Service Overview
Why licensing comes first
Choosing a license is the most consequential decision in an open-source project, and most teams get it backward. We help you compare permissive families (MIT, BSD, Apache-2.0) against copyleft (GPL, AGPL, LGPL) and source-available options (BSL, SSPL, Elastic) by mapping the choice to your business model, your distribution channels, and the boundaries you actually need. The license sets the rules; everything else — governance, contribution model, dual-licensing — flows from it. We make that decision explicit, on paper, before the first commit.

Why licensing comes first
Choosing a license is the most consequential decision in an open-source project, and most teams get it backward. We help you compare permissive families (MIT, BSD, Apache-2.0) against copyleft (GPL, AGPL, LGPL) and source-available options (BSL, SSPL, Elastic) by mapping the choice to your business model, your distribution channels, and the boundaries you actually need. The license sets the rules; everything else — governance, contribution model, dual-licensing — flows from it. We make that decision explicit, on paper, before the first commit.
What we set up before the first commit
SPDX identifiers exist so the license of every file, dependency, and container layer can be expressed unambiguously. We use SPDX across the project: in source headers, in package metadata, in CI checks, and in the SBOM we publish with each release. License compatibility is reviewed alongside it — AGPL-3.0 code cannot be statically linked into a closed binary, and Apache-2.0's patent grant interacts with GPLv2 in subtle ways. These are not edge cases; they decide whether your product can ship at all.

How We Work
A predictable cadence from kickoff to launch. Every step ends with something you can review and approve — no black boxes.
License Strategy
Pick the license family — permissive, copyleft, or source-available — and the SPDX identifier before any code is written.
Ecosystem Selection
Choose the upstream framework and ecosystem based on maintainer health, release cadence, and license compatibility.
Governance Setup
Define who decides what — BDFL, core team, foundation, or vendor-neutral — and commit it to writing.
Release Engineering
Set up CI, semantic versioning, signed releases, changelogs, and migration notes so a new maintainer can ship a release on day one.
SBOM & Audit
Generate an SBOM, audit dependency licenses, and separate open from proprietary code before the first release goes public.
Community Launch
Document contribution guidelines, sign the CLA or DCO, publish a code of conduct, and announce the project in the right channels.
Key Benefits
What you actually get when the engagement is run our way — the outcomes, not the deliverables list.
License and SPDX up front
A clear license family and SPDX identifiers in code, package metadata, and CI before the first commit lands.
Governance that survives the founder
A written GOVERNANCE.md with decision rules, quorum, and a removal path so the project outlives any one person.
Signed, reproducible releases
Semantic versioning, signed tags, and a release process any maintainer can run on day one without paging the original author.
SBOM with every release
CycloneDX or SPDX artifacts published alongside binaries so consumers can answer dependency and CVE questions in minutes.
Community that works
Contributing guide, code of conduct, DCO or CLA, and an enforcement path that signals the project is a real place to contribute.
Who This Is For
Teams and leaders we've built this service for. If any of these sound like you, we're a strong fit.
Companies open-sourcing a tool
Engineering teams preparing to release an internal library or platform and needing a license, governance, and CI plan that scales.
Founders building a community
Project authors who want adoption and contributors without giving up the right to ship a commercial edition later.
Vendor-led foundations
Companies evaluating or launching a vendor-neutral foundation and needing an honest governance review before the press release.
Regulated industries
Healthcare, finance, and infrastructure projects that need a clean SBOM, license audit, and CVE process for procurement.
Maintainers inheriting a project
New maintainers taking over an active project and needing a release process, governance doc, and security workflow to keep it healthy.
