The Kiteworks Open Source Program Office, operating under the ownCloud brand, launched on May 5, 2026, to steward the open source ecosystem around ownCloud's products.

For questions about the OSPO or licensing, contact ospo@kiteworks.com.
The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the Apache License 2.0, following the Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy.
Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file in each repo reflects its current license status (not the target).
Current license: AGPL-3.0 (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).
Migration prerequisites for this repository:
- CLA/DCO coverage: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
- Copyleft dependency audit: All AGPL/GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
- KDE heritage review: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
- Complete relicensing: AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files, not just a header change
