OPEN SOURCE # Common *foundations*. ==Your application== belongs to you. Our development bricks are published as open-source. You can integrate them freely, including inside a 100% proprietary project, thanks to a permissive license with no viral clause. Your business code stays your business code. ![Blackcube open-source](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/license-1b5613.jpg) [Let's talk about your project](https://blackcube.io/en/contact) ## Technology is a means, never an ==end== Open-source, for us, isn't a religion. It's a tool serving an objective: shipping faster and more solidly, without locking you into technical choices that will cost you dearly tomorrow. Our commitment is on the outcome: an application that keeps its promises, teams who benefit from it. ## The common foundations Everything that gets reinvented project after project without carrying your differentiation. The shared technical foundations, the ones that should already exist, ready to use, hardened in production. We publish them once, we maintain them, you benefit without recurring cost. Why share them? Because they bring **no competitive advantage**, neither to you nor to us. But they save weeks of development on every new project, and that's the saving we pass on to you. By opening them up to the community, we harden them at marginal cost. More peers reviewing, more bugs caught early, more use cases covered. Your project starts on foundations already proven across other demanding customers. ![Shared open-source foundations](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/170/advisor-detail-8d8c61.jpg) ## Contribute on GitHub [Contribute on GitHub](https://github.com/blackcubeio) ## What belongs to you Your business code: your business logic, your proprietary algorithms, your custom architecture, your unique UX. **It's your property, with no hidden clause and no retention at the end of the engagement.** We never share it without your explicit consent. The rule is straightforward: what gets reinvented everywhere, we publish ; what makes your difference, you keep. Concretely, you walk away with an asset that goes on the balance sheet, that can be transferred or defended in case of dispute. Your lawyers can sleep at night, your CTO too. ![Your business code stays yours](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/173/insurance-detail-75bb80.jpg) ## Permissive license, free choice No viral clause, no obligation to publish your own code. You integrate our bricks into a 100% proprietary project if that's your strategy, you modify them, you redistribute them, no hidden conditions. We favour open-source in our practice, but the strategy of your application stays yours. Open, hybrid, or fully proprietary: we adapt to your context, never the reverse. ## Why we bet on shared foundations A hammer is not a competitive advantage. What you build with it, yes. Our foundations are professional-grade tools, free and unrestricted. The value isn't there. **The value is in the business implementation.** Understanding your specific problem, architecting it in your context, implementing it coherently, maintaining it over time. That's what you pay for. And it belongs to you. ![The value sits in the business implementation](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/176/cases-8e4611.jpg) ## Stability over trend Our tools are built to last. Breaking changes do not fall out of the sky, and nobody forces a rewrite on you because an editor changed its mind. A technical foundation your teams master today, one that will keep carrying them over time. ## What you gain ![Modular architecture](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/179/rectangle-group-0b6f51.svg) Modular architecture Each tool is independent. You take only what you need, without superfluous dependencies that drag performance down. ![Guaranteed stability](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/180/shield-b7ce75.svg) Guaranteed stability No breakage, no planned obsolescence. What works today will still work tomorrow. ![Web standards respected](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/181/code-bracket-8a6c5d.svg) Web standards respected No exotic JavaScript reinventions. Readable by any developer: your team keeps the keys, your recruiting pool stays open. ![No vendor dependency](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/182/link-slash-6e30e5.svg) No vendor dependency You rely on open and lasting technologies, not on a vendor that could change its pricing or disappear. Risk under control, total cost predictable. ![Your code belongs to you](https://blackcube.io/cache/contents/24/blocs/183/key-89ec08.svg) Your code belongs to you The business code developed for you stays your property.
