A New Covenant for the Digital Age
The MitsuoLabs™ Legal Framework is a complete moral and legal operating system engineered for the complexities and existential risks of 21st-century technology.
Guiding Principles
This framework is animated by the non-binding *Declaration of Modern Days*. These are not suggestions; they are the moral axioms upon which this entire legal structure is built.
Design must account for ecological limits. Regeneration, not extraction, is our baseline. Product lifecycles must include restoration budgets.
We accept moral responsibility for harms. Preserve evidence, report transparently, and remediate swiftly. Concealment is a material breach.
We reject the sin of omission. Knowing of a harm and failing to act is complicity. Silence is not neutrality; it is a choice.
The Dual-License Architecture
The framework’s core innovation is its revolutionary dual-license architecture. It cleanly separates the governance of source code from compiled binaries, providing a seamless and legally robust transition from open-source development to professional commercialization.

A Clash of Philosophies
The MRSL was engineered to prevent the systemic value extraction common with permissive licenses, creating a protected commons instead of a corporate resource pool.
Stewardship & Commons (MRSL)
- âś“ Guarantees user freedom
- âś“ Mandates source availability
- âś“ Builds a protected, shared commons
- âś“ Prevents proprietary capture
Permissive & Capture (MIT/BSD)
- âś— Allows user freedom to be revoked
- âś— Allows proprietary, closed derivatives
- âś— Can lead to commons collapse
- âś— Enables total proprietary capture

Key Innovations
Revolutionary Ethical Bargain
The optional Stewardship Rider allows contributors to adopt a binding Ethical Use Covenant in exchange for powerful legal protections, including patent indemnification.
Axiomatic Legal Engineering
The MMPEULA is built on a system of 'Axioms'—clear, self-contained rules that provide a stable, predictable foundation, replacing ambiguity with precision.
Community Bill of Rights
The MRSL-1.0 codifies the rights of users and contributors, including the right to transparent governance, the right to fork, and the right of repair.
The Alexandria Clause
A binding commitment to the long-term, durable preservation of legal texts and source code in the world's most respected archives, ensuring perpetual access.
A Call to Stewardship
This is more than a legal document. It is a constitution for a new kind of technological development—one rooted in responsibility, reciprocity, and a profound respect for life. Adopting this framework is a declaration that you choose to be a steward, not just an inventor. You choose to build a future that is not only possible, but just.
