License

KuberCoin is released under the MIT License.

Summary

KuberCoin is built from three independently licensed bodies of work: the reference client and tooling, the documentation set you are reading now, and the open coin protocol itself. Each is governed by a different license and each license is reproduced in full alongside the corresponding artefact in the source mirror at open.kuber-coin.com.

Reference client — MIT

The reference node, wallet, RPC server, explorer and SDK packages are released under the MIT License (SPDX identifier MIT). The license grants permission to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of the software, subject to including the copyright notice and permission notice in all copies.

The software is provided “AS IS”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. See the LICENSE file for the full text.

Documentation — CC-BY-4.0

Long-form documentation, the whitepaper, the SDK guide, the mining guide and every other prose page on this site are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (SPDX identifier CC-BY-4.0). You may copy, translate and adapt the material as long as you give appropriate credit and indicate if changes were made.

Protocol — public domain

The KuberCoin consensus rules, the wire protocol and the genesis parameters are released into the public domain (SPDX identifier CC0-1.0). The protocol does not depend on any single implementation and may be re-implemented from scratch by anyone without seeking permission.

Third-party components

Bundled third-party libraries retain their original licenses. The NOTICE file accompanying each release lists every upstream component, the license under which it is redistributed, and the unmodified upstream copyright notice.

Trademark

“KuberCoin”, the K-coin glyph and related logos are unregistered marks used by the project to identify its official releases and venues. Forks are welcome to ship under their own name but should not use the KuberCoin marks in a way that suggests endorsement.

Questions

Licensing questions are answered in the Legal category at forum.kuber-coin.com. The project does not provide legal advice; consult qualified counsel for guidance on a specific situation.
