How collaboration works
LibreCourseUY is built around open collaboration.
Members are welcome to bring their own projects, including projects with private or commercial components. However, collaboration organized through LibreCourseUY must happen on open-source parts of those projects.
Project owners retain ownership and governance of their work. LibreCourseUY does not claim rights over members private projects or proprietary code.
Commercial or proprietary work, including paid development, employment, consulting, equity arrangements or work under NDA, must be agreed independently between the members involved. LibreCourseUY is not a party to those agreements.
In short: what we build together as a community, we build in the open.
