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.

Rationale¶

Why open-source philosophy is a corpus domain¶

The whole point of libdrone is freedom, not the hardware itself — the ability to build, understand, repair, and modify your own platform without asking anyone's permission or depending on a vendor's continued goodwill. That freedom only exists because every layer of the stack is open. This domain makes the argument for why that matters, on its own terms, rather than assuming the reader already agrees.
