## Why This License?

We believe in transparency. We share our source code so that our users, security researchers, and the broader community can verify that we honor our privacy commitments. We chose the Business Source License because it protects the labor of a small, independent team while ensuring this code eventually becomes fully open source.

We call this **Right Livelihood for Creators**: we share our work for your safety, but we protect it so we can remain independent and never need to sell your data to survive.

If you are an individual, a researcher, a nonprofit, or a small business — welcome. Use this code freely. If you are a large commercial entity, we simply ask that you contact us so we can build a fair relationship.
