Primes

• Open Publication for Interoperability
  • In open-source software, package releases on registries pair permissive licenses with stable handles and disciplined version commitments, enabling the modern composition-by-dependency ecosystem.

    This sourceSets the criteria an open-source license must meet — free redistribution, available source code, and explicit permission for modifications and derived works — the license-and-redistribution discipline that lets package registries support composition-by-dependency.

Domain-specific

• Open-Source Artificial Intelligence
  • For a machine-learning system, the preferred form for modification includes sufficiently detailed information about training data, the complete source code used to process data, train, validate, test, and run the system, and the model parameters.

    This sourceDefines the four freedoms and the required data information, code, and parameter elements of the preferred form for modification.

  • This sourceSupplies the software lineage: free redistribution, source in the preferred form for modification, derived works, nondiscrimination, and technology-neutral terms.
