ShapeBit OS

ShapeBit OS is source-available. ShapeBit-authored operating system software is licensed under the PolyForm Shield License 1.0.0.

Fedora, the Linux kernel, and other third-party components remain governed by their own licenses.

Sources

Each version’s sources are published next to it, for as long as that version can be downloaded: the source RPM of every package in it under a copyleft license, such as the GPL, the LGPL, or the MPL.

  • The system, ghcr.io/shapebit-software/os:<version>: its sources are ghcr.io/shapebit-software/os:<version>-sources, an OCI artifact with one file per source RPM. The image’s label software.shapebit.sources names it, and so does each release’s notes. To download them:

    podman artifact pull ghcr.io/shapebit-software/os:<version>-sources
podman artifact extract ghcr.io/shapebit-software/os:<version>-sources <directory>

    The version that a computer runs is IMAGE_VERSION in /etc/os-release, and Settings > Licenses names its sources.

  • The installer, shapebit-installer.img.xz: its sources are shapebit-installer-sources.tar, beside it.

ShapeBit’s own code is in its repositories on GitHub.
