License

The vast majority of the HASH monorepo contains open-source code variously licensed under either:

In the interests of transparency, certain proprietary code is also made available under the source-available HASH License.

1. License Determination

The following rules apply on the main branch only. The license for a particular work is defined in accordance with the following prioritized rules (precedence established first-to-last):

  1. If present: license information directly present in the work file defines its license;
  2. Else, if: the work exists directly or indirectly inside a directory titled _h, the file is available under the HASH License only;
  3. Else, if: a LICENSE, LICENSE.md or LICENSE.txt file exists in the same directory as the work, this defines its license;
  4. Else, if: a LICENSE, LICENSE.md or LICENSE.txt file is found when exploring parent directories of the work up to the project top level directory, the first one encountered defines the license applicable to the work;
  5. Otherwise: by default, the work is dually available under both the MIT License and Apache License 2.0, at your option.

No license is granted by HASH to work or files on branches other than main.

2. Quick Reference

As outlined by the license files in the respective directories:

  • Within /blocks source code is (unless otherwise noted) generally available under either the MIT License or Apache License 2.0, at your option.
  • Within /apps, /libs and /tests, source code in sub-directories (including those which are nested) named @local or prefixed hash are typically licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License 3.0.

These quick reference guidelines are provided as general heuristics only. In all cases, you should follow the above license determination rules, outlined in section 1 (above), to verify the actual terms under which work is available.

And remember: anything inside a directory titled _h (no matter how deeply nested within) is available under the HASH License only. This applies to code repo-wide (including to code within the aforementioned /apps, /libs and other directories).
