License & Open Source

this isn’t “our” system. it’s everyone’s who’s crazy enough to build with it. brainz is under the MIT license – no bullshit, no hidden traps. you wanna fork it, rip it apart, and ship your own monster? go for it.


what the mit license actually means

you can:

  • run brainz anywhere — personal, commercial, academic

  • mod every layer: backend, cli, memory, agents, whatever

  • throw it into a closed-source product if you feel like it

  • host it 100% local, zero outside calls

  • redistribute it raw or rewritten

you must:

  • keep the copyright notice

  • include the license when you ship it

  • accept the “as-is, no warranty” deal (it’s on you if you break it)

full text → /LICENSE


why mit?

because control > convenience. the whole point of brainz is flipping the bird to vendor lock-ins:

  • no begging for api keys

  • no cloud telemetry ratting out your data

  • your memory stays yours

  • your agents don’t answer to some corp, they answer to you

mit lets you own the stack you deploy. period.


fork it. break it. rebuild it.

this isn’t sacred code. it’s modular for a reason:

  • write new cli scripts

  • hack in your own adapters

  • swap vectorizers or scoring logic

  • build agents that nuke, retrain, rewrite

  • fix docs (hell, make ‘em worse if that’s your style)

submit prs, or don’t. do your thing.
