The FinOS license generator, it's need for Licensing Financial in Institutions
summary
Argues that clear, reusable licenses solve inner‑source friction in regulated banks and reports a working license generator MVP that assembles selectable clauses for scope and boundary clauses, attribution, redistribution, warranty, security-fix obligations and even LLM data‑use restrictions. The tool runs as simple code, produces a legal-text preview and exports Markdown license files for projects, and is published for teams to reuse and refine toward a common FinOS set rather than bespoke legal work each time.
