🛡️ Protecting Your Code and Methodology in the Age of AI: Introducing RCF Protocol v1.2.7
As developers, we’ve always lived by the mantra of "Open Source." But in 2026, the landscape has shifted. We're no longer just sharing code with other humans; we're providing high-quality training data for AI models and automated extraction scripts. Standard licenses like MIT or GPL were built for a different era. They don't distinguish between a human reading your code to learn and an AI "digesting" your unique correlation methodologies to replicate them at scale. That’s why I built RCF (Restricted Correlation Framework) . 🚀 What is RCF? RCF is an author-defined licensing protocol that creates a clear boundary between Visibility and Usage Rights . The core philosophy is simple: Visibility ≠ Rights. ✅ ALLOWED : Reading, studying, and manual auditing. ❌ RESTRICTED : AI/ML training, automated extraction, and methodology replication. It’s the first license designed to be AI-resistant while remaining Source-Visible . 🆕 What’s New in v1.2.7: The Audit Release We’ve just released RCF v1.2.7
