Why the BSD license? The research and initial development of nunaliit is funded by public funds provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The development team behind Nunaliit believes strongly that all the outputs of publically funded research and development should be freely available for use, modification, and re-distribution with minimal restrictions. We feel this open sharing of ideas and data is going to have huge positive impacts on society as a whole. With this license, everyone is free to use and expand upon this technology.
