Governance
The interface is led by AutoIsto s. r. o. Comments are welcome; the first partners are invited as reviewers.
Changes to the interface are proposed in writing with a rationale and a review period; the editors (AutoIsto s. r. o.) decide.
What is open and what is not#
Isto Intents is an open interface, not open-source software:
| what | status |
|---|---|
| the interface: specification, bindings, JSON Schemas, examples | open, CC BY 4.0 — anyone may implement it |
| AutoIsto's service that holds intents and delivers offers | proprietary, operated by AutoIsto s. r. o.; no source code is published and no reference implementation is promised |
| the name "Isto Intents" and the logo | not licensed; use of the name for a conforming implementation will be allowed under a separate, simple trademark policy |
Anyone can build their own holder, agent or offer source against the interface. Interoperability is defined by the schemas and the rules in the specification, not by shared code.
