are not a programmer, there are many things to do: testing, documentation, evangelism and so on.
+
+Since you are sharing your time and effort with us to make the project better, we are also happy to share our LTS release maintenance effort with you.
+Every active contributor can get access to prebuilt LTS images.
+
+We also issue contributor badges through YourAcclaim that you can put on your CV.

+
+# Funding model
+
+VyOS is funded through cloud marketplace images, prebuilt LTS image subscriptions, and support/consulting services.
