Consortium Agreement
The SimpleX Network Consortium is an agreement between parties about the licensing and governance of the SimpleX Network protocols. The Consortium is not a legal entity. Initially there are two parties; other non‑profits and for‑profit companies can join.
The Consortium governs the process of changes to SimpleX Network specifications. Day‑to‑day development is done by the Consortium parties.
Governance describes the process in detail — how protocol specifications change, how IP is licensed, how the Consortium Agreement itself can change.
