Community Source Licenses: Building Vibrant Web3 Open-Source Communities
Arbitrum's Community Source license model represents an evolution in open-source governance, enabling 300k+ community members to vote on technical decisions, manage a $3b treasury, and hold membership tokens. This approach combines open-source principles with community governance, contrasting with traditional closed-source and open-source models while treating all developers equally regardless of project size.
