Governance

Winnux governance defines how decisions are made, how contributions are approved, and how the project stays healthy.

Roles

Winnux has five core profiles:

Decision process

Architectural decisions are documented in ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) under docs/adr/. Each ADR is numbered and dated.

Branch protection

Protected branches require human approval for merging. AI agents may not merge their own pull requests.

Licenses

Each component must state its license. Kernel-related material follows the Linux kernel licensing. Third-party software and binary drivers are distributed only in accordance with their respective license terms. Winnux itself is distributed under the Posttyp A-IPv4 license — see the License page for details.
