Software
Movement
Let's change the economics of software development. A new open source license that rewards developers while staying true to open source principles.
How PSL Works
Revenue-sharing through copyright law — a new form of collective bargaining
License Your Software
Choose PSL for your open source project with a revenue-sharing percentage (e.g., PSL-5%). Developers use your software freely while under $1M revenue.
Companies Reach Revenue
When a company using PSL software exceeds revenue thresholds, they donate a percentage to any open source projects in their stack.
Ecosystem Grows
Revenue flows through the technology stack, funding developers at every layer and accelerating innovation collectively.
Design Goals
Principles that ensure PSL serves the open source community
