Public-Goods Commitment
OGAL is designed as public-goods infrastructure.
This is not a branding choice. It is an architectural one.
What Public-Goods Means Here
- The protocol remains free to use
- No platform lock-in is introduced
- Ownership rules apply equally to all participants
The system does not extract rent simply for existing.
Why This Matters Long-Term
Public-goods infrastructure:
- Outlives individual companies
- Attracts broader adoption
- Reduces ecosystem risk
This commitment is what allows:
- Competing platforms
- Independent developers
- Long-lived assets
To coexist without central dependency.
Final Note
Public goods require restraint. This project is designed to exercise it.
