Big companies often take open code, build closed products, and profit — leaving maintainers to fund and support the project alone. The Redis situation is just one example.
We propose a fair model: if you fork the code, close the source, and make serious money from it, part of those profits should go back into the original project.
This only kicks in when value is extracted privately — unlike BSL or Fair License, which block usage entirely. Our goal isn’t to restrict, but to sustain.
There is a skills repository describing APIs (schemas, auth, constraints); any model can download skills it needs;
A tiny binary executes the actual API calls based on those skills.
If an API has a skill, the model can use it — same interface, same flow. Works equally well for local models and hosted ones.
