Software licenses for DeFi
In DeFi, we regularly observe clashes between ideals and realities; the topic of software licensing models for DeFi protocols being one of the latest and most prominent examples. In DeFi’s early days, the consensus was to use fully open source licenses to align with DeFi’s ideals of openness and transparency. However, DeFi staple protocols such as Uniswap or Aave have recently opted for more restrictive licenses. Others such as EigenLayer or Liquity are following suit.

The underlying objective of this movement is to enhance inclusivity, transparency, and security of financial services as these are delivered by open and predictable programs through a public infrastructure.
