Kroncash embraces the open-source philosophy to promote transparency, collaboration, and innovation within the cryptocurrency and DeFi communities. Here’s a breakdown of our approach to open-source software (OSS) licensing and code availability:

1. **OSS License Type**:
   - **GNU General Public License (GPL)**: Kroncash primarily uses the GPL for most of its software to ensure that all derivatives of our code remain open and free for public use under the same license. This licensing type promotes a collaborative environment where improvements and modifications by the community benefit all users by remaining accessible and freely distributable.
   - **MIT License**: For smaller libraries and utilities that are part of the Kroncash ecosystem, we may use the MIT license. This is more permissive, allowing other developers more freedom in how they use and integrate this software into their own projects, whether open-source or proprietary.

2. **Code Availability**:
   - **Public Repositories**: The core components of Kroncash, particularly those dealing with the blockchain interactions, smart contracts, and the primary application logic, are available in public repositories. This includes our smart contracts for token creation, the decentralized exchange mechanisms, and our liquidity pool algorithms.
   - **Private Repositories**: Certain elements of our codebase, primarily those involving proprietary algorithms or those that handle sensitive security measures, are kept private. This is necessary to safeguard the system against vulnerabilities and to protect the intellectual property that gives Kroncash a competitive edge in the market.
   - **Hybrid Approach**: For parts of our infrastructure that integrate both open-source and proprietary technologies—like our risk management tools and predictive algorithms—we adopt a hybrid approach. Basic versions are open-sourced to benefit the community, while more advanced features or enterprise-level capabilities remain proprietary.

This strategy of combining GPL and MIT licenses with a selective approach to public and private repositories allows Kroncash to maintain a balance between open collaboration and necessary protection of its innovations. It enables us to foster a robust development community around our open-source projects while securing the critical parts of our technology stack that require confidentiality and security.
