Open Source Philosophy
How Vestval engages with open source — as a user, a contributor and a good citizen.
Overview
Open source is foundational to modern software, and Vestval takes its responsibilities as a consumer and contributor seriously. We rely on open source, contribute back where we can, and manage the security and licensing of what we use.
This philosophy explains how we think about open source — not as free labor, but as a shared commons we help maintain.
