We keep the source code and the build tools freely-licensed +and available to everyone to inspect, modify, and distribute. +The goal of VyOS is to create a network operating system available to everyone who needs it. +We welcome contributions from all community members and we are happy to share our work on LTS releases +with contributors. We also don't require contributors to give us exclusive rights to their contributions, +and VyOS source code belongs to the entire community. + +However, success of a project and its ability to receive funding through commercial services +rests on the reputation of its maintainers. +And the "pay for binaries" LTS release model only works if access to images is actually restricted +to those who support the project by purchasing a subscription or contributing. + +We cannot let other people and organizations exploit our reputation for gain or put it at risk +by distributing modified images with VyOS branding, or compromise the LTS business model +by redistributing pre-built images meant for subscription holders. + +We enforce that through trademarks and copyrighted artwork. + +Use and distribution of pre-built LTS images is governed by a EULA you can find in /usr/share/doc/vyos/EULA +on the live image and in installed systems. + +Self-built images can be freely distributed, but only if you replace the branding with yourn own, +that is, replace all artwork files that contain the VyOS logo and all end-user-visible mentions of the VyOS name. + +# The letter + +VyOS is a registered trademarks in the United States, countries of the European Union, and other countries. + +The copyright to the artwork files that contain the VyOS logo, such as data/live-build-config/includes.binary/isolinux/splash.png +belongs to Sentrium S.L. and affiliated, all rights reserved. -- cgit v1.2.3
