>Licensing</a></h2>
<p>Inferencium cares about upstreaming and sharing code, strongly preferring licenses which
have high license compatibility in order to permit sharing code with as many other projects
as possible; for this reason, permissive licenses are our preferred choice, while avoiding
copyleft licenses and other licenses which place restrictions on how our code may be used,
and prevent us from including important proprietary code, such as firmware, which can patch
security vulnerabilities, privacy issues, and stability issues. All Inferencium code is and
will be permissively licensed unless specific circumstances make it impractical or
infeasible to do so. Our goal is to share code which has the least amount of restrictions as
possible, to allow wider propagation of our code and allow more use cases and possibilities,
as well as ensuring proprietary code, whenever required, is permitted to be included.<br>
