Contributing
Meldwork is source-available under the Meldwork Non-Commercial Source License. Contributions are welcome when they improve the local-first desktop product, documentation, tests, or security posture.
Unless a separate written agreement applies, a contribution accepted into this repository is available under the repository license. The project may also offer separately licensed commercial editions. Before external code is incorporated into a separately licensed commercial build, the maintainer may require a reviewed contributor-license agreement that grants the necessary relicensing rights. Opening a pull request by itself does not transfer copyright or silently grant those additional rights.
Ground Rules
- Keep changes small and tied to a clear product or engineering need.
- Do not submit secrets, tokens, private logs, private prompts, or user data.
- Do not add remote services, telemetry, credential collection, or server dependencies without explicit project approval.
- Preserve the local-first boundary: renderer code must not gain unrestricted filesystem, shell, Provider credential, or executable-path access.
- Include focused tests for behavior, security boundary, storage, or IPC changes.
- Confirm that all submitted code and assets are yours to license and do not introduce incompatible license obligations.
Commercial Editions
Commercial use of Meldwork requires prior written permission. Commercial editions, proprietary integrations, support, and other paid offerings may use separate terms; see COMMERCIAL_USE.md.
