The moral, ethical, and legal foundation of the Yonda ecosystem: open-source licensing under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property (ICIP) protocols, and author attribution.
Every kilometre of regional asphalt has a story. Millions of drivers pass by historical crossroads, sacred ancient landmarks, and pioneer relics every day in total silence, unaware of the cultural tapestry right outside their vehicle windows.
Yonda exists to turn regional commuting and road trips into an ambient, real-time spatial documentary — connecting people to the land, preserving verified local oral histories, and protecting sacred cultural sovereignty.
The source code across all repositories (packages/design-tokens, yonda-static, yonda-app, yonda-cms, yonda-api) is open for non-commercial community, research, and non-profit educational use under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0.
