MIT with a voluntary covenant economics layer. Use freely. Modify freely. Deploy freely. The formula is given freely — and in WCL-1.1, it is given in a form that cannot be taken down.
Removes the dissolution clause entirely. Introduces a federated node architecture where any party can run a WCL node with the license text as the only seed. Anchors releases to IPFS — content-addressed, permanently retrievable regardless of what happens to any domain or server. The license that cannot be taken down.
The original WellSpr.ing Covenant License. MIT-equivalent permissive grant with a voluntary covenant economics layer. Named contributors, transparent allocation table, civic mission fund. Includes a dissolution fail-safe: if WellSpr.ing ceases operations, software reverts to MIT. WCL-1.1 supersedes this clause with a federated node architecture instead.
