Open source philosophy
Summary¶
The open-source-philosophy domain explains why libdrone uses FOSS components throughout its stack, what the practical consequences of proprietary dependency are, and how the complete FOSS stack maps to EU strategic autonomy requirements. These are not ethical positions — they are engineering risk assessments. Open source mitigates vendor lock-in, enables community maintainability, and satisfies the auditability requirements of EU procurement and research funding frameworks.

Procedure¶
Rationale¶
Why open-source philosophy is a corpus domain¶
libdrone's institutional buyers — municipal emergency management, civil preparedness groups, EU research institutions — increasingly require auditable, open-source platforms as a procurement condition. The domain provides the content to satisfy that requirement from the corpus itself, without needing to refer buyers to external FOSS advocacy resources.
