Shouldn’t Licensing and IP be put in the statutes so that no Board, in the future, could change that decision?

Category: 4. Licenses, IP, and standardization

The inventor has well-educated opinions on licensing an IP and is very well-suited to assess future changes and adapt to them for the well-being of the open-source KERI Suite.

That is why his role needs to be able to veto changes. In the future, when Samuel Smith steps back for any reason, we could adjust the statutes so that no board can change that decision in the future.

Why not go straight for an ISO-TC proposal to get KERI, ACDC, and CESR standardized as swiftly as possible?

Category: 4. Licenses, IP, and standardization

It could be a parallel approach to our effort via the ToIP/Linux foundation. However, it takes a lot of work and time to pursue ISO-TC individually.

Our take is to go through a recognized body like the Linux Foundation. Because ISO does not allow them to go straight to them.
