💡 Open Source That Shares Success

💡 A Fair Future for Open Source in Embedded Systems

Most open-source projects rely on donations or volunteer effort.
micrOS tries a different path:

• Free for personal use & prototyping
• 5% license fee on commercial products
• 5% of all revenue flows back to MicroPython (our foundation)
• Remaining revenue is shared:
  • Founder (long-term stability)
  • Hardware contributors
  • Software contributors
  • Investors/partners

🎯 The Goal

Reward adoption, not bloat.
If your board sells or your module is used, you earn.

---

🌍 Beyond Money

The real intention is to build a strong community:

• Working together on practical tools
• Making embedded systems widely available
• Ensuring everyone who contributes benefits

---

It’s open source, but sustainably funded, community-driven, and focused on real-world impact.

👉 What do you think? Could this model be a blueprint for fairer open source in embedded systems?
